Excerpt from Jungle Folk, Indian Natural History Sketches It is not of the bigger jungle folk that I write - of lions, tigers, leopards, bears, bison, or even deer and antelopes; for of these it is vouchsafed to no man - not even to the shikari, who spends years in the jungle - to obtain more than an occasional fleeting glimpse. The subjects of my theme are the lesser fry - vivacious mynas, noisy babblers, vociferous cuckoos, silent herons, beautiful pittas, graceful wagtails, elegant terns, melodious rock-chats, cheeky squirrels. A cheery crowd are these. The man who passes his days in India without knowing them misses much of the pleasure of life.
