"Gibbon - full grown ♀, genus Hylobates, gray-browed (common name hoolock). Native to Burma & S. India." This information Dr. Wall jotted down during telephone conversation with Mr. Baldwin by me of the zoo. The animal was picked up at zoo Sept. 10. Probably died the day before. No additional information, altho Mr. Baldwin probably can supply more.
