[[underlined]] Cebus capucinus [[/underlined]],

[[three vertical lines and a vertical squiggly line in the left margin bordering the following paragraphs]]

homologous and analogous with the Q Notes of the [[puiche's?]] and the Glp's or SNG's of the Night Monkeys (it is more probably analogous to the Glp's - although it sounds more like the SNG's.)

When picked up in the hand, the captive Capuchin gives loud screams.  Quite human-sounding, and not unlike the obviously homologous scream or wail of the Night Monkey.  Also obviously homologous with the K of the [[Puiche's?]].

The captive specimen also sometimes gives a weak squeak-like single note (Squ).  When it approaches a human being without much evident hostility (no aggression).  This might conceivably be a weak, even "friendly", modification of the MG Note, (it sometimes gives the impression of being a "stifled" MG Note).

The captive animal also frequently utters a high-pitched squeaky but rather soft twittering noise.  I shall call this TW.  Rather like a soft version of the TW of the [[Puiche's?]], but with more "vibrations" or "semi-syllables" - more like the Trll of the [[Puiche's?]] in fact.  It might even be homologous with the Trll (and/or TW??) of the [[Puiche's]].  Apparently given when the animal is alarmed or nervous by a too close human approach.

Some of the MG's are accompanied by "puckering" of the lips . I shall call this P.  Relatively rare.  Apparently high intensity.  Only given with some of the loudest MG's.  MG's which may be on the grunt-like side; but are not, I think, the most
 

Transcription Notes:
I've tried to look up variations of "Puiche's" with reference to monkeys and have found nothing. I'm really not sure if I'm interpreting this word correctly.
