Pall Mall Gazette.--"The book will appeal most of all to those who have occasion to visit Indian hill stations."

Morning Post.--"Now and again he gives us little pictures of bird-life, which are pleasant proofs that he is, like M. Fabre, a master of the new science that will not select the facts or distort them to suit some splendid generalisation."
