JuNA BowLi is a village which was deserted some hundred years ago, and 

 only heaps of stones and the remnants of walls now exist to show where the 

 village once stood ; it lies about S. W. of Dhrangadhra and is on the edge 

 of a narrow belt of soft sand which follows the course of a small river the 

 water of which is quite brackish. This sandy tract broadens out in places 

 and is dotted with low bushes and tufts of grass, but many parts are quite 

 barren. A bush called Kora Jar grows here and constitutes part of the 

 food of small rodents. 



With the exception Meriones Jmrriance all the rats, mice and shrews be- 

 tween the Nos. 2512 and 2583 were trapped among the ruins of the village. 

 There were no Bats here or Flying-foxes. 



Satapur lies north of Dhrangadhra and quite near the Runn of Cutch. 

 The subsoil here is all sandstone and the surface soil is of poor quality, shal- 

 low and very firm, a little bajri and cotton are cultivated, the rest of the dis- 

 trict being covered with short grass, cactus, babul and a bush which has the 

 appearance of a miniature babul, and bears the vernacular name of khijada. 

 The country near Satapur is gently undulating, there are no hills ; there is 

 a good stream of fresh water. Hares appear to be scarce, and the same may 

 be said with regard to the carnivora. Porcupines occur, though not common. 

 MuLi is the principal town of the small State of Muli, and lies about 

 20 miles W. oc Wadhwan. The surroundings are flat to undulating and 

 almost treeless. Over the sandstone the soil is good, producing very fine 

 cotton, which constitutes almost the entire cultivation of this State. The 

 rainfall is rather below the Kathiawar average. 



Rising above Wadhwan, a river flows by the town of Muli and is bordered 

 on each side by belts of soft sand in which I found the desert forms. This 

 sand is either bare of cover or has in places a very thin growth of wiry 

 grass and occasional bushes. 



Bajana State is a small State occupying part of the narrow neck of sandy 

 ground in the extreme N. E. of Kathiawar. Two camps were made^ the 

 first at Moti Mojiti, some 8 or 10 miles from Viramgam, and the second at 

 Sadla within a few miles of Patri and the Run of Outch. 



SiHOK, Bhavjstagak State. Owing to unforeseen circumstances, I was 

 able to devote only a few days to collecting here. My thanks are due to 

 H. H. the Maharaja Sahib for great assistance. 



A camp was made at Sihor, 14 miles from Bhavnagar, Rising from a flat 

 plain is a large range of lofty hills of igneous trap and occasional sand- 

 stone ; generally speaking the hills are almost barren, but a few are clothed 

 with heavy babul and other scrub jungle. With the exception of nilgai, 

 hares and porcupines, all mammals are scarce." 



The Collection consists of 1,068 specimens, spread over 44 species in 34 

 genera. Rodents are especially well represented, Dipodillus nanus and 

 Grypomys yleadowi (the latter consisting of a fine series of 75 specimens) 

 are new to the Survey.

 they are fed and held sacred." — 0. A. 0.
