There is even advice concerning the wearing of 'coloured spectacles' when entering the snow country. The second half dwells on the author's experiences hunting blackbuck, urial, markhor, ibex, and other game, though there is little mention of the actual hunting venues. He particularly enjoyed stalking markhor, which he considered the 'monarch of the Himalayas'" Size: 8vo.
