MAMMAL SURVEY. 



The Secretary aiiiioimcetl that he had just received an intimation that 

 the lioyal Society had been good enough to sanction a grant of £i'5 

 towards the survey of the Mammalian fauna of India, Burma and Ceylon 

 organized by the Society. The Government of Madras had also kindly 

 promised the sun\ of Ifs. :?,500 towards this survey. It had been found 

 that the area to be covered was so enormous that the survej" would, with 

 oidy two collectors, take niucli longer than was at first estimated and it 

 became necessary therefore to obtain a further Rs. 30,000 or Es. 40,01)0 in 

 ■order that the survey might be thoroughly carried out, and it was hoped 

 that ]nembers and others would send in subscriptions to enable the Society 

 to accomplish this scientific work.
