REMARKS ON ANIMALS MENTIONED 

 IN THE WORK. 



LION (Leo gujratensis). The Lion of India is, I 

 believe, confined exclusively to the province of Kattiawar 

 and the borders of Guzerat and Rajpootana. The 

 " Bengal Lion " is referred to in some works on natural 

 history, but I am not aware that it is found anywhere in

 size and appearance to its African brother. Tigers are,

 which any roving lion may make his appearance. In 

 Kattiawar, the district they most affect, tigers are un- 

 known, though panthers are common. 



TIGKR (Felis tic/ris). Found throughout the hills and 

 jungles of India. Full-grown specimens vary considerably 

 in size, colour, and markings, but are considered to be of 

 one species. 



LEOPARD, PANTHER, CIIEETUR ( Felis leopardus, 

 Leopa/rdud varius). There is considerable confusion 

 in the use of these names among sportsmen in India,

 cats, besides such rare animals as the snow leopard ol the
