" The several species of Lec/yada trapped at Sivasamudram may have 

 been plentiful enough, but I found it impossible to get a satisfactory 

 series of any of them, as the enormous numbers of Cremnomys, in the 

 district invariably got into the traps to the exclusion of everything else."

" More plentiful in Kolar town than in any place I have yet visited, 

 also numerous in Bangalore. A number of the specimens obtained at 

 Bangalore, had the hair on the back curiously worn away. I think it is 

 due to those particular specimens having made their tunnels between 

 bricks and hard masonry which they had been unable to enlarge sufficiently. 

 The reddish hairs on the backs of many bandicoots are probably due to 

 insufficient colouring matter in hairs that are continually being worn 

 away."— G. C. S.
