The total number of individual animals noted by us during our week of inspection was about 24. We are prepared to concede that we may have missed 75 % of the total number that may possibly exist here, without any sort of proof, of course, whether this is so or not. We cannot help feeling, however, that the figure '500 to 600' given to us as the estimated population in this sanctuary is greatly in escess of actuality and apt to lead to unwarranted complacency as regard the position of the species.
