TIGER SHOOTING IN S. INDIA 



though occasionally bagged by beating, are perhaps 

 even more frequently encountered accidentally. 



Captain Forsyth, in The Highlands of Central 

 India, describes a method of tracking-up and shoot- 

 ing a gorged tiger from the back of an elephant, no 

 beaters or pad elephants being employed, but this 

 plan is not practised in Southern India.
