| Summary | "Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon" by Robert Armitage Sterndale is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This extensive work serves as a comprehensive guide to the mammals found in the Indian subcontinent and Ceylon, highlighting various species, their characteristics, and habitats. The text aims to be accessible to a general audience, avoiding overly technical language to engage readers who may not have a scientific background. The opening of the book introduces Sterndale's motivations for creating this work, addressing a gap in popular literature on Indian mammals. He acknowledges previous works, particularly that of Dr. Jerdon, while emphasizing his own observations and experiences in the field. The introduction sets the tone for a conversational style, aiming to simplify complex zoological concepts and provide readers with a detailed understanding of mammalian life in the region, encompassing both common and lesser-known species, as well as acknowledging the importance of anecdotal experiences in natural history.
