 spirit in which they are worked out and observed, protection 

 may be said to have reached a high state of perfection in the 

 Ootacamvnid Hills.

 rules a much easier business than is likely to obtain in areas 

 which are only visited by occasional sportsmen, who have not 

 even the interest of the local resident officials, who are in a way 

 permanent in the locality, in the upkeep of the head of game, 

 and therefore clamour for free shooting, equal rights, etc. 



To some extent the lead of the Nilgiri Game Association has 

 been followed by the Forest Department, but at present apparently 

 only in a small degree. 



In the Southern Circle the only Sanctuaries existing in 1906 

 were situated in the Nilgiri District as follows : —
