A Naturalist in Himalaya 



By Capt. R. W. G. HINGSTON, M.C., I.M.S. 



This account of the animal Hfe of a Himalayan valley will 

 be found of absorbing interest. The Author has the rare 

 double faculty of intense observation and originality in 

 method and thought. The chapters on geometrical 

 spiders are especially interesting. By a number of careful 

 experiments the Author discovered the mechanism of these 

 spiders' marvellous architecture. Much attention is given 

 to various species of ants and their organisations, while 

 nesting instincts of birds and emotional expression in 

 the leopard, besides other interesting topics are discussed 

 by this acute observer.
