Abstract
Results of qualitative and quantitative studies of prenatal skeletal development of M. mulatta were presented. Longitudinal radiographic observations were conducted on 20 monkeys of known gestational age, beginning on 120 days of gestation until the neonatal stage of skeletal development. The studies were based on multiple uterotomies on each pregnant female. The technique described provides accurate data on prenatal bone ossification, and permits an accurate estimation of fetal age in pregnant rhesus monkeys with unknown conception dates.
