Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The author has made a noble attempt to prepare the text to highlight the substance of account during his six years residence in India (from 1849 to 1854). This volume, aside from being a fascinating historical travelogue, presents a sampling of Indian wildlife in the mid-19th century, prior to the devastation that was to follow. The book is a fascinating read for all with an interest in the ecology and history of the sub-continent India is home to one of the richest and most diverse populations of wildlife of any territory on earth, including big cats, many species of deer, the Indian elephant, the rhinoceros and a great multitude of reptiles and birds. At the beginning of the British Raj (1858) Indian wildlife populations were largely intact - with up to 100,000 tigers in the territory alone. The following 100 years saw this rich heritage greatly depleted. A swelling native population and British big game hunting wreaked havoc on all Indian wildlife. Recent Indian and international efforts have attempted to arrest or reverse the damage and today India hosts some 515 wildlife sanctuaries and 18 biosphere reserves. This book was first published in 1867. About the Author :-Andrew Leith Adams FRSE, FRS was a Scottish physician, naturalist and geologist. He was the father of the writer Francis Adams.

He also served in Kashmir, Egypt, Malta (18611868), Gibraltar and Canada. He spent his spare time studying the natural history of these countries.

The orange bullfinch (Pyrrhula aurantiaca) was discovered by him as also the first breeding site of brown-headed gulls (Larus brunnicephalus) in the lakes of the Tibetan plateau.
