"While primarily a description of British East Africa,
the author provides considerable information on big game,
its location, methods of stalking, and the game reserves.
He lists rhinoceros, hippopotamus, and zebra as pests and
describes a curious creature called the gu-gu, an
apelike creature with but one eye and a huge spike at
the end of one arm. Indeed! [Czech. An Annotated Bibliography
of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785 to 1950, p.42]."
