Intentions w r.t. Leontopithecus Release L.r.rosalia into Poco das Antas. h.r.chrysopygus ? Probably into Tijuca Park. I was surprised at the [[underlined]]distance [/underlined]] separating the 3 races of rosalia, Chrysomelas is 1000 km North of Rio area where [[underlined]]rosalia [/underlined]] is common & [[underlined]]chrysopygus [/underlined]] equally far. Continuity of forest between chrysomelas & rosalia probable. But chrysopygus separated from coastal forest by mountain ridges which may have prevented continuity for considerable period. [[underlined]] L. rosalia [/underlined]]not supposed to [[strikethrough]]have been [/strikethrough]] be able to adapt to montane forest conditions. [[end page]] [[start page]] Visited Tijuca Bank briefly with Magnanini. Rosalia remarkable for brilliance of coloration. Sun or food? They give high protein feed in AM, ^[[natural]] fruits in PM. (are planting palms & other plants in Tyrica which can be eaten by Leontopithecus at release). Leontopith. also feed on insects. On brief view Bank contains 3 pro chrysopygus & several chrysomelas paired with rosalia. None of the rosalia have [[underlined]any [/underlined]]black on them. The [[underlined]] chrysopygus [/underlined]]are all black except for hindquarters, ^[[i.e.]]rump & venter. Tail ^[[& legs]] black. Occasional gold hair on back. They seem larger - or at least more sexual dimorphism [[orth?]] [[symbol for male twice]] >[[symbol for female twice]]. Piloerected, they look like Callicebus. When tail held [[image - drawing of arched tail]] very noticeable.
