pass & the range of monkeys. There was something to do, but return to the village as there was no water at the pass or in the forest below it where the monkeys lived. We pitched camp at the roadside a mile above the village which was our only water supply. 2 In the early morning we heard monkeys calling which by their notes we suspected were gibbons & this later proved to be the case. If the gibbons here are uniform black in the b's and brown mgs. They are larger than the Mann ling species but their call notes are similar but distinct, is being less prolonged that is more of a series of chacks or whistles. One rat traps caught the long tailed Tupin like monkey of the orangutangs of Gory Apodema & same places as the longtailed Orang apodens.
