¶ ‘In this often reprinted work Forsyth described hunting blackbuck, gazelle, and nilgai in the Narbada Valley, with bison and sambur collected in the Mahadeo Hills.

James Forsyth (1838–1871), administrator and traveller in India. ‘... Forsyth acquired a wide reputation as a hunter and in 1862 published a comprehensive treatise entitled The Sporting Rifle and its Projectiles. Forsyth, who was attached to the Bengal staff corps, made a complete tour of the Central Provinces of India in 1862–4, penetrating to Amarkantak, near the sources of the Narbada, the Mahanadi, and the Son. He thence travelled across the plain of Chhattisgarh to the sál (Shorea robusta) forests in the far east. Forsyth returned to England in 1870, but died at 38 Manchester Street, Manchester Square, London, on 1 May 1871 leaving his book [the above] to be published posthumously in November that year. Originally intended as a guide and general description, its value in the late twentieth century lies in its description of forests, particularly their extent, species diversity, and management practice, as the contribution of the Indian forest service to early conservation is more fully appreciated ...’
