IMPORTANT NEW BOOK ON SPAIN. 
By ABEL CHAPMAN and WALTER J. BUCK, 
Britisu VicE-ConsuL aT JEREZ. 
With 200 Illustrations by the AUTHOR, E. CALDWELL, and others, 
Sketch Maps, and Photographs. 
In Europe Spain is certainly far and away the wildest of wild 
lands—due as much to her physical formation as to any historic or 
racial causes. Whatever the precise reason, the fact remains that 
wellnigh one-half of Spain to-day lies wholly waste and barren— 
abandoned to wild beasts and wild birds. Naturally the Spanish 
fauna remains one of the richest and most varied in Europe. 
It is of these wild regiéns and of their wild inhabitants that the 
authors write, backed by lifelong experience. Spain, in this sense, 
is virgin ground, unoccupied save by our authors themselves. Their 
‘Wild Spain,’ written in 1892, was widely appreciated, and for 
many years past has commanded a fancy price. 
The present work represents nearly forty years of constant study, of 
practical experience in field and forest, combined with systematic 
note-taking and analysis by men who are recognised as specialists in 
their selected pursuits. These comprise every branch of sport with 
rod, gun, and rifle; and, beyond all that, the ability to elaborate the 
results in the light of modern zoological science. 
The illustrations are exclusively prepared from life-sketches made 
upon the spot, and include many studies of the rarer or vanishing 
forms of animal life.

The Author of this volume was appointed to the Indian Forest 
Service in days when the Indian Mutiny was fresh in the minds of 
his companions, and life in the department full of hardships, loneli- 
ness, and discomfort. These drawbacks, however, were largely 
compensated for by the splendid opportunities for sport of all kinds 
which almost every station in the Service offered, and it is in 
describing the pursuit of game that the most exciting episodes of the 
book are to be found. What Mr. Eardley-Wilmot does not know 
about tiger-shooting cannot be worth knowing, for in addition to 
having bagged several score, he has many a time watched them 
without intention of firing at them. Spotted deer, wild buffaloes, 
mountain goats, sambhar, bears, and panthers, are the subject of
