 The Cutch Rock-Rat. 

 ( Synonymy in No. 3.) 

 (J 3, $1, Gajhundi ; J 2, 5 2, Singar, Gaya.

(53) GOLUNDA ELLIOXI, Gr. 



The Indian Bush-Rat. 



(Synonymy in No. 1.) 



S 1, Pareshnath. 



{See also Reports Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 15.) 

 " Taken on a steep rocky slope, an unusual environment, as G. ellioti is 

 not a climber. It must be very rare on this side of India because at each 

 camp many traps were set and I should have taken this rat if occurring in 

 any numbers." — C.A.C. 



(54) Lepus KXiriCAXJDATUs, Geoff. 



The Bengal Hare. 



(Synonymy in No. 15.) 



(J 8, 54, Daltonganj ; J 2, $ 3, Singar, Gaya ; 

 (S 1, Midnapur ; $ 1, Salbani. 

 These do not differ markedly on the average from the Kumaon specimens 

 and may, I think, be now c )n£idently accepted as true ntjicaudatus. 



" Except at Daltonganj and Singar, nowhere very common. Not observed 

 in the Santara Range, Singbhum. Rare near Midnapur and Salbani." — C.A.C.

(56) Manis ckassicaudata, Geoff. 



llie Indian Pangolin . 



(Synonymy in No. 3.) 



5 1, Chaibassa. 



{See also Reports Nos. 6, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 18.) 



" The specimen obtained at Chaibassa was presented to me alive. When 

 alarmed, the animal rolls itself into a ball with the head inside and the 

 extremely muscular tail wrapped round the body, this means of protection 

 is so efficient that a strong man can with difficulty unroll the animal. This 

 Pangolin, when placed on a camp table, crawled over the edge, lowered 

 itself by keeping the terminal part of the tail fiat on the table ; a clumsy 

 hold on the framework was then obtained with the fore feet, until the tail 

 was brought down to grip the table leg and the pangolin lowered itself to 

 the ground. As the fore toes are doubled up under the feet when walking, 

 I imagine that the ascent of steep places is performed backwards, the pre- 

 hensile tail being used to haul the pangolin up banks or rocks. " — C.A.C.
