A PRIMATE SURVEY IN NORTHERN BOLIVIA, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO GOELDIS-MONKEY, CALLIMICO-GOELDII

We conducted a 5-month survey on primates, with special attention to G oeldi's monkey (Callimico goeldii), in the rain forest of northwestern Bolivia. Goeldi's monkey is one of the kast documented of all South A merican primates, and very little is known about its distribution. We report observations on distribution, abundance, and habitat of Callimi co goeldii and other primates, incidental sightings of other mammals, and preliminary behavioral observations on Callimico and on two associ ated callitrichid monkey species: Saguinus fuscicollis and S. labiatus . We found a locality that appears to be particularly suitable for det ailed field observations on Callimico on the north bank of the lower R io Tahuamanu.
