ZOOLOGY. 



[Part II. 



and collections made up to the period of my leaving the colony 

 in 1850. It has been considered expedient to exclude a few 

 individuals which have not had the advantage of a direct com- 

 parison with authentic specimens, either at Calcutta or in 

 Encfland. This will account for the omission of a number 

 which have appeared in other catalogues, but of which many, 

 though ascertained to exist, have not been submitted to this 

 rigorous process of identification. 



The greater portion of the species of mammals and birds con- 

 tained in these lists will be found, with suitable references to 

 the most accurate descriptions, in the admirable catalogue of 

 the collection at the India House, now in course of publication 

 under the care of Dr. Horsfield. This work cannot be too highly 

 extolled, not alone for the scrupulous fidelity with which the 

 description of each species is referred to its first discoverer, but 

 also for the pains which have been taken to elaborate synonymes 

 and to collate from local periodicals and other sources, little 

 accessible to ordinary inquirers, such incidents and traits as are 

 calculated to illustrate characteristics and habits.
