7. Srimangala. — Altitude 2,782 feet, small forest village situated 

 on the eastern slopes of the Brahmagiri hills, which rise to a height 

 of over 5,000 feet. I found some most interesting changes in the 

 fauna to the east and west of this range which practically forms the 

 boundary between the evergreen and deciduous forests in south 

 Coorg. Surrounding jungle deciduous, very largely intermixed 

 with bamboo. 



8. Huvinakadu JSstate — Kutta. — Altitude 2,843 feet. A coffee 

 estate on the borders of the Wynaad about 8 miles to the south of 

 Siimanagala — hilly country surrounded chiefly by deciduous and 

 bamboo jungle. 



9. Nagarhole. — Altitude 2,600 feet. A small forest settlement 

 in the extreme south of Coorg. In the middle of a large deciduous 

 and bamboo jungle. Lantana undergrowth very thick in manj^ 

 places. Situated along the borders of the Wjmaad and within a few 

 miles of the Mysore boundary. 



Country undulating, but less hilly than in most parts of Coorg. 



During my stay in this camp Mr. H. Tireman, I. F. S., conser- 

 vator of Forests, was kind enough to lend me elephants as well as 

 providing me with every local assistance. If looked after for a few 

 years this district would become one of finest game spots in South- 

 ern India. 



The following species were not obtained : — 



Simia sihnus. — This monkey occurs on the Ghats on the western 

 borders of Coorg and in South Kanara. The boundary between 

 North and South Kanara is the northern limit of its range, at which 

 point it is probabl}^ only a straggler. Said to become numerous in 

 South Malabar and Travancore. 



Pteropus giganteus. — Seldom, if ever, found in heavy forest coun- 

 try (at least in Southern India). Hardly a resident of Coorg, 

 although said to be occasionally seen in the more open country in the 

 extreme north-east borders, becoming plentiful in the more open 

 part of Southern Mysore. 



Vernacular names : — Bowlu-hukki. Bawali-nurrasi. 



* Hesperoptenus tickelli. — A specimen of this species in spirit was 

 obtained by Mr. Graham after I left Coorg but did not arrive with 

 the main collection. 



Felis viverrina. — Doubtfully recorded from Coorg. If occurring 

 at all it is probably a rare straggler from the coast, being a dweller 

 in flat swampy country, rarely, if ever, found at any altitude, chiefly 

 frequenting coastal swamps and estuaries. Said to occur in the 

 neighbourhood of Mangalore (South Kanara) also recorded from the 

 coastal districts of North Kanara, although probably more plentiful 



* Unfortunately this bat along with some others which Mr. Grraham had kindly 

 collected after Mr. Shortridg'e left ,was spoilt in the spirit in which they were 

 being preserved — N. B. K.
