I ndia, few writers have dealt with the less exciting subject of small-game shooting in that country, and none, so far as I know, with the subject from the point of view of the novice. There is naturally not so much to be said about small as about big game shooting (where every sportsman has fresh talcs to tell of his own individual experiences), nor will what is to be said appeal so much to the general reader; but, still, the gun has a far larger practical following than the rifle, and a new-comer in India often feels the need of literature from which he may learn the rudiments of the sport. It is with the object of supplying this need, however inadequately, that I have written this book. The advice, suggestions, and information which it contains are the result of my own personal experiences in different parts of I ndia, viz., the Punjab, the United Provinces, the Central Provinces, Bengal, and A ssam, supplemented by what I have learned from the many experienced sportsmen with whom I have shot. The book does not profess to be any more than what its title claims for it namely, a handbook for beginners. With perhaps one exception, the sportsman of experience will find little or nothing in it that he does not know already, and will no doubt find many omissions that wider experience might have supplied.
