    The intra- and inter-specific variations in dental characters of three forms of Callicebus were studied: C. torquatus, C. moloch and C. personatus. Although the range of variations overlapped extensively in some traits, their frequencies or degree of development were consistently different among them. Thus, the species-level identification among Callicebus may be safely done.
    Furthermore, an evolutionary trend of Callicebus was suggested based on the dental morphologies. The trend seems to be represented from the torquatus-type molar to the personatus-type one through the moloch-type's as the succession of morphology. This evolutionary trend was also supported with the result of morphological comparisons between the living Callicebus and the fossil Cebidae monkeys from the middle Miocene.

    Metric and nonmetric characteristics of seven cranial series of recent and prehistoric populations from the Amur basin and Sakhalin were investigated. The Amur groups which Soviet anthropologists have defined as the Baikal type resemble one another. The Nivkh does not have its own peculiar physical characteristics in terms of cranial morphology. Metric analysis showed that the Troitskoe is separated from the recent Amur groups. Metric and nonmetric analyses revealed that the Sakhalin Ainu is isolated from other Mongoloid groups, as already mentioned by many researchers.

    HLA-DR specificities were typed using crude DNA from frozen blood samples. Crude extracts of DNA were prepared by boiling blood samples, and a specific segment of the HLA-DRB gene was amplified in vitro by polymerase chain reaction. After blotting to nylon filters, each specificity was detected by nonradioactively (dig-1l-dUTP)-labeled oligonucleotide probes. The results agreed with serological typing. Moreover, some DR subspecificities defined by mixed lymphocyte culture (HLA-D specificities) were also typed. These methods enabled us to utilize stored blood samples from families which have been kept at -30°C for eight years.
