A Naturalist in Himalaya 
By Capt. R. W, G. HINGSTON, M.C., I.M.S 
This account of the animal life of a Himalayan valley will 
be found of absorbing interest. The Author has the rare 
double faculty of intense observation and originality in 
method and thought. The chapters on geometrical 
spiders are especially interesting. By a number of careful 
experiments the Author discovered the mechanism of these 
spiders’ marvellous architecture. Much attention is given 
to various species of ants and their organisations, while 
nesting instincts of birds and other interesting topics 
are discussed by this acute observer. 
The Times oays :—“ It will interest all who have a special taste for natural history.” 
Manchester Guardian says:—“It should be in every zoologist’s library.”
