[[underline]]Ateles[[/underline]] ssp., Oct 30, 1960, II. [[circled]]48[[/circled]

ard me now may actually be attempts to "summon" me. But these young Reds do not have any real use for a "lost call" now, at least most of the time.
This morning I heard one young Red, about 1/3 grown, utter definite series of B Notes, 3 or 4 times. Apparently hostile. Possibly directed toward other young Reds or the adult Blacks some distance away.
These B's were quite loud and very distinct. Low-pitched and sharp. __ __ __ ___ I should imagine that these cries were "incipient" Agg B. (It is possible that the peculiar "Ord B" of adults is derived from high intensity Agg B. Or, more probably, both the Agg B and "Ord B" of adults are derived from the same "undifferentiated" B of young. The B patterns of one of the first young Blacks I had, L, would seem to be particularly significant to this connection.)
This afternoon the oldest of the young Red [[female symbol]]'s I have had for a long time (I shall call this animal "Julia" from now on) approached me while I was sitting on the ground, and went through the complete "greeting" patterns of animals of her age (slightly less than 1/2 grown) She came right up to me, uttering lots and [[underline]]lots of "Snorts"[[/underline]] quite like those of the Buster Black, described above on November 14 + 15, 1959, pp. 31 and 32. All these Snorts were accompanied by PL, and the PL was maintained between successive Snorts. The mouth was kept quite closed during most Snorts. Only occasionally opened a very little but as a Snort was uttered, and then closed again immediately.
Continuing PL + Snorts, Julia then started to climb all over me. Occasionally nibbling at parts of me, and also licking me from time to time. Then came right up and SNF'd at my face, and then nibbled at my moustache! She also "chewed" by herself, from time to time, in exactly the same way as various infant Spiders and Howlers I have had.
