Fauna of British India

Fauna of British India

The Fauna of British India including Ceylon and Burma was a series of publications made by the British government in India and was published by Taylor and Francis of London. It was started somewhere in 1881 after a letter was sent to the Secretary of State for India signed by Charles Darwin, Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and other eminent men of science. [Kinnear, N.B. (1951) The history of Indian mammalogy and ornithology. Part I. Mammals. J. Bombay. Nat. Hist. Soc. 50] [Kinnear, N.B. (1952) The history of Indian mammalogy and ornithology. Part II. Birds. J. Bombay. Nat. Hist. Soc. 51(1): 104-110] For this W. T. Blanford was appointed as editor and was also made in charge of the volume on mammals.In his volume on the Mammals, Blanford notes:
