Delhi, India
game birds for introduction into U.S. Good source info on
much of India and problems travel, shipping, importing. Much
difficulty with petty harassment by officials. I "Johnny"
arrived from Kt Jogodhri area with only 9 monkeys. He
reported groups small, about 7 in bunch, + that area of
several groups visited. Dayta reported sending monkeys
from near Calcutta. [Some] to be shipped given sulpha drug
starting Mar. 25. Other will have for at least one day before
shipment. I again noted caged specimens on shelves (two
wood frames of cages). Also the sorting cage seemed newer
to have been cleaned + was also cabled. I again visited
M.S. Rai + was given two pale monkeys (0707, about 1 1/2 yrs.
old). He said they have trapping permit in a large area
of foothills near Kamrogan, + are not dependent on
local contractors. The older Rai said his men reported
animals being taken from Mailani area to Tonakpur
area to sell or T. monkeys.
To Zurich, Switz.
