LETTERS ON 



SPORT IN EASTERN BENGAL. 



By FRANK B. SIMSON (Bengal Civil Service, Retired). 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 

 " This fine woi'k consists of a series of sixty-one letters, intended to convey all the 

 information concerning the shooting and tilling of large and small game that is likely to 

 be useful to a young Englishman settled in Bengal. The book is quite a cyclopaedia of its 

 kind. There is little hearsay information and no padding. Everything, with a very few 

 necessary exceptions, is the outcome of practical experience. For thirty years, and till 

 within comparatively a short time ago, Mr. Siinson followed with the utmost enthusiasm 

 every kind of bird and beast, from snipe to tigers, he could find or hear of; and some of 

 his adventures are quite sporting romances. As a record of one man's sport among big 

 and small game, extending over a period of thirty years, this book stands unrivalled ; and 

 as a guide to sportsmen visiting the plains and forests of India, and especially Bengal, it 

 is beyond praise." — The Athencmm. 



A Handbook to the Birds of British Burmah, including those found 

 in the State of Karennee. By E. W. Oates. With a Map of British 

 Burmah. 2 vols., roy. 8vo, £1 Is. 



" Just what a handbook ought to be. Every species is shortly and plainly described 

 and references are given to all works bearing upon Burmese ornithology. A short account 

 of the habit and nesting (where known) is always added. Mr. Oates's useful volumes will 

 be much appreciated by the students of the ornis of British Burmah, who with its aid will 

 have no difficulty in recognizing the native specimen." — The Ibis.

 Mr. J. Gr. Keulemans.

 the Authors. Intending Subscribers will oblige by sending their names direct to 

 the Publisher. 



" Dr. Sclatek and Mr. Hudson have combined their forces to produce one of the best, 

 books ever written on South American Ornithology. Each is a master of his own portion 

 of the subject, for no one is better acquainted with Neotropical Ornithology than 

 Dr. Sclaier, and Mr. Hudson has been known for many years as one of the best living 

 observers of the habits of birds in the field. The scheme of the book, therefore, leaves 

 nothing to be desired, and the whole of the "get up," as regards paper, print, and illus- 

 trations, renders it as good as it is possible to be, and reflects the greatest credit on the 

 publisher." — Nature.
