PROGRESS OF THE MAMMAL SURVEY.

away near one of the Salt posts in the Belgaum District. Through 

 the kindness of the Range Officer of that beat, he was able to visit 

 it and stay there a couple of days obtaining some bats from the 

 cave. These bats included three specimens of the new species 

 Nyctinomus wroughtoni, described and figured in the present number. 

 The cave happened to be in the Belgaum District, about 40 miles 

 away from the nearest part of the Dhai-war District Mr. Shortridge 

 collected in, and so as he was not working in that direction he 

 did not come across it, and even had he worked in that district, it 

 is quite possible that he might not have visited the particular cave 

 and come across this bat. 



It is hoped that this explanation will remove any objection that 

 some members may feel, and that the co-operation of all members 

 of the Society may be obtained, as it is only with the co-operation 

 and help of members that this Survey can result in success.
