He said I should contact Mr. Hemayeen Kabi, Minister of Scientific Research and Cultural Affairs (TE - 33-535) to arrange for talks on socioic trading. Das suggests that we should avoid such casual approaches. Most will be useful if timed but it is difficult to brush off a friendly person. Mr. Das Gupta wants me to meet him for dinner but I will have to decline. About 5:00 p.m. I wandered about the countryside beyond the hotel grounds looking for birds and other wildlife. Tried "squeaking" and attracted about a dozen birds of several species along an overgrown fence. Near a watercourse, found a colony of Indian monkeys. feeding on refuse on an embankment near a housing unit. A young Indian, B. Dhanushkodi, who works at the hotel (over) joined me and we walked into a wooded patch where we found several species of birds. When a dog barked, the monkeys tore to the trees. My guide told me that the children feed the monkeys and that the animals have become quite tame. They came to within 5 ft. of me when I crouched and moved my fingers as though I had something in my hand. One large individual was pointed out as the chief. Dhanushkodi said the animals are protected
