"While this is more a geographical, ethnological and economic
description of the Congo region, there are chapters on gorillas
and elephant hunting. In one episode, Barns was stung by a
poisonous caterpillar, leaving his trigger arm numb as he faced
a charging elephant. The photographic plate of the 'Ivory Floor'
at the London Docks is both spectacular and haunting," [Czech,

1785-1950 p.14].
