Abstract: | The hair length of Japanese monkeys was investigated. The hair of the Japanese monkey is long on the back and the lateral
side of the upper arm and short on the back of the hand. There was variation in the length of hairs in the same region of
the body. The distribution of hair length approximated to a normal curve and did not display any marked bias or skewness.
The increase in length of hairs was remarkable from 0 to 1 year of age, and then continued at a constant rate. Sex differences
in hair length were not so remarkable at any age. |
