In this somewhat different turn in sporting books, Malet recounts the shooting experiences of James Carmody Collingson who traveled to Baltistan, Tibet, Ladakh and other locales in search of wild game. A trophy ibex was collected, with additional successful hunts after gazelle, shapoo, burhel and other game. Descending into India's Central Provinces, Collingson bagged tiger, sambur and bear [Czech, Asia, p. 133]. Original red cloth with black spine titles, light lifting of cloth on front board. Original endpapers firm and tight. Very light foxing confined mostly to the preliminary pages. Illustrated with photo plates.
