THE PROPOSED INTRODUCTION OF GAME INTO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 



OF BOMBAY. 



Mr. H, Littledale, of Baroda, in bringing forward his proprsal, said .'-*» 

 " I beg to suggest that an attempt should be made to introduce the Chukcr into thia 

 part of India. Such an effort would certainly succeed on the AraVellis and Vindhyas, 

 along the big rivers. Again, the Painted Partridge is our only Southern-Bombay 

 bird; the Black Partridge, afar finer bird, ought to take advantage of tho R.M. Railway 

 and settle in our grass birs. He flohrishes on the hot grassy plains of Rajpootaua, 

 amid the tamarisks of the Indus, and along the banks of the Jhelum in Cashmere ; 

 any climate seems to suit him, Wet or dry.
