Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography volume 1 page 42. A description of a hunting expedition through Namaqualand and Damaraland. Andersson intended to explore these countries right up to the Cunene or Nourse River, but the difficulties of the expedition, though encountered with indomitable courage, proved to be insuperable, and he had to turn back. He obtained, however, much valuable information, and his success as a hunter and collector was unique in this part of the continent. The coast-line of South- West Africa is carefully described, and there is an interesting account of the once-famed guano island, Ichaboe.
