BOMBAY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 



AN APPEAL. 



The undersigned would be very grateful to any member of our 

 Society who would assist him to procure python's eggs for scientific 

 investigation. Should an opportunity present itself — the incubating 

 season is I believe in June and July — what I would request is that 

 the female be left incubating, and that an egg be withdrawn from 

 her every second day with as little disturbance as possible, and that 

 the eggs be labelled showing date, and then transferred to spirit. 

 As pythons are very prolific it might be possible if the dam were 

 discovered early in incubation to obtain a complete series of eggs 

 showing the gradual development of the embryo up to the stage of 

 hatching. 



I am prepared to pay up to Rs. 30 for spirit and as a reward to the 

 native who can be prevailed upon to carry out the above suggestion, 

 if any member will act on my behalf.
