 ( Tansa is very great. Fish are abundant in Tansa and also numerous in Vehar, 



" but there are few to be seen in Tulsi. I observed that while the water from

 "that it might be well to consult the Bombay Natural History Society in 



" regard to the Tulsi lake, and the fish it might be advisable to bring into the 

 lake from Tansa. Having the Natural History Society, advantage might be 



(< taken to secure the assistance of scientific men in the conservancy of the lake,"
