V.—Names of Birds &0, IN FOUR OF THE ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES 
or WestERN Benaat, by V. Batu, Esq. 
This paper gives a list of names of a great number of birds 
and other animals in four of the languages which are spoken 
by the different aboriginal tribes in Western Bengal. A com- 
parison of the names shews that, as a rule, there is a great 
difference in the designations of wild animals in the various 
languages noticed, while on the contrary the names of the do- 
mesticated animals are, as in most other languages, derived from 
the same root. This paper will be published in the Philological 
part of the Journal for the current year.
