Abstract
The New World monkeys have achieved a position of considerable importance in biomedical research over the past two decades. One species, the squirrel monkey, is second only to the rhesus monkey in frequency of use in the laboratory; several others, notably the night monkey and several species of tamarins, are the preferred animal models for certain kinds of research; and still another, the common marmoset, possesses characteristics that, in all probability, will make it a valuable general laboratory primate of the future.
