C. Koford. 47 Journal 23 March 1962 Delhi, India egs lay yet within several days. They had tried to get permission to trap obtain monkeys in Nepal, with no success. 24 March 1962. Spent most of day getting camera & items - out of customs, enquiring into monkey shipping flight, & looking return trip to U.S. via Zurich. Spent evening with Capt. Dr. Subramanian, the army veterinarian who helps with Battersea monkeys. 25 March 1962. Took morning train to Bharatpur, where Dr. Sali Alkin, ornithologist of Bombay, and several students and cooperators were banding migratory birds in Ghana sanctuary. There was deer shooting during about 3 months season in this area, of about 10 sq. miles. Hunting rights belonged to Maharaja of Bharatpur. General area had appearance of Colorado River region in Calif., or lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas - flat, mosquito & thorn scrub, shallow weedy lakes. Many anhinga, small cormorants, kingfishers, storks, ibises, ducks, plowers, mullets, & other birds; a fine display. But some buffalos grazing allowed in some the preserve, & others had permits to take wood, so not a "sanctuary" except for breeding water fowl. Good rest house & bungalows available here. The group stayed in guest house near the palace of the Maharaja. In late afternoon we went to area of 10' brusha near wheatfields & put up about 12 large mist nets near brush roots. Flocks of 1000 and more passer in grain fields, rising, falling, flowing. These headed for brush & tree roots in evening, so that shy fell of them - perhaps 1/2 million or more
