ANNOUNCEMENTS
After having for years been besieged (and irritated)
by
requests for a scientific letters column, such as in
Nature or Science, an idea which we thought at first
ridiculous and which we resisted up until this morning,
Primate Nooz is now proud to announce that it will
henceforth have a scientific letters column, perhaps not
quite like the one in Nature, but more like the one in
PRIMATE LIFE. This column will be confined to scien-
tific letters only, and the letters are going to have to be
really scientific. Every letter will be screened and scru-
tinized by our Scientific Standards Department, and less
than scientific letters will simply not be accepted. The
column will appear in the Nooz on a semi-regular basis,
and will be called “Really Scientific Letters.”
We are also proud to be able to announce the promotion
of Mr. Christopher Shaw from West Coast Correspondent
to West Coast
Correspondent and Really Scientific Letters Editor, which
we sincerely hope will induce him to drop
once and for all any plans
he may be harboring to sue us.
'Recommended Reading' is now being handled by a
new
addition to our staff, Dr. Thrace Thrasher, M.D. of the National
Monkey Center, while Win Wing Win, eldest son
of the late frozen
Win Wing Wan, has returned to Hupeh, China, to begin his very own
series of 'Recommended
Reading' wall posters.

Adult male tight-lipped marmoset, mate died recently
after producing a fine pair of offspring who are now
driving me crazy. They're almost as big as I am and they
still want to ride. Need female to share burden. Please,
I'm getting desperate. A2
Sub-adult female Allenopithecus (Allen's
swamp mon-
key for those of you who don't know) desires to better
position in the world and leave the swamp. Would not
be averse to establishing a relationship with one of the
more advanced cercopithecines. Not very good-looking
but quite energetic. B9.
Young, bright, free-spirited, incredibly attractive
female
primate (I won't say what kind because I love mystery
and I'm open to any genus or species) seeks high-
spirited companion. Sexual dichromatism and dimor-
phism are definite turn-ons for me. I want to be taken
care of. You
must be the dominant type, strong,
healthy, experienced, big enough
in all the pertinent
dimensions, with good vision and superb vocal
ability.
Send photos and tape. D12
Male silverback mountain gorilla with severe asthma
wants to resettle in lowland locality. Preferably a re-
serve of some kind, but will consider a zoo if the right
place is available. Son anxious to take my place so must
act in a hurry. Call now. R17.
