Abstract
In terms of craniometry, we examined HERSHKOVITZ'S hypotheses that, in Saguinus geoffroyi, populations on the western shore of the Rio Atrat o were closely related to S. leucopus, and that a morphocline could be traced from the eastern S. geoffroyi population to the western one. W e detected a morphological sequence from east to west (or east to west ) but did not find any evidence supporting the former hypothesis.
