"This book has been compiled with the special object of assisting sportsmen visiting these hills to know, when, where, and how to get at game. Information with regard to record heads shot in the Nilgiris, the chief shooting centres, particulars of game to be found in various parts, list of Travellers' bungalows, motorable roads, and bridle-paths, showing distances, etc. has been furnished which should be of great help. ...I have also given particulars concerning some adjoining districts which hold good shooting grounds, with a brief summary also of one or two other places which should be of use to sportsmen in general". "This handbook for sportsmen hunting in the Nilgiris region features descriptions of tiger, panther, and other game, ...measuring tiger, ...hunting crocodile, hiring shikaris, choosing rifles, and the preservation of trophies. Another hunter with the pseudonym of '.405' provides a chapter on shooting cheetal and bison, while Edmund Ball contributes a segment on tiger hunting".
