This report summarizes demographic data collected on the Cayo Santiago colony of rhesus monkeys from 1976–1983 and compares the results with those from 1959–1964 [8,9]. For males and nonpregnant/nonlactating, pregnant, and lactating females mean (± 1 SD), body weights, crown‐rump lengths, and ponderal indices are tabulated for each age on a large (n = 586) single sampling of this free‐ranging population of macaques.
