    From the Preface: "This book is written primarily, in the interests of sportsmen resident in Ceylon which will account for the considerable amount of detail in the way of routes and place names, but I hope it may also appeal to sportsmen in other parts of the world, especially those who have visited, or otherwise know, the Island."
