Abstract

Primate surveys were conducted in isolated primary west Malagasy decidous forest blocks around Baly Bay, north-western Madagascar. Eight species of primate were found, including Microcebus c.f. myoxinus, Hapalemur griseus occidentalis and Phaner furcifer. Two species were found only in Namoroka Strict Nature Reserve, which may mean that other forest blocks in the area have experienced primate extinctions. The record of M. c.f. myoxinus came from mangrove, the first confirmed record of a lemur from this habitat. The pelage of female Eulemur fulvus rufus was atypical.
