BOMBAY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
NOTICE TO MEMBERS. 
Ow1ne to the popularity of the subject, the Committee have resolved 
to publish further illustrations of the Indian Ducks in connection with 
the paper by Mr. E.C. Stuart Baker on “ Indian Ducks and their 
Allies ” which was concluded in No. 2, Vol. XIII, of the Journal. 
The following have been put in hand :— 
Plate No. X1—The Gadwall (Chaulelasmus streperus). 
9 95. AXLI—The Pintail (Dajila acuta). 
» » ALII—The Garganey or Blue-wing Teal (Querquedula 
circle)» 
» » AXLV—The Pochard or Dun-Bird (Myroca ferina). 
and they will appear in subsequent numbers of the Journal. The drake 
and duck will both be figured in these plates. 
The coloured drawings have been done by Mr. G.E. Lodge from 
Indian specimens in the Hume collection at the British Museum, 
South Kensington. Mr. Ogilvie Grant, of the British Museum, and 
Mr. H. Comber, the Secretary of our ‘ Bird and Mammal’ section, 
have kindly supervised the sketches, 
The expense of the coloured illustrations is so heavy that the Com- 
mittee hope that members wiil try and induce their friends to join 
the Society, and so enable them to continue publishing these plates 
which are so greatly appreciated.
