 The major part of Capt. Gosse's collection was dealt with in 

 the last Report, the balance here discussed was made in the Nilgiris 

 during June and July, 1918, and considering the very short time 

 available seems to be fairly representative. It is to be hoped that 

 when the Survey collecting parties are reorganised a further 

 investigation of this area may be made, as it promises to be very 

 interesting. 



Capt. Gosse's collection here amounted to only 113 specimens, 

 representing 28 forms in 22 Genera. 



A Funambulus from Kotagiri proves to be new, otherwise the 

 retaking of Leggada famvla is the most striking result of the 

 collection. This species was origiiaally taken by Mr. Charles Gray 

 at Coonoor, in 1897, and was described by Bonhote in this Journal 

 (Vol. XII, p. 99, 1899) and has since been known only by the 

 type specimen.
