Abstract: The Growth of teeth among 44 rhesus monkeys under domesticated condition were observed and briefly reported in this paper.According to other data, the authors discussed the tooth patterns in correlation with age and ontogeny.They pointed out that in regard to tooth pattern or tooth sequence, the breeding age of male rhesus monkeys oughtnot earlier than the early stage of tooth pattern and for (2·1·2·2)/(2·1·2·3) the female,not earlier than the early stage of tooth pattern (2·1·2·2)/(2·1·2·2).

摘要： 猕猴(Macaca mulatta)齿序与年龄的关系,我们已作过简明报道(曾中兴,1965;曾中兴等,1980)。与人一样,猕猴有2套齿列,即20颗乳齿和32颗恒齿。约在5月龄时出齐全部乳齿,4.5岁时乳齿全被恒齿替换。通常,雄猴到6.5岁左右出齐恒齿,而雌猴要到7岁左右。此后,随同动物年龄的增长,各类牙齿的齿面会受到不同程度的磨损。因此,猴子的牙齿状况可用来估计其年龄。
