, bulk: 1982 - 19831982 -- 19830.5 Linear FeetengAjith Kumar's field notes from 1982-83, written on Braille paper (sourced from a church in the US, since resources were limited, and it was good non-blotting paper). The notes are for studies on how four species of tree living mammals (Bonnet monkeys, lion-tailed macaques, Nilgiri langurs and giant squirrels) co-exist and compete for same resources in the Anamalai Hills, Tamil Nadu.
Test annotation: Ajith Kumar also said in his oral history interview that during his PhD, he and his colleagues did not have much resources and needed an inexpensive solution. That was another reason that the Braille paper was used for field notes since it was the closest, cheapest thing available.
