MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

About 10 years ago I saw two hedgehogs, the property of some school 

 boys in Borsad in the Kaira District. I did not enquire where they had 

 found them, but as the boys had never been out of their village, it is pre- 

 sumable they had found them locally. 



A friend of mine who lived in Gogho for seven years told me of seeing 

 hedgehogs stealing about on the ground in front of the verandah of his 

 bungalow. At one time, when he was sitting out in the open reading in the 

 evenings, he watched one coming evening after evening, apparently 

 attracted by the light of his lamp. 



In October last I went on board a boat of the Coast-guard and Customs 

 Service when she lay at anchor here. As we sat talking in the cabin, 

 a hedgehog began to move about. On making inquiries about it, I found 

 it had been procured at Gogho, and that it was a great pet with the 

 few Kalasis on board.

The bison had squatted in a narrow gorge trusting to our party passing 

 him, but two terriers coming up behind jumped him after we had passed ;
