Nov. 18 1915", Multan, shooting expedition in Firozpur, Punjab. "Major Clark skinning crocodile", views in Lahore (including the races and mosque), and a bear hunt near Dalhousie.

Dadabhoy), Dalhousie (8), Amritsar (2), Darjeeling (4), Lucknow (13), Benares (4), Simla and surrounding areas (7, signed in the negative by Craddock), and others - 5 signed in the negative by Bourne (nos. 1720, 1874, 1873, 1733, and 1737).
