Excerpt from Our Poor Relations: A Philozoic Essay Baker observes that when an animal is slain in the Nubian wilderness, within a few seconds a succession of birds, hitherto invisible, descend on the prey, and always in the same order. First the black-and-white crow arrives, then the buzzard, then the small vulture, then the large vulture, lastly the marabout stork. I believe, says Sir Samuel, that every species keeps to its own particular elevation, and that the atmos phere contains regular strata of birds of prey, who, invisible to the human eye at their enor mous height, are constantly resting upon their widespread wings and soaring in circles, watch ing with telescopic sight the world beneath.

The sixty years between 1773 and 1833 determined British paramountcy in India. Those years were formative too for British Eurasians. By the 1820s Eurasians were an identifiable and vocal community of significant numbers particularly in the main Presidency towns. They were valuable to the administration of government although barred in the main from higher office. The ambition of their educated elite was to be accepted as British subjects, not to be treated as native Indians, an ambition which was finally rejected in the 1830s.
