About this Item
The author, posted to Ceylon in the capacity of Colonial Secretary, resided in the then-British colony for five years and subsequently wrote two lengthy works on the country. The present monograph was drawn from a revised and expanded section of one of these earlier works. A detailed study, full of fascinating insights into the nature and habits of this extraordinarily intelligent mammal. Some spots and wrinkles on front cover cloth; binding otherwise tight and strong. A few internal pages somewhat spotted; Contents pages a little loose but still attached, missing frontispiece. Overall a good, sound copy. xxii, 198 (2) pp., 2 b&w plates, 19 b&w ill.'s in text. Size: 18 x 13 cm. Seller Inventory # 002329
