Blanford, W.T.
The fauna of British India including Ceylon and Burma - Mammalia
1888 Full Book
The present is the first part of a general work, compiled for the Government, and published under its authority, on the Fauna of British India and its dependencies. The limits adopted for the fauna are those of the dependencies of India, with the addition of Ceylon, which, although British, is not under the Indian Government. Within the limits thus defined are comprised all India proper and the Himalayas, the Punjab, Sind, Baluchistan, all the Kashmir territories, with Gilgit, Ladak, Nepal, Sikhim, Bhutan, and other Cis-Himalayan States, Assam, the countries between Assam and Burma, such as the Khasi and Naga hills and Manipur, the whole of Burma, with Karennee and, of course, Tenasserim and the Mergui Archipelago, and, lastly, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Afghanistan, Kashgarin, Tibet, Yunnan, Siam, and the Malay Peninsula south of Tenasserim are excluded. The classification here adopted was proposed by Professor Flower in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London for 1883, pp. 178-186.
