Czech (Kenneth) An Annotated Bibliography of Big Game Hunting Books 1785 – 1999, page 207: 'Neumann hunted throughout British East Africa, hunting rhino and oryx near the Machenzie River, then travelling to the Jambeni Range for elephant, impala, and rhinoceros. Near Mt. Kenya he bagged numerous elephant and also collected rhino and lion. In Ndorobo territory, he stalked more elephant, particularly near the Seya River. On a second expedition, this time toward the Tana River, he again bagged elephant, then returned to Ndorobo lands for further tuskers. On a trek toward Lake Rudolph, Neumann collected topi, lion, rhino, hippopotamus, giraffe, and a variety of plains animals. The coloured plate of butterflies was highly prized by entomologists and was often removed'. A classic work of African big game hunting literature.
