Abstract
THE writer of one of the books on Indian sport relates how he saw a herd of antelopes, driven backwards and forwards by four wolves, which surrounded the herd, each guarding a different side, until at length the antelopes passed over a ditch in which a fifth wolf lay concealed. This wolf, jumping up as the antelopes crossed, secured one of them, upon which his four companions joined him, and assisted in making a meal of the captured animal.
