particularly indebted to the late Drs. M. B. Mirza of AMU, Olive Reddick of
USEFI in New Delhi, Carl Frey of Ohio University, and Drs. M. Rafiq Siddiqi

by grants from the NIH and National Geographic Society to Johns Hopkins
University and the University of Colorado. More recently, we have been
supported by the Indo-US Primate Project, directed by Prof. S. M. Mohnot
of Jodhpur, and financed by the Division of International Conservation of
the US Fish and Wildlife Service through the office of David Ferguson,
and the Ministry of Environment and Forests of the Government of India.
For cooperation and support, we are indebted to the late Drs. F. B. Bang,
Director of the Johns Hopkins International Center for Medical Research and
Training in Calcutta, the late Drs. M. L. Roonwal and K.K. Tiwari, Directors
of the Zoological Survey of India, and R. K. Lahiri, Director of the Calcutta
Zoological Gardens, and Dr. R. P. Mukherjee and Dr. J. R. B. Alfred, former

to Drs. T. W. Simpson, K. V. Shah, and C. Wallace of the Johns Hopkins
ICMRT in Calcutta, and Dr. I. Malik, founder of the conservation organiza-
tion, Vatavaran, in New Delhi. In New Delhi, we also appreciate the support
and consultative advice of many science officers and administrative staff in
the US Embassy, including D. Johnson, R. Whitney, and A. Saxena of the
India International Centre, and innumerable local, District, and Regional
Forest Officers in the State and National Governments of India. For field
assistance, we are further indebted to Drs. D. G. Lindburg, C. Louch, Phyllis

these field studies a pleasure in the sometimes difficult climates and terrain
