Preface 



my sincere thanks are due for the kindly courtesy 

 which has permitted a brother sportsman to 

 dedicate these memories of the Indian Jungles to 

 himself. 



To my Wife, and to Capt. H. Willis, of the 

 29th Lancers, my thanks are due for the use of 

 the photographs in the plates ; and to Mr. W. C. 

 Fasson, Deputy - Inspector - General of Police, 

 Bengal, for two original plates depicting bison 

 incidents in the Chota Nagpur jungles. 



Finally, I offer my grateful acknowledgments 

 to my Publishers for their unwearying courtesy 

 and the unsparing efforts they have taken to 

 produce the book in its present pleasing form : 

 for the outward appearance, at least, will, I feel 

 sure, appeal to all. 



E. P. S.
