Abstract
THE volumes on mammals by Blandford in the first edition of “The Fauna of British India”, have long been out of date and the large amount of new material has called for a new edition. Mr. R. I. Pocock, whose knowledge of the subject from long experience, both at the British Museum and the Zoological Gardens, is second to none, has now produced the second volume of the second edition, the first, by the same author, having been reviewed in NATURE of February 3, 1940, p. 164.
