C.K. Journal 2 March 1962 Nr Tanakpur, U.P., India Finally I found that truck had broken tie rod only; & got driver to back up a few feet so that our little car could get past. So on back to Tanakpur in dark. | Area cleaner, animals healthier, air cooler, all greener, than at Mailani. || Trappers had taken about 60 monkeys in the hills here before today, starting Feb. 26, & these still held in bamboo cages. We had brought the 26 back in about 5 sacks today. Supta told me that about [illegible] had been taken at Palia, on railroad above Mailani and Kureja, & there were being held at Mailani. | Shots of cages at Tanakpur, so animals crowded! 3 March 1962. Prepared to send monkeys to Delhi. More than 60 held, some since Feb. 26, in bamboo cages. One group 9+ cages in roofless remains of a shack about 12' square, when all in sun until noon, & some long after. Done thrown into cages only food; mired with excrement, urine, on ground be- low cages. One & nearly dead; not removed until noon, at my insistence. Another had shell 2 again. Exposed; released at my request. Many had bad cuts. I was told 20 more caught one of 2 March; these were kept in sacks until about 4 p.m. today, when new cages secured; these animals sweet-soaked, & very thirsty. Wasted most of day waiting for Supta's car, which had gone 10 miles for cages. Wanted to go to Corbett Park; Dhawan had said this simple & easily done from Tanak- pur. But Supta & other did not know the place or how to get there. We hired a truck, loaded 131 monkeys in 13 cage, & drove through night to Delhi. About 12 stops for fill station and road controls, & several more for tea,
