Bill Moore has spent the last year traveling to museums to finish off his data collection and begin the final stages of his dissertation on Callicebus taxonomy, positional
 behavior, and biogeography.  Bill spent some time at the
British Museum last November/December and is excited to have discovered a possible new species of Callicebus
long forgotten in the specimen drawers there.  He also spent a month (despite the protestations of Susan) this past summer in the Great Divide Basin in Wyoming looking
for early Eocene mammals as part of a long term collaborative effort with Bob Anemone at Western Michigan and Wendy Dirks of Oxford College.  It was exciting to
work with a top notch geologist-Ron Watkins of Leakey fame and the discoverer of the Buluk site in
Kenya-to get a better understanding of the biostratigraphy spanning
the early Eocene in this area.  The team has also concluded work on an interesting late Paleocene mammal fauna and a Paleocene-Eocene faunal turnover event in our
localities.  This exciting info will be published in association with Chris Beard in the Annals of the Carnegie Museum in the near future.  Bill hopes to defend his
dissertation in the spring of 2006.
