Puerto Amuelles, July 20, 1967, II.

This looked almost like "displacement copulation".

After animals move off, we hear lots of AggS in distance. Obviously a big fight.

This subspecies certainly is much less quiet than I expected!!!!!

A few hundred yards further on, we come across groups of howlers. Very high in figs. Silent. Red-sided. 

And immediately we see (another?) group of Saimiri. Low in tangles of vines below howler. 6-20 ft above ground. Apparently not forming a real mixed flock with howlers

The Samiri pay almost no attention to us. Just mildly curious

Then Howlers begin to howl briefly. This apparently induces GM and L Trll by one Saimiri.

Saimiri group includes at leastone older infant which is locomoting by itself alone.

Then Howlers howl again. This induces a few "Tsit"s (and lower pitches "Tsit" or "Tchuck" Notes - probably "Tsit"-MGB), Then silence again.

A few feet further on, come across more Saimiri. Including ♀'s with young on back. Almost silent.

Arrive small finca (where we will stay the night) ca 3:10 pm. Located amid small, more or less cultivated plantations, surrounded by coastal forest

At 3:20 pm., we hear a sudden outburst of nose. I find that a whole bunch of Saimiri has come down to the ground, to pick up old orange from a garbage dump. And they are
