Of rare cold weather visitants shot or seen L have received no information. 
I did not notice any myself, 
As far as I can make out, there were twenty-eight sportsmen shooting this 
season, and they were out 473 days. The amount of small game killed was 
4.022 head, showing the poor total of 8°50 head per gun per diem. The two 
largest bags, made of snipe in one day, by three guns, were 104 and 103 head in 
November. 
Small game killed during the season— 
Full Snipe. Jack Snipe.

I have to thank the sportsmen who have kept records of their bags and 
who have kindly sent them tome, I only hope that more will do so in the 
coming season. I shall be happy to send any one game books gratis for that 
purpose if they will apply to me. 
The season of 1892-93 is the first in which any sort of record has been 
kept of game shot within a radius of forty miles of Bombay, and although from 
inadequate infcrmation it can only be called “approximate,” still, if it is 
kept up year after year, comparisons can ke made, and the causes shown 
why one season is better or worse than another, This will be of interest both 
to sportsmen and naturalists.
