This work is designed to meet an existing want, viz.: a popular manualof Indian Mammalia. At present the only work of the kind is one whichtreats exclusively of the Peninsula of India, and which consequentlyomits the more interesting types found in Assam, Burmah, and Ceylon,as well as the countries bordering the British Indian Empire on theNorth. The geographical limits of the present work have been extendedto all territories likely to be reached by the sportsman from India,thus greatly enlarging the field of its usefulness.
The stiff formality of the compiled "Natural Histories" has beendiscarded, and the Author has endeavoured to present, in interestingconversational and often anecdotal style, the results of experienceby himself and his personal friends; at the same time freely availinghimself of all the known authorities upon the subject.
