816 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL MUST. SOCIETY, Vol. XXIV. 



Of bears only the small Ursus malaijanus is noticed although Ursu9 

 torquatus has a much more southern range than in India. 



Mr. Christopher is to be congratulated on not dragging in " caudal 

 vertebrae " and otherwise attempting to distinguish between the leopard 

 and the panther, although we are amused at his classing those who have 

 previously done so as " Natural History Authors." 



In conclusion the author trusts that the accounts of his adventures 

 will be of some use to the beginner and though his advice and " tips " 

 would hold equally good for any kind of hunting in any kind of country 

 and have been fully written on many times before, we fully endorse 

 everything on such subjects as " care in handling a gun" as useful and 

 sound. But for the sportsman who has hunted elsewhere and wishes to 

 learn about the distribution and habits of the local Big Game of Burma 

 previous to going there, this book will be found too incomplete to be of 

 any great value. We are sure Mr. Christopher does not seriously suggest 

 sitting up for game over water holes and salt licks. 



The illustrations, although numerous, are poorly reproduced and being in 

 themselves of small interest might with advantage have been left out.
