The Asian,' London Society,' and the Daily Graphic,' to whose proprietors and editors I must return my best thanks for their courtesy in allowing me to republish them in book form.
I have purposely, and in order to avoid con fusion, divided the volume into two parts: the first dealing with shooting and hog-hunting in India, the second with sport at home.
