title: The relationship of tooth size to body size in a population of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).
abstract: Tooth areas correlate significantly with long bone measurements in a skeletal population of rhesus monkeys from Cayo Santiago. Correlations are relatively large for the troop as a whole, as well as for males and females separately. Femur and humerus length measurements show the higheres correlations with tooth size.
