| Abstract: | During a 20-month study of two troops ofP. entellus in a village habitat in West Bengal one of seven births was observed. The female came down to the ground 21 minutes prior
to parturition and returned to the trees 19 minutes later. She was accompanied by two adult females; there was no adult male
present in the troop. The amount of time spent on the ground was significantly greater than expected for that time of year. |
