This Collection was made by Mr. S. H. Prater for the Mammal 

 Survey. The area dealt with is very restricted, comprising about 

 10 square miles. The locality is the small town of Kambam and a 

 Forest Hut and clearing 10 miles away by a Forest Road, on top 

 of a precipitous hill, i.e., the High Wavy Mountain, 



The area is described by Fr, Blatter elsewhere in this Journal 

 (Vol. XXV., p. 290) from' which I extract the following :— 



The lower slopes of the mountain are well covered with deciduous 

 forest above which is a belt of bare, rocky grass land. 



The top of the hill consists of an undulating plateau, at about 

 5,100', perhaps 15 square miles in area which is entirely covered 

 with a continuous dense evergreen forest which runs down in long 

 irregular shaped masses for a considerable distance into the valleys 

 on either side. 



The very great proportion of the specimens were taken at 

 Kambam, and though of interest from the point of view of distri- 

 bution, e.g., in the case of Leggadilla dva, there is nothing new to 

 the list of the Survey. 



Among the 20 specimens from the mountain however are two 

 small animals which seem to be rather young'; iinfortiinately only 

 one skull accompanied the two skins, and still more unfortunately 

 this was destroyed in cleaning and it is now impossible to even place 

 the specimens generically with any confidence. 



The following in alcohol accompanied the other specimens :—
