I am now able to give. During a tour in the Bombay Presidency, I was fortunate enough to make the acquaintance and to obtain the assistance of Mr. Perceval Of the Civil Service there, since Private Secretary to His Excellency Sir B. Frere, and through Mr. Perceval I have received a series of very interesting notes on the aborigines of that part of India by Captain Probyn, Major Keatinge, Mr. Ashe burner, Mr. Probert, and the Rev. Messrs. Moore and Taylor, con taining information not elsewhere procurable. During a former tour in the Mysore country and in some of the Madras districts adjoining, I received much kind assistance, and Mr. Bowring has since been good enough to point out to me some very interesting additional informa tion. With respect, however, to the Telinga country, and the extreme South of. India, I have not been fortunate enough to obtain all the information that I could desire.
