THE PHYSICAL FEATURES 



tramping in a wild tropical country to be all "beer and 

 skittles." l 



Finally, brother sportsman or traveller, resident or non- 

 resident, if you are wise, before starting on a trip you will 

 purchase from the Survey Office, Colombo, a map of the 

 country you intend to travel through and thoroughly study 

 it. Most excellent maps on scales of i mile, 4 miles, and 

 8 miles to the inch can be procured now, absolutely correct 

 and up-to-date, and of these I most strongly recommend 

 the coloured i mile to the inch sheets mounted to fold on 

 cloth and carried in a portfolio. Index maps can be studied 

 which will show you the numbers of the sheets you particu- 

 larly require. We have now, thanks to the decision of our 

 late Governor, Sir West Ridgeway, and the energy of our 

 lately retired Survey or- General, Mr. F. H. Grinlinton, a 

 correct and up-to-date map of Ceylon, all former maps 

 having been very sketchy and incorrect.
