MAMMAL SURVEY OF INDIA. 725 



APPENDIX. 



The following specimens were received with this collection, but were 

 obtained in other districts and sent m by various members of the Society, 

 all of whom we wish to thank. It is of the greatest help to have speci- 

 mens sent in during the different months of the year as the survey 

 collector only obtains his skins within a limited period, thus it is often 

 difficult to know how much to allow for seasonal changes in the colour and 

 texture of the fur.
