A NATURAL HISTORY 



OF THE 



MAMMALIA OF INDIA 



By R, A. STERNDALE, F.R.G.S, F.Z.S., &c. 



AUTHOR OF "SEONEE," "THE DENIZENS OF THE JUNGLE," "THE AFGHAN KNIFE," ETC. 



With 170 Illustrations by the Author and Others. 



A work designed to meet an existing want — viz., a popular 

 manual of Indian Mammalia. The only work of the kind hitherto 

 has been one which treats exclusively of the Peninsula of India, 

 and therefore the more interesting types found in Assam, Burmah, 

 5?S and Ceylon, as well as the northern countries bordering the British 

 Empire, have been left out. In the present work the geographical 

 limits have been extended to all territories likely to be reached by 

 the sportsman from India, and thus its field of usefulness has been 

 greatly enlarged. It is copiously illustrated, not only by the author 

 himself, but by careful selections made by him from the works of well-known artists. 



REVIEWS. 



" The notices o( each animal are, as a rule, short, though on some of the larger mammals — the lion, tiger, pard, boar, &c. 

 — ample and interesting details are given, including occasional anecdotes of adventure. The book will, no doubt, be specially 

 useful to the sportsman, and, indeed, has 

 been extended so as to include all territories 

 likely to be reached by the sportsman from 



India Those who desire to 



obtain some general information, popularly 

 conveyed, on the subject with which the 

 book deals, will, we believe, find it useful." 

 — The Times. 



"An amusing work with good illustra- 

 tions. " — Nature. 



" Full of accurate observation, brightly 

 told." — Saturday Review. 



" The results of a close and sympathetic 

 observation. " — Athenaum. 



"It has the brevity which is the soul of wit, and a delicacy of allusion which charms the literary critic. " — Academy.
