MINOR CONTRIBDTIONS 

 From Mr. H. B. Peirce, 

 PAPERS READ. 

 " Bombay Ducks from a Sportsman's Point of View, " by Colonel H. D. 

 Olivier, R.E. 



A very interesting lecture was given by Colonel Olivier on the above 

 subject in which he i ointed out from the sptcimens of ducks in the Society's 

 collection, the distinguishing characteristics of each species, and gave some 

 account of his experiences in duck-shooting in the Bombay Presidency. 



Mr. E. H. Aitken read a paper written by Mr. S. M. Fraser, I.C.S., on 

 " Tiger-netting in Mysore," in which he observes that it is probable that in 

 spite of what Sanderson and others have written, there is still a good deal of 

 misconception about tiger-netting as pursued in Mysore, which is a genuine 

 native sport well worth witnessing by any one interested in wild beasts and 

 their ways. 



The paper will appear in full in the Society's Journal.
