Reviews of Third Edition. 



Nature. — " Colonel Le Messurier writes as a field naturalist for field naturalists 

 and sportsmen without any great pretensions to scientific knowledge, but there is 

 no doubt that all naturaUsts will gain useful hints from this little volume, which 

 is profusely illustrated with wood cuts giving the characteristic features of most of 

 the species." 



Knowledge. — " Compact in form, excellent in method and arrangement, and as 

 far as we have been able to test it, rigidly accurate in details, Colonel Le Messurier's 

 book should become the vade mecum of every sportsman and naturalist whom duty 

 or pleasure may compel to visit India." 



Madras Titfies. — " Neatly and handily bound, well printed and clearly 

 illustrated, the book undoubtedly fills a void in the literature of the day. The 

 work is well arranged, and will probably fully answer the requirements of even a 

 veteran sportsman."
