Reviews of Third Edition. 
Nature “ Colonel Le Messurier writes as a field naturalist for field naturalists 
and sportsmen without any great pretensions to scientific knowledge, but there is 
no doubt that all naturalists will gain useful hints from this little volume, which 
is profusely illustrated with wood cuts giving the characteristic features of most of 
the species.” 
Knowledge . — “ Compact in form, excellent in method and arrangement, and as 
far as we have been able to test it, rigidly accurate in details, Colonel Le Messurier’s 
book should become the vade mecum of every sportsman and naturalist whom duty 
or pleasure may compel to visit India.” 
Madras Times . — “ Neatly and handily bound, well printed and clearly 
illustrated, the book undoubtedly fills a void in the literature of the day. The 
work is well arranged, and will probably fully answer the requirements of even a 
veteran sportsman.”
