and rated. She is inclined to bully small dogs, even those she knows 

 well, especially of the weaker sex. 



Her intelligence is considerable and though still shy of men and of 

 strangers she shows affection for ine and follows me well both on foot 

 and when riding. 



As an instance of her retentive memory the following anecdote 

 may be of interest. When she was quite a small puppy a rather short 

 tempered fox-terrier was sent me to take care of during the summer. 

 This dog attacked her on one occasion and bit off the tip of her ear. 

 Several months later when she had grown to nearly full size the dog 

 and his owner were walking round the Kennels, when the latter asked 

 me to let ' Jungly ' loose. Without thinking I did so and she at once 

 savaged the little dog, which she undoubtedly remembered, and was with 

 difficulty prevented from killing him. Since then she has always been 

 suspicious of white dogs, and is generally inclined to attack dogs of that 

 colour, though usually indifferent to others unless excited or aggrieved 

 herself. 



From regular feeding and the care taken of her * Jungly ' hab 

 giown a good deal heavier than the " wild specimen " killed this year in 

 Gilgit and sent to the Museum. Her coat also is not quite so dark, but 

 in all other respects she appeared to me identical when they were 

 compared. Her weight and measurements are as follows : — 

 Diviensioiis- Head and body 43 inches, tail without hair 13 j, with 

 hair 14f ; Tarsus and hind foot, anterior aspect = 7 inches, posterior 

 aspect = 9 inches ; Height at shoulder 24 inches ; round skull and jawfe 

 in front of ears over hair 18 inches. Weight = about 60 lbs. 



VII. — New species of Indian Hyraenoptera. — By Majok C. G. Nuksl;. 

 [Read 6th November, 1901.] 



J venture to send descriptions of some new species of Apidce, whiclj 

 neither Mr. P. Cameron nor I have been able to identify with any des- 

 cribed species. These are a portion of my collection of Hymenoptera 

 made during the past three or four years, some of which have already 

 been described by Colonel Bingham and Mr. Cameron, and the latter is 

 still engaged in working out the remainder. I obtained altogether some 

 450 species, counting only the families dealt with by Colonel Bingham 

 in his H^menoptera, Vol. I of the Fauna of British India Series, and 

 of these nearly a fourth appear to be hitherto undescribed*
