Glossary. From the Introduction The Indian museum was established in the year 1814 but zoological galleries were set up later in the year 1878. Since then only one catalogue on total mammalian collections was published in two volumes by Anderson (1881) and Sclater (1891). With the establishment of the Zoological Survey of India in the year 1916 the zoological galleries along with the displayed and reserve collections came under the supervision of the survey. The sources of collection of the exhibits are various. Some of the mammal specimens were originally the property of the Asiatic Society of Bengal which was established in the year 1784 by Sir William Jones. Blyth (1863) published a catalogue dealing with the collection of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. Those mammalian collections were later handed over to the Indian museum. So the gallery is enriched with century old exhibits also. Private donors too numerous to mention also contributed substantial collections. Collections of W.Rutledge C.J.T. Llyod A.R.S. Andersons H.P. Vieree Thakur Jaswant Singh E. Blyth etc. specially enriched the gallery. In the recent period the main sources of collection are from Kolkata Zoological Garden and Zoological Survey of India. The collection is also enriched with invaluable specimens collected during different expeditions viz. Yunnan expedition in 1868 and 1875 northern and eastern frontier expedition in 1870 Pamir boundary commission in 1896 Lhasa expedition in 1903 Abor expedition in 1911 etc. 100 pp. …
