Jan. 13 The place is about 300 miles N of Calcutta at about 7000 ft. in the foothills of the Himalayas. Very cold there now - snow. Can reach area by sail or bus from base I met First by joining to met. Base can be by plane or train. Dr. Dart said that along the south base of the Himalayas is a strip of jungle, preserved because area is plagued with malaria and alluvium is so porous outflowing streams disappear in ground and emerge to south. Area is unsuited to rice planting. In this jungle strip are tigers, a wild ox, elephant, etc. When I asked Weatherby for name of key man he mentioned Dr. Kirpal, secretary in Ministry of Education.
