He walks deliberately along some of the larger branches in the semi-erect attitude which the great length of his arms and the shortness of his legs cause him naturally to assume; and the disproportion between these limbs is increased by his walking on his knuckles, not on the palm of the hand, as we should do.
1869, Alfred Russel Wallace, The Malay Archipelago, volume I, London: Macmillan and Co., page 91 - not comparablePartially or somewhat erect.
