CATALOGUE OF MAMMALIA IN THE INDIAN MUSEUM, CALCUTTA: BY JOHN ANDERSON, M.D., F.R.S., SUPERINTENDENT OF THE INDIAN MUSEUM, AND PROFESSOR OF COMPARATIVE ANATOMY, MEDICAL COLLEGE, Part I. Primates, Prosimise, Chiroptera, and Insectivora. CALCUTTA: PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. 1881. CALCUTTA PRIXTED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING. 106, DHURRUMTOLLAH STREET. WELLCOME INSTITUTE LfBPAPY Coll Call No. S*jj PREFACE. CATALOGUE of the Mammalia in the Museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, drawn up by the late Mr. Edward Blyth, was published by the Society in 1863. In 1865, the Museum of the Asiatic Society practically became the property of the Government of India, although the legal transfer was not completed until 1S76. The various departments of the Museum have very largely increased since 1863, many of them now being four-fold more extensive than they were seventeen years ago. It was, there¬ fore, recently resolved to issue a series of catalogues of the various departments of the Museum, with the object of making their contents known, and thus extending the useful¬ ness of the Institution. Two instalments have already been published, viz., a Fasciculus of the Catalogue of the Mollusca, and the first part of a Hand-List of the same group. The present volume therefore, is the third of the series. It comprises, however, only the first four orders of the Mammalia, viz., Primates, Prosimice, Chiroptera, and Insecti- vora ; but catalogues of the remaining orders will be published as soon as possible. Some idea of the increase that has taken place in the VI PREFACE. collection of Mammalia since 1863 may be gained from the following table; but in other groups the increase is even more marked:— Pbimates. Peosimi.®. CnlBOPTEBA. Insectivoba. 1863. 1881. 1863. 1881. 1863. 1881. 1863. 1881. Genera 11 17 3 7 24 27 13 17 Species 40 73 7 14 67 113 36 52 Specimens . 162 672 22 69 215 1,116 123 426 The Chiroptera in this catalogue, with a few exceptions, were identified by Mr. G. E. Dobson, who published a list of them in his Monograph of the Asiatic Chiroptera, issued by the Trustees of this Museum in 1876 ; and his arrangement of the group has been followed. A list of the donors to the sections dealt with in this part of the Catalogue will be found after this Preface. It includes, as far as possible, the names of all contributors before and since 1863.

  • SINGER Centre for Human Bioethics Monash University
    Practical Ethics Second Edition PETER SINGER Centre for Human Bioethics Monash University If..:., .... CAMBRIDGE ::: UNIVERSITY PRESS Peter Singer's remarkably clear and comprehensive Practical Eth­ ics has become a classic introduction to applied ethics since its publication in 1979 and has been translated into many lan­ guages. For this second edition the author has revised all the existing chapters, added two new ones, and updated the bib­ liography. He has also added an appendix describing some of the deep misunderstanding of, and consequent violent reaction to, the book in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland where the book has tested the limits of freedom of speech. The focus of the book is the application of ethics to difficult and controversial social questions: equality and discrimination by race, sex, ability, or species; abortion, euthanasia, and embryo experimentation; the Moral Status of animals; political violence and civil disobedience; overseas aid and the obligation to assist others; responsibility for the environment; the treatment of ref­ ugees. Singer explains and assesses relevant arguments in a perspicuous, nondoctrinaire way. He structures the book to show how contemporary controversies often have deep philo­ sophical roots; and he presents an ethical theory of his own that can be applied consistently and convincingly to all the practical cases. The book's primary readership remains teachers and students of ethics whether in philosophy or some other branch of the humanities or social sciences. However, such is the clarity of the book's style and structure that it should interest any thinking person concerned with the most difficult social problems facing us as we approach the twenty-first century.

This newsletter looks at tennis, discus, shot put, trolleying down Owairaka and of course, stick jumping.... Any One For Tennis? Tennis was well established in Mt Albert in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Penman family history says that Maria Penman, who died in 1917, only played under arm on the family court.(1)This was a common practice for colonial women as it was thought that a modified style of play was preferable to playing vigorously. Women tennis players at the turn of the nineteenth century stayed on the baseline instead of moving in to the net and served underarm. Back hand play was avoided and players ‘ran around’ left hand balls. The game was played on private lawns, with heavy rackets, high nets and with soft rubber balls. Tennis was initially a middle class sport with only the well to do being able to afford the cost of the equipment and later on, club membership fees. (2) Tennis and croquet gave colonial women the best access From Left: Clara Moginie, Florrie Woodroffe, Vera to sport as historically they were played by both men Moginie, Carrie Bush. and women. When tennis clubs were formed , women were admitted as members without opposition. The Mt Florrie (Florence) Woodroffe was born in 1886 and Albert Lawn Tennis Club was the second oldest grass bought up in Lloyd Avenue, the family possibly built the court club in Auckland and is a fine example of this.
