tour in Mysore, with a view to acquiring specimens illus-

tiger was starved, and then enticed into a long box, in which 
there was no room for it to turn round, baited at the far 
end with meat. 
A short journey by train brought me to Channapatna, 
between which place and Bangalore is the town of Closepet, 
where I left some of my staff to collect butterflies, lizards, 
snakes, &c., in the surrounding jungle country. At Chan- 
napatna there is a ruined fort, and a big bazar in which 
several industries and manufactures are carried out. A 
manufacture for which Channapatna is celebrated is that 
of steel-wire for musical instruments (Vinas, &c.) ; and 
The Madrai! Museum possesses an Albino Bandicoot. An Albino Nil- 
giri black Eobin was sliot on the Nilgiris a few years ago.
