Dear Sir, Library, East India House, Feb. 12, 1849. 



B. H. Hodgson, Esq., late British resident at Nepal, who is now 

 zealously pursuing his researches into the natural history of the 

 upper provinces of India, has lately presented to the museum of 

 the East India Company, a small collection of mammalia from 

 the neighbourhood of Sikim and Darjeling, and two birds from 

 Tibet ; and (Mr. Hodgson) being desirous that a concise notice 

 of them may be communicated to the public without delay, until 

 he shall have an opportunity of publishing a more detailed de- 

 scription of the new species, I request you, in his name, to insert 

 the following list, with a few remarks, into an early number of 

 the ' Annals and Magazine of Natural History.^ 



Yours faithfully, 

 Richard Taylor, Esq. Thomas Horsfield.
