Fox, E.B.
Notes on Panthers
1920  Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (27): 394-397

In the journal of our society. Vol. XXVI, No 3, page 841, is an interesting article by H.H. The Maharaja of Dhar on the big game of the Dhar State. I note that out of 100 panthers shot no less than 8 have taped eight foot in length. The Indian Field Shikar book, third edition, 1006, mention only four panthers of 8 feet and over, rix, one shot by Capt. A.G Arbuthnot (the longest on record) 8 feet 5 inches. One shot by the Maheraja of Couch Behar measuring 8 feet 4 inches. One of 8 feet 3 inches shot in Garbwal, and one of 8 feet shot in Pauna.
