Excerpt from Jungle Life in India, or the Journeys and Journals of an Indian Geologist
Although accounts of shooting and sport frequently occur in these pages, I wish it to be understood that I do not profess to write as a sportsman. Such sport as I have had, though it has been of a most varied kind, has been rather incidental to my every-day life than pursued merely for its own sake. The successful pursuit of sport requires, as a general rule, one's undivided attention, and the claims of my work in the wildest and most likely places - where, camp supplies being scarce, frequent moving had to be the order of the day - often prevented me from availing myself of opportunities for making large bags. For. Those sportsmen who care for something more than numbering the head of game killed - and they constitute, I believe, the majority in India these pages will not, I trust, prove devoid of interest.
