✦ Synopsis

This expedition was orgauized by

Mr. H. J. Coolidge. The Carnegie Institution of Washington coiitributed a grant toward the author's expenses on this trip. Body weight and size of eye were determined on the freshly shot specimens in the field, the size of the orbit, naturally, only after the skeleton had been thoroughly cleaned at home. 'In the juvenile gorilla this proportion amounts to 38.6, i.e., to practically the same as in a juvenile chimpanzee of the same stage of dental development. Since, as discussed below, this index always decreases markedly with advancing age, it is safe to msume that the eye-orbit index of adult gorilla does not differ radically from that of adult chimpanzee.

## Abstract Published data on tooth size in 48 species of non‐human primates have been analyzed to determine patterns of variability in the primate dentition. Average coefficients of variation calculated for all species, with males and females combined, are greatest for teeth in the canine region.
