This is the third edition of the standard reference work on India's more common mammals. Based on the observations of the naturalists and sportsmen who have contributed to the journal of the Bombay Natural History Society for over a century, the book describes and illustrates the habitat, characteristics, distribution, and other details of twenty-three different types of mammal.

The comprehensive illustrations include 28 full colour plates depicting 141 species, by the distinguished artist M. Paul Barruel. There are also 40 black-and-white plates, and a 2-page colour map of India showing climatic forest types and the distribution of geographical races of the Indian Giant Squirrel.

This is a book for anyone interested in Indian animals, at whatever level.
