xvi DIARY OF A SPORTSMAN NATURALIST 



Sitting up in a machan 



Shooting from a howdah elephant 



The mighty herd of bison stampeded in all directions 



The black mass plunged to the ground 



A pad elephant .... 



The porcupine with quills out 



A grey shadow appeared 



A j ungle cock perched on a fallen tree . 



There was an old boar in this party 



A small herd of chital crossed the river-bed

I lay behind a ber bush 



Black buck on the qui vive . 



The marvellous jumping powers of black buck 



I had a fine bull's eye to fire at 



A tiger looking out of a patch of tall grass 



On a pad elephant in high tiger grass . 



A rhinoceros in grass jungle 



As we approached the village 



We climbed the steep slope with heavy loads 



Howdah elephant kneeling 



Out in the tiger-grass jungles 



A spotted deer or chital with young 



A tiger was on the edge of the forest . 



The native shikari sits in a machan 



The leopard lay flat on his stomach 



The havildah and the rifles . 



A small herd of chital were grazing 



The pea-fowl were calling in the forest 



The leopard sprang into the air with a roar 



The elephant backs a step or two
