Mahavidyalaya Kavathe Mahankal, Sangli (M.S) India Email: [email protected] Abstract: The Sanctuary area is home to several species, rich endemic flora and harbors different species of fauna. Amphibians are one of the most ubiquitous groups of predators in the animal kingdom commonly found in all terrestrial and many aquatic ecosystems. Baveli and Talegaon region is the part of Northern Western Ghats of Maharashtra. So far no body has worked out or studied the amphibian Diversity from Baveli, Talegaon region of Radhanagari Wildlife Sanctuary and hence we have decide to explore the amphibian diversity from this area. Most of the area is dense semi-evergreen forest with a wide range of flora. The area prevails humid and moderate climate and heavy rainfall This high diversity of habitats responsible for amphibian diversity. For the present study the survey of amphibians was carried out during rainy season (late May to late October). The presence of various species of frogs were noted on the bases of actual sighting, presence of egg clusters (for same species), on their calls. The specimens were obtained along the streams and through patches of forest during day light and early night hours. The most distinct feature of this area is the presence of numerous barons rocky and laetrile plateau called as sadas.

Apart from the fact that it is the first systematic attempt as far as Kerala is concerned, its particular value lay in presenting a record of these rapidly vanishing cultural heritage. The Census report on fairs and festivals consists of two publications, Part VII B (i), Fairs and Festivals of Kerala containing the descriptive portion and Part VII B (ii), Fairs and Festivals of Kerala-Statements giving the tables relating to the fairs and festivals. The first part has already been published in 1966. It is the second part that is presented in this book. This publication is entirely a compilation of the statements furnished by various agencies like the Departments of Health Services, Police, Local Bodies, Revenue and the Devaswom Boards of Travancore and Cochin. This is something like a directory of fairs and festivals in the State arranged according to di'>tricts and taluks, which might excite the curiosity of the scholars who are interested in investigating the religiou, centres and festivals.
