6,000 feet. Monkeys are particularly plentiful in the ''Bhaba" where I 

 found them associating sometimes with Saugars, The two species separate 

 in the evening, in fact when settling down for the night, the monkeys seem 

 much disturbed by the intrusion of Saugars. 



I came suddenly upon a number of monkeys sitting in the open, when 

 they immediately made off, leaving a young one which though able to look 

 after itself, . remained behind screaming for help. The mother returned 

 and after carrying her offspring to a safe distance, shook and cuffed 

 it severely. In a large colony of Macaques at Ratighat I noticed a wide 

 variety in the colouring of faces and callosities, ranging from dusky yellow 

 in immature individuals to brilliant red in old males. " — 0. A. C.

''There were several thousands" of these bats in a long tunnel through 

 which flowed a canal. The bats, driven towards me by men carrying 

 lanterns, came on in a mass, their screeches and the beating of their wings 

 filled the tunnel with an almost deafening noise. I had no difficulty in 

 filling several butterfly nets with specimens both male and female, most 

 of the latter being heavy with young." — C. A. C.
