Abstract
MR. WHISTLER'S book treats of sport and travel in a remote part of the Himalayan districts of the Punjab, Kulu, Lahul, and Spiti, of which the last is geographically part of Tibet though politically a district of India. The chapters dealing with it are of most interest since the country is almost unknown, but the whole book contains a great deal of valuable geographical and natural history material, including a chapter on birds. There are some fair illustrations and an adequate map.
In the High Himalayas: Sport and Travel in the Rhotang and Baralacha; with some Notes on the Natural History of that Area.
