Abstract
IN this small work Dr. Fayrer gives a popular description of the zoological relationships, anatomical structure, geographical distribution and habits of the tiger. Accounts are also introduced of tiger-hunts, which well exemplify the dangers to be feared and the precautions to be taken in the pursuit of that large game, which even under the most favourable circumstances cannot be followed without a great amount of risk. The author's considerable Indian experience gives great weight to his opinions on many of these points, especially with reference to the nature of the wounds inflicted by the enraged creature.
