The elephant and crocodile specimens in this Museum 
are referred to in the chapters in this report devoted to those 
animals. 
The undermentioned specimens in the lofty and well 
lighted exhibition galleries should be specially noted : — 
(i) Skull and horns of a Kudu Antelope, Strepsiceros 
sp. incert., brought from Abyssinia by the late 
Mr. W. T. Blanford, F.R.S. 
(ii) A stuffed male Duyonff, Halicore duqonq, from the 
Gulf of Manar. * 
(hi) A model of the Siisii, or Gangetic Dolplin, Platanista 
gangetica. 
(iv) Models, made by C. Subraya Mudaliar of the 
Trivandrum Museum, of Little Indian Porpoise, 
Phocaena phocaenoides^ Speckled Dolphin, 
lentiginosa^ and the Dolphin, Delphinus delphis. 
(v) A model of the Soft-Turtle, Ghitra indica. 
(vi) A Rat Snake, or Dhaman, Zamenis mucosus^ 8 foot 
3 inches (2*51 metres) long, labelled as being the 
record for length; but Wall (J.B.N.H.S., XVII, 
p. 260) mentions specimens 9 feet inches 
(2*78 metres) and 11 feet 9 inches (3*58 
metres) long. 
(vii) The saw of a Saw-Fish, Pristis perrottetii. 
The fish is said to have been 21 feet 7 inches 
(6’57 metres) in length. Indian Saw-Fishes of 
this great size are very seldom obtained. Day 
(‘‘Fauna of British India,” Fishes, I, 1889, 
pp. 38, 39) mentions a Pristis cuspidatus of 20 
feet (6*09 metres) and a Pristis pectinatus of 
24 feet (7*31 metres). 
(viii) A specimen of the bright coloured Saw -Fish, Pristis 
pectinatus annandalei^ from the coast of Burma. 
(ix) A model of a green coloured Sting Ray, Trygon 
sephen (or Hypolophus sephen). 
(x) A stuffed specimen of the very thorny Ray called 
Urogymnus asperrimus. 
* Total length, as stuffed, from tip of snout along curves, 9 feet 4 inches (2*84 
metres). Mr. S. W. Kemp very kindly had this specimen measured at my request.
