Some aspects of the ecology and behaviour of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) in the wild state are described. It appears that the distribution of this species is considerably more limited than has been admitted till now. It is also probable that mandrills do not live together in the same place as drills (M. leucophaeus). Associations with other primate species are described as well as the status of the dominant male within the group and also the breeding season. Evidence is adduced that the ecology and behaviour are closely the drill.
