A GAME RANGER ON SAFARI + A GAME WARDEN AMONG HIS CHARGES

(1) A GAME RANGER ON SAFARI

Red leatherette boards with titling on spine, new end pages, pp. xiv + 305 + fold-out map at the back, illustrated with b&w plates.

"The scarcer of Percival's works, this is similar to his A Game Ranger's Note Book in its systematic approach to examining various species of big game in Kenya Colony. There are plenty of hunting episodes after rhinoceros, buffalo, lion and a plethora of antelope. There is also an interesring tidbit on unknown 'monsters' near Lake Victoria, and excellent chapters detailing the effect of human settlement, disease, drought and war on game animals"

(2) A GAME WARDEN AMONG HIS CHARGES 

Red leatherette boards with titling on spine, new end pages, pp. xvi + 336 + fold-out map at the back, illustrated with b&w plates. Light foxing on first and last pages, else very good.

"The author examines a variety of game while relating his hunting experiences after rhinoceros, elephant near the River Kerio south of Lake Rudolf, lion in Uganda, and with long chapters on gorillas and crocodiles: 'In shooting a crocodile, no matter what species, the safest shot is in the back"".
