Abstract
THIS is perhaps the first attempt that has been made to give a comprehensive account of the natural history of any particular spot in our East Indian possessions, and we welcome this little book as a sample of what may be accomplished by residents there in the midst of their official occupations. The undertaking is worthy of all praise, and, as far as it goes, it is a valuable contribution to the ethnology and natural history of India, and will no doubt be the groundwork for further research, and lead to other similar works.
