'' This rat is common at Kudia, where I found it always among rocks ; it is 

 evidently fond of climbing for I found little piles of droppings on the tops 

 of large boulders ; there were also small collections of droppings in hollows 

 under the rocks. It is doubtless gregarious, for where one is caught it is 

 safe to expect to find others. Its food consists of a good deal of grass seed ; 

 all my specimens were taken at an altitude of about 2,000 feet ; during my 

 first camp above Junagadh, I was trapping on somewhat similar ground at 

 about 700 feet, but made no captures and saw no signs of the rat." — C.A.C.

"From reports was xmdoubtedly common near Junagadh. Taken from a 

 large jowari field, some in the open, others from under some wood stacks. 

 In Bajana it was generally found in the beds of dried up tanks, rather 

 difhcult to trap. A wounded mungoose took refuge in a burrow occupied 

 by a large female Gunomys kok ; I went away for a spade, and later, after 

 digging some distance, found the rat in a dying condition, it having already 

 evicted the mungoose." — C.A.O.

" In other districts I had trapped, a fair number of this species on ground 

 identical with that of the Sasan cultivation ; I can confidently assert that 

 this rat was not in Sasan. The single specimen taken at Kudia was secured 

 on a grass covered bank, far from the cultivation. At Dhrangadhra it was 

 more partial to the Kora Jar bushes, and in the early evening I observed it 

 feeding on the leaves of this bush. The presence of G. ellioti may be de- 

 tected by short pathways in the grass or under bushes, the pathways 

 are generally confined to the shelter of bushes or hedges and cannot be 

 mistaken for the well-worn straight tracks of Tatera indica, which may run 

 under the hedges or across the open ground." — C. A. 0.
