There can be few men who have a better claim than Mr. Webber to 

 enlighten the public on the fascinating subject of Indian Jungles and 

 Forests. The author has travelled far and wide over the regions he 

 describes, and entertains his readers with a great deal of forest-lore 

 about the trees which have been his chief care. The animal denizens 

 of the forest, their habits, and the methods of hunting them, also pro- 

 vide many interesting chapters, while special attention may be drawn 

 to Mr. Webber's account of his journeys in the still almost unknown 

 region of Tibet. The volume concludes with a valuable Appendix on 

 Forest Management. 



WITH MACDONALD IN UGANDA.

The completion of the Uganda Railway and the consequent opening 

 up of the country to civilization have lent fresh interest to that more 

 than ordinarily fascinating portion of the Dark Continent. It is 

 probably not fully realised to what an extent, not this result alone, but 

 the very existence of Uganda as a part of the British Empire, due 

 to the little band of white men who, in the face of great natural 

 difficulties, and in the midst of a widespread and dangerous rebellion, 

 accomplished the work of which this volume is a record. 



How the exploratory expedition sent out in June, 1897, under the 

 command of Major (now Colonel) J. R. L. Macdonald, R.E., was, 

 immediately after its arrival, confronted with a grave situation in 

 Uganda is probably well known, but so many erroneous impressions 

 exist as to the actual outbreak of hostilities with the mutineers of the 

 Sudanese escort that it is hoped that the account given in this volume 

 of what really took place, as written down by one who was on the spot 

 at the time, may tend to remove them.
