Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Jungle By-Ways in India, as the title implies, deals with the great jungle tracts of Hindustan, and with the animal life they contain - the animal life, that is, as known to the Shikari man. The observations and incidents related, and the materials for the rough sketches in the text, are extracted from notes kept in the diaries which are the outcome of sixteen pleasant and interesting years spent in the Indian Forest Service. What merit these sketches, from both pen and pencil, may possess must be sought for in that atmosphere which breathes through accounts of incidents set down at the time of their occurrence, or immediately after - an atmosphere which, as I believe, is to be only attained in this manner.
