Oil completion of his work in the Bhutan Duars, reported in 

 No. 27 (J., B. N. H. S., XXV., p. G3, 1917), Baptista, the 

 Societjr's Collector, moved on to Kalimpong, where Dr. Sutherland 

 had consented to supervise his movements. The present collection 

 represents his work there during live months, June-October, 191G. 



Unfortunately no notes on the topography are available, but 

 I gather from the Gazetteer that Kalimpong is a tract in the Darji- 

 ling District, situated at about 27^' N. Lat. and 8 8 ''30' E. Long., 

 east of the Tista River, west of Ni-chu and Di-chu, and bounded 

 by Bhutan on the north. The tract is made up of a series of steep 

 ridges and the valleys bet\A'eeii, and is largely under trees. The area 

 is just over 400 stj. miles, of which slightly more than half is 

 Reserved Forest, situated on the tops of the ridges and the bottoms 

 of the valleys, i.e., above 5,000' and below 2,000'. 



Ilie fauna seems to be identical with that of Darjiling and the
