THE EXPEDITION AND ITS OBJECT. 



THE author relates the experiences of a hunter and naturalist in India, 

 Ceylon, the Malay Peninsula, and Borneo; and certainly no richer hunting- 

 ground could be found anywhere else in the world. Mr. Hornaday is chief 

 taxidermist in the United States National Museum. He was formerly con- 

 nected with Professor Ward's Natural Science Museum of Rochester, N. Y., 

 and his expedition to the East was in the interests of that establishment. 

 While his book is in some respects like such works as those which Du Chaillu 

 and Sir Samuel W. Baker have written to delight and interest a multitude of 

 readers, he has imparted a vast amount of information, a lai-ge part of which is 

 new and of the greatest moment to the naturalist. 



Mr. Hornaday started from New York in 1876. From England he went 

 finally south to India, arriving at Bombay ; he went across country to Benares ; 

 from here he made an expedition to the north to Cawnpore and Agra. From 

 Benares he worked his way to Calcutta, journeyed down the Bay of Bengal to 

 Madras ; southward again, he made a complete circuit of Ceylon, then to the 

 Malay Peninsula, and finally to Borneo, where his adventures with the orang- 

 utan were met, ending his two years of fruitful and entirely successful search. 

 The illustrations are many, and most of them ai'e taken from Mr. Hornaday's 

 own sketches. Though it may seem to be stating much, it certainly may Ije 

 truly said that a more interesting book of travel and adventures was never 

 published.
