Abstract
SPECTRAL tarsiers have been maintained in captivity for varying lengths of time by a number of observers1,2, 3; but only at stations actually within the area of their geographical distribution (Melanesia). No record has been found of this form reaching the zoological gardens of Europe or North America.
