32 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST. SOCIETY, Vol. XXII, 



i 



enumerated by him 32 were represented in the Dharwar Collection 

 and 11 more are included in the present one, leaving only 13 of the 

 species mentioned by Elliot unrepresented. The bulk of these are 

 large animals, many being mere visitants, e.g., the Elephant, and 

 I think Mr. Shortridge is to be congratulated on his success. 

 There is one species, however, viz., the leopard cat {Felis benga- 

 lensis) of which specimens are badly wanted and I would 

 appeal to Members residing in these Districts to try and obtain 

 specimens. 



The thanks of the Society for helping our collector in Kanara 

 are specially due to Mr. T. E. Bell, I.F.S., Mr. G. Monteath,I.O.S., 

 and Mr. W. E. Coplestone, I.F.S.

 Irom that work.
