Dear Krushnameghji, Have you seen Harish Gaonkar's collection ? Is it housed at the natural history museum, London or some place in India ? Do you know whether he actually collected all those specimens during his survey or its more like he collected few, saw few and composed the lists from JBNHS articles ? Last question, any idea when is his book ( Series of 5 books according to Dr. Ghorpade ) is due for release ?
