A NATURAL HISTORY 



MAMMALIA OF INDIA, 



BURMAH AND CEYLON. 

 By R. A. STERNDALE, F.R.G.S., F.Z.S., ETC., 



Author of " Seonee," " The Denizens of the Jungle," " The Afghan Knife," etc. 

 With 170 Illustrations by the Author and others. 



The geographical limits 

 of the present work have 

 been extended to all terri- 

 tories likely to be reached 

 by the sportsman from 

 India. It is copiously il- 

 lustrated, not only by the 

 author himself, but by care- 

 ful selections made by him 

 from the works of well- 

 known artists. 



Knowledge. " It is the very model of what a popular natural history should be. " 

 Nature. " An amusing work with good illustrations." 

 Saturday Review. " Full of accurate observations, brightly told." 

 AthencEum. " The results of a close and sympathetic observation." 

 Academy. " It has the brevity which is the soul of wit, and a delicacy of allu- 

 sion which charms the literary critic." 



The Times. ' ' The notices of each animal are, as a rule, short, though on some 

 of the larger mammals the lion, tiger, pard, boar, etc. ample and interesting 

 details are given, including occasional anecdotes of adventure. The book will, no 

 doubt, be specially useful to the sportsman, and, indeed, has been extended so as 

 to include all territories likely to be reached by the sportsman from India. Those 

 who desire to obtain some general information, popularly conveyed, on the subject 

 with which the book deals, will, we believe, find it useful." 



The Daily News. "Has contrived to hit a happy mean between the stiff 

 scientific treatise and the bosh of what may be called anecdotal zoology."
