This book, "An Elementary Manual of Zoology Designed for the Use of Forest Officers in India," is specifically created for the Forest Department of India and the Imperial Forest School in Dehra Dun. It addresses the necessity for a concise zoological guide, recognizing the difficulties in obtaining information from scattered literature about Indian animal groups. While vertebrates have been extensively studied, insects and other creatures, which constitute the majority of Indian species, have received limited systematic attention. although they are valuable as references. The manual's purpose is to provide forest officers with a foundational understanding of the classification, significance, and behaviors of common animals. The author draws on their expertise in entomology from their work at the Indian Museum in Calcutta. Practical instructions for dissecting and examining specimens are included, facilitating hands on learning using easily accessible specimens in India. The classification primarily relies on structural characteristics, encouraging students to personally verify them through examination.

Everard Charles Cotes (1862–1944), an entomologist originally from England, was employed at the Indian Museum in Calcutta. authored various scientific publications and papers on entomology, along with two additional books inspired by his travels. His literary works include "An Elementary Manual of Zoology," "The Experimental Introduction of Insecticides into India: Including a Brief Account of Modern Insecticides and Their Application Methods," and " An Account of Insects and Mites which Attack the Tea Plant in India."
