Some time ago you made some tables on Assam Tigers and Terai Arc Tigers from most of the old hunting records if I remember correctly.
Do you know where I can find those now?
Thanks

All tables on the size of tigers shot in what used to be British India were posted in the tiger extinction thread. The problem is that thread has many pages and no index, meaning you have no option but to go over all posts. Might take some time, but it's the only way to find the tables. I'll start on the index when I have time. 

After I had posted the tables, I ordered a lot of books published in the period 1890-1960. Quite a few of them have information about the size of tigers shot in that period. Furthermore, I recently read all volumes of the JBNHS published in the period 1890-1960 again. I was surprised at what I found. All in all, we're talking about hundreds of records I consider reliable. I'll start on the tables soon. All of them will will be posted in the tiger extinction thread. 

I know 'when I have time' returns all too often these days, but my first goal is to finish the reorganisation of the system I use to find information. It's time-consuming work, but it has a reward in that it will enable me to find my way quickly in the near future. Reply
