We now conclude this effort at a Conspectus of the Indian Sori- 

 cinje, by soliciting aid from all (probably not many persons in 

 India) who take any interest in the subject. It will suffice if spe- 

 cimens could be sent in spirit to the museum of the Society (if 

 disembowelled, and the abdominal cavity cleaned of blood, so much 

 the better for our present purpose, except with regard to the very 

 diminutive species, examples of which are particularly acceptable) ; 

 such being far preferable to badly prepared skins for being after- 

 wards set up as stuffed specimens, besides permitting of much more 

 satisfactory examination of their differential characters ; and it is 

 further desirable that three or four adults of each kind should be 

 thus transmitted, to supply our collection with skeleton and stuffed 

 specimens, in addition to at least one to be retained entire in spirit. 

 The micro-mammalia, as they have been designated (as Bats, Shrews, 

 Mice, &c), require to be thus amply represented in museums, for 

 their specific distinctions to be rightly understood in many cases : 

 and the chaos of Indian Murid^:, in particular, will never be re- 

 duced to systematic order, with the synonymes correctly adjusted, 

 until such a tolerably complete collection of them from all quarters 

 has been brought together.

Since the publication of Mr. Walter Elliot's letter of the 30th 

 August, 1851, in the 20th volume of the Society's Journal, p. 607, an- 

 nouncing, that the lists of Upanishads, as received among the 

 Telingana Pandits contained many, not to be found in Colebrooke's 

 or Weber's lists, and that copies of them were yet procurable, I have 

 received from him a complete set of all those Upanishads the exist- 

 ence of which we learn only from his list. Written in the Telingana 

 character, they are now in the course of being transcribed into the
