Mendelssohn I.831 "An excellent sporting book on the game and wild animals of Portuguese East Africa and the Eastern Transvaal. Few authors appear to have had so intimate a knowledge of the game animals of these districts, and the information afforded as to the lions of the country, and their habits, is particularly valuable to hunters and naturalists alike."
