The organizers of individual pre-Congress symposia interspersed their summaries among the main lectures, providing the basic details of exist ing theories, new data, and whatever consensus could be reached con cerning their particular topic. In keeping with what is probably the most urgent theme of these congresses, we included in this primary volume some extra material in the area-of primate conservation to augment the main lecturer's treatment. We acknowledge all the personnel of the Institute of Anthropology, Florence, and all other volunteers for their assistance.…
