From the preface: 'In this volume I have endeavoured to give descriptions of the Game-Birds and Water-fowl found within South African limits - that is to say, south of a line drawn through the Zambesi River from east to west. With regard to the habits of many species, I am greatly indebted to Serg. C.G. (Finch) Davies, Cape Mounted Riflemen, whose excellent field work has been of the greatest help to me. All notes referring to Pondoland and Griqualand have been communicated to me by him.'
