 "Under the Sun, :" by Phil Robinson, is
 collection of Indian sketches, which has been
 highly praised by English papers and maga-
 zines, and which deserves this praise. The
 sketches deal chiefly with the birds beasts
 and insects of India but never were wild
 creatures treated so before. Nothing that
 they do or think escapes MT. Robinson's
 keen observation. He writes of the Speech
 less world" as fellow creatures that have
 very great deal in common with ourselves;
 but whom the pitiless advance of human in-
 tsrssts Is perpetually dispossessing, and who
 are doomed to extinction under the Jugger
 naut of civilization" The sketches are full
 of rollicking fun, and the fun is softened by
 touches of tender feeling and justified by
 stores of information in regard to these Ori-
 ental animals. Mir. Edwin Arnold, who
 writes the preface to this volume, says that
 he should send an uninformsd English reader to this book as the best source of hints of the out of door look and spirit of things in
 the Indian gardens and that MT. Robinson
 has opened rich and charming field of h.
