Abstract
An outline is given for a field kit aiming to substantially increase the in situ knowledge gleaned from feeding studies of primates. Measurements are made of colouration (spectrum of non-specular reflection) and many mechanic al, chemical and spatial properties of primate foods. Copyright (C) 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel.
