Abstract
Allometric analysis of maxillary postcanine tooth area (Y) compared to adult skull length (X) in 34 species of higher primates has revealed a very close relationship. The derived least squares equation is logY=2.223 logX−2.311 with a correlation coefficient of .98. The value of 2.223 for the allometric coefficient suggests that tooth area may be in part related to the amount of food ingested.
