Abstract
Nasalis larvatus is a large sexually dimorphic monotypic arboreal colobine endemic to the island of Borneo where it is largely restricted to riverine peat swamp and mangrove forests of the coastal lowlands. The paper describes the social organisation of N. larvatus observed from January 1990 to December 1991 in the Lower Kinabatangan region of nothern Borneo. The basic social unit of N. larvatus is a one-male group comprising a single adult male several adult females and their offspring. The social structure of N. larvatus in the Lower Kinabatangan is flrxible and comprised relatively stable one-male all-male and predominantly male non-breeding groups. Different groups frequently selected river-side sleeping sites that were close to one another. Some groups associated more than others did implying a secondary level of social organisation the band.
