C. Koford 7 Journal February 10, 1962 Kyushu Is., Japan primate males; rather a continuum, and he had given little though thought to relating or to a rank, although he said that in some other groups they were mated in the same order.

M. is going this August to Stanford for a year at the research institute (workburn sponsored, I think). | In evening I took train back to Kyoto (3720 yen, first class). Alternative would be boat to Kobe, then train. February 11, 1962. Arrived Kyoto station 0920 and was met by Kinya Nakajima (another monkey-worker) and S. Horiu (curator of JMC). Both spoke especially good English. They told me (or Kawai earlier) that a population of about 48 or Koshima (Miy Miyazaki) in S. Kyushu, an island about 4 km. in circumference, visited about 4 times a
