How it works

Woodyatt devotes nearly one-third of this work to tiger hunting with mention of the Dehra Doon, Kumaon and Nepal. His initial chapter introduces famous English and Indian tiger hunters, including Sir Henry Ramsay who may have shot "several hundreds." Additionally, he provides chapters on panther, bear hunting in Chanda, burhel, thar, markhor and other game. He also presents hunting information on the likes of rhinoceros, gaur, wild sheep and goat species, and small game. Green cloth with black titles, one-inch repaired tear to top of upper hinge. Well-illustrated with photo plates. Pages 77-80 creased in lower corner including one plate, but with no loss.
