Abstract
THE essays collected in this little volume have, with one exception (which made its appearance in the Indian Daily Telegraph), been previously before the public in the columns of the Times of India. Although his style is occasionally somewhat slangy, the author discourses in a pleasant and readable manner on the habits and mode of life of various living creatures commonly met with by the resident in India, inclusive of some of those to be seen on the voyage. Excluding all such animals as come under the denomination of game—whether great or small—he confines his attention to the less attractive, although in many cases by no means the less obtrusive, members of the animal world, and from this lowly aspect of his subject he has chosen the title of the volume.
