Ball, V: Jungle Life in India, or the Journeys and Journals

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.
