. Jungle by-ways in India; leaves from the note-book of a sportsman and a naturalist. Hunting; Natural history. Jungle By-Ways in India us, giving a fine galloping shot to the third rifle, who bowls him over. A fine heavy beast, but the horns are but thirty- four, for the old big heads nowadays do not appear to frequent the maidan forest, but get away into the broken hilly country, where they must be followed and stalked down on foot—and a rare good sport this stalkingls, as we shall see later, for one who is sound in wind and Plunges madly through the forest. The breaking of the sambhar brings the beat to an end, for, it being early in the day, we are not firing at birds, and the pea-fowl, jungle-fowl and partridges which come out at the end of the beat are allowed to go scathless. They form pretty shooting towards the end of the day, especially if numerous, and the gun only takes the more diffi- cult birds. And an old cock jungle-fowl, coming over the guns with a breeze behind him, takes some shooting, as most of us know !
