Camps and Trails in China A Narrative of Exploration, Adventure, and Sport in Little-Known China In hunting for specimens of that gibbon, for American museums, I could rarely locate a troop save by the tree- top talk of its members. The Minds and Manners of Wild Animals A Book of Personal Observations Every morning, almost punctually at five o'clock, the gibbons or long-armed, man-like apes, began their loud chatter in the tree-tops, more suggestive of the calls of birds than of animals. Through Central Borneo; an Account of Two Years' Travel in the Land of Head-Hunters Between the Years 1913 and 1917 The gibbon, for instance, is said to take no notice of the dead. Man And His Ancestor A Study In Evolution Anggus himself once shot a gibbon when told to do so by one of us.

The Minds and Manners of Wild Animals A Book of Personal Observations Professor Owen, who is a musician, confirms the foregoing statement, and remarks, though erroneously, that this gibbon "alone of brute mammals may be said to sing." The Descent of Man Such a change would lead to a more consistent adoption of the upright attitude, which is partly found in the anthropoid apes, especially the gibbons.
