Abstract
The menstrual flow was very obvious in Cercopithecus aethiops aethiops and lasted for 3 to 4 days. The animals observed had long, irregular menstrual cycles (24 to 149 days) probably due to immaturity. There is no true sexual skin. Mid-cycle bleeding was observed once. Changes in vaginal cytology did not appear to be definite enough to enable ovulation to be detected. Two animals had polymenorrhea and menorrhagia as-sociated with undiagnosed ovarian and uterine pathology.Keywords
