Abstract

The color slides document observations in Ceylon [Sri Lanka] during the Smithsonian Primate and Elephant Surveys, 1968-1970. Some slides have captions including date, photographer, and description usually delineating observed behavior. Sometimes individual primates are named as well as time of day of behavior. Most images show vegetation, close up images of primates in their environment and other mammals. There are also images of written documentation including graphs.
