c. Koford 37 Journal 14 March 1962 Singapore, Malaya, held up high except when attacked by by others + reacting aggressi vely. In general Singapore well-manicured, with many good buildings + signs of military establishment. But no dense Chinese hustle as in Hong Kong. Rather a dull town. On Rochor(?) Road? one street in market area we visited 3 animal shops. There held cockatoo, lories, finches, parrots, mynahs, + other birds in crowded dirty cages. Also jungle cat, civet, a deer, about 3 gibbons, 10+ M. nemestrius, 10+ M. mieu, squirrel, + others. Poor dark dirty conditions. Never utan H. said: Had home occasionally an orang, or siamang, [illegible]. Chinese dinner with Harrison, then took train back to Kuala. Oxville 15 March 1962. Spent most of day with Oxville Elliott, + visited Tupaia area in Lake Barong. I saw at least two brief- ly. One ran 10'+ on open lawn at forest edge. People in park an obstacle to study there. / Arrows arranged thru Col. Baker for Lim Boo-Liat to obtain + send to me some Tupaias, in Puerto Rico. We will try several in one metal box this time, via Pacific, or jet. Boo-Liat seems to be best man for knowing where Tupaia has been trapped. He now is working on key to lists, + distribution + ecol- ogical notes, for Malaya. Also working on a better problem. / Had dinner with Mr Cluer, + John Wyatt-Smith. Last is with Dept. of Forests, + authority on Malay trees, but much interested in wildlife. He is said he had pet dark-banded gibbon; these occur in northern Malaya. He also said there were orang-utans in North Borneo, + that he had forest dept. friends there who could help a biologist. He also thought Bako Nell Park in Sarawak was unsuited to the ing- establishment of orang utans. Seems well acquainted with Mt. Tupaia
