508 Capt. Hakdwicke's Description of a large Species of Rat. 
The bite of this animal is considered dangerous, and an in- 
stance of its effects came under my notice while at the military 
station of Futtehgurh, in the Dooab, where an European in the 
Honourable East India Company's artillery died under a con- 
firmed hydrophobia in about twelve days after having been bitten 
by a rat. This opinion I rest upon the judgment of the medical 
gentleman who attended the unfortunate man subsequently to 
the accident.
