26 SPORT IN BENGAL. 



To the "griffin" such an expedition is curious and in- 

 teresting, but to older hands it is irksome, unless diversified 

 by some good sport with tigers. The naturalist will find 

 ample scope for his studies, and will gain experience in many 

 ways, in his own person as well as through other means. 

 The face of the country being covered deep under water, the 

 air is not unwholesome, and malaria need not be feared till 

 October at least.
