Stebbins, R. 1963 Cocoa Trip 26 New Delhi Jan. 13 scrum. The children attracted the monkeys by making a cooing or hooting sound and in this way called them over for photographing. The animals took food directly from the hand. When frightened into the trees some climbed to a height of 50 ft. Mr. Dhanushkodi said the wild patch was protected for the sake of the monkeys. Tameness of the wild birds is further indication of the regard these Indians have for animal life. Repeatedly small song birds fed within 8 or 10 ft. of me at a flock of some 50 sparrows has been seen for several days now alternately moving from a tree to the ground in the living area of one of the thatch roof shelters N of the hotel. The birds fly up into the tree only when they are nearly stepped on. Chasers sit on lamp posts 15 ft. overhead and the gray- back crow works garbage within 12 ft. of gaping children. A hoopoe foraging on the ground 15 ft. from me as I filmed it with telephoto. Tameness also applies somewhat to small mammals. I saw a weasel-like creature in a gully at a distance of 8 ft. and a dorso-ventrally flattened shipworm- like animal at 15 ft. The ease with which people can get close to animals should make possible effective use of field observations in school science studies.
