About The book -: This book is prepared from the present revised and abridged edition of Sterndale’s well-known work, the editor has quoted the author’s original observations verbatim as far as possible. Sterndale’s arrangement has been adhered to as far as possible, and the scientific names are for the most part those used by him and by Blanford in his standard work, the " Mammalia” volume in the Fauna of British India series. To this, particularly in the matter of vernacular names and of distribution, the editor has been especially indebted and he has also to express his thanks to Messrs. In addition to granting permission this old firm of publishers were kind enough to supply electrotypes from the original woodcuts, a small enough technical point, but of great value as far as the appearance of the book is concerned. The work of revision was started in 1927. It has been in many ways a labour of love, and editor venture to express a hope that it may effectually supply a need that undoubtedly exists at the present time.
