The Fauna of British India, including Ceylon and Burma

Abstract

THE present series of orks was initiated and carried on for upwards of twenty years under the able editorship of the late Dr. W. T. Blanford, and as this is the first volume issued under the supervision of his successor, Lieut.—Colonel C. T. Bingham, this seems to be a fitting opportunity to summarise the progress that has already been made. In Vertebrates eight volumes have appeared—one on Mammalia, by W. T. Blan ford; four on Birds, by Eugene V. Oates and W. T. Blanford; two on Fishes, by Francis Day; and one on Reptilia and Batrachia, by. G. A. Boulenger. In Invertebrates ten volumes have appeared—one on Butterflies, by C. T. Bingham; four on Moths, by G. F. Hampson; two on Hymenoptera, by C. T. Bingham; one (half-volume) on Arachnida, by R. I. Pocock; and two on Rhynchota, by W. L. Distant.
