"Colonel Kinloch, who has killed most kinds of Indian game, small and great, relates incidents of his varied sporting experiences in chapters, which are each descriptive of a different animal. The photo-gravures of the heads of many of the animals, from the grand gaur, popularly miscalled the bison, downwards, are extremely clever and spirited."-Times.

Splendidly Illustrated Book of Sport. In Demy 4to; Rs. 25; elegantly bound. (£2 25.) Thirty Plates and a Map.

Large Game Shooting in Thibet, the Himalayas, and Northern India. By Colonel ALEXANDER A. KINLOCH. Containing descriptions of the country and of the various animals to be found; together with extracts from a journal of several years' standing. With thirty illustrations and map of the district.

"An attractive volume, full of sporting adventures in the valleys and forest hills extending along the foot of the Himalayas. Its pages are also interesting for the graphic description they give of the beasts of the field, the cunning instinct which they show in guarding their safety, the places which they choose for their lair, and the way in which they show their anger when at bay. Colonel Kinloch writes on all these subjects in a genuine and straightforward style, aiming at giving a complete description of the habits and movements of the game."-British Mail.

"If Carlyle had ever condescended to notice sport and sportsmen he might probably have invented some curious and expressive phrase for the author of this book. It is the work of a genuine Shikhari. The heads have been admirably reproduced by the photograph. The spiral or curved horns, the silky hair, the fierce glance, the massive jaws, the thick neck of deer, antelope, yak or bison, are realistic and superior to anything that we can remember in any bookshelf full of Indian sport."-Saturday Review.

"The splendidly illustrated record of sport. The photo-gravures, especially the heads of the various antelopes, are lifelike: and the letterpress is very pleasant reading."-Graphic.
