Synopsis
A film record of the Vernay-Faunthrope expedition that was organized by Mrs. A. S. Vernay on behalf of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. As narrated by Comdr. George M. Dyott, the group travels all over India after paying its respects to Lord Reading, the Viceroy. Highlights include observing elephants in southern India, hunting rhinoceros with the Maharaja of Nepal, and a climaxing tiger hunt (also in Nepal). The life of the Indian people is depicted to some extent--for example, in scenes of bazaars and funerals in central India.
