Excerpt from Supplement to the Game Animals of Africa In the Field for 1909, vol. Cxiv. P. 889, Mr. Pocock has given reasons for considering the so-called Ward's zebra (supra, p. 65) as a hybrid, born in Messrs. Barnum and Bailie's Menagerie, between the typical zebra and Chapman's bonte-quagga. This soicalled species, to which Professor Ridgway inadvertently gave the technical name of E. Wardi in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for 1909, p. 798, must accordingly disappear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Life-Histories of African Game Animals, Vol. 1 At present we know so little regarding the habits and life-history of the various game animals that we find our selves at a loss to account for many of their most obvious peculiarities. For instance, the distribution of almost any game animal offers some features which with our present knowledge are inexplicable. It is well known that every animal, or plant for that matter, has strongly within it the tendency to enlarge its distributional area until it covers the habitable earth. It is equally Well known, although not so universally kept in mind, that the distribution Of each species marks the limits within which it is able successfully to compete with its environment. It would appear, there fore, a comparatively easy matter to determine the factors which are accountable for the distribution of any species; and yet no task in natural history is more difficult.

Excerpt from The Big Game of Africa This volume is not only a narrative of my own wanderings and experiences in that continent, but is also intended to be a guide book to those many who are interested in the life and habits of the African game animals as well as in the best way of stalking these with either camera or gun. For in the many good books on hunting in the Dark Continent, little or nothing has been said that may help the would-be African big game hunter in the selection of the proper outfit, guns, cameras, curing materials, etc., nor do they give him any definite information as to where, when and how to secure the game he wants, and none of them contains the most necessary introduction to the ki-swahili language, even a slight knowledge of which will prove of immense help to the sportsman when hunting in British East Africa, German East Africa and Uganda. This book is the result of my own experiences and observations during three different expeditions to British East Africa, and con tains the most reliable information I was able to obtain from other sportsmen and professional hunters, as well as from the wild sons of that wonderful game country who, themselves, spend most of their lives roaming around among the Big Game of Africa.

Excerpt from The Game Animals of Africa Hitherto those interested in the sporting animals of Africa, if they wished to gain information upon particular species, have been compelled to search through many volumes before they could attain their object. This book is intended to obviate, as far as possible, that defect. Within the following pages will be found details, many of them entirely new, concerning all the more important of the game mammals occurring throughout the length and breadth of Africa. It is not claimed for this work that it is complete and final. Africa is not yet fully explored, and although during the last half-century that great continent has yielded up innumerable secrets of zoology, the discoveries of recent years suggest that forms of animal life, at present unknown to science, may still be awaiting the naturalist and the hunter in the remoter and still unknown regions of the interior. It may, however, be claimed that, concerning known species, as much information as it is possible to comprise within the limits of one stout volume is to be found within the following pages. This information has been conveyed in a reasonably popular form, and the non-scientific reader should have little difficulty in laying his finger quickly upon the facts of which he may be in search. It should add to the interest of readers to know that the great bulk of the book has been contributed by well-known African sportsmen, who have had intimate personal experience of the animals of which they treat.

Excerpt from The Game of British East Africa It is civilised weapons alone, especially when in the hands of irresponsible black men, that irreparably upset the balance of Nature. The black hunter, armed with primitive weapons, and the beast of prey, take their toll of life, but appear never to exterminate or even sensibly diminish the number of game. Civilisation is advancing with such rapid strides in British East Africa that year by year it becomes more difficult to find and observe game still undisturbed by the sportsman and hunter. Another generation and perhaps there will be little or no opportunities of observing these animals as they existed before the net of civilisation had been drawn round them. It thus behoves anyone who has had the fortune to be thrown much with wild and unsophisticated animals to leave as careful a record as possible of their ways and manners of living while there is still opportunity, and to study them in their natural state. It is this consideration which has induced me to attempt the task of describing the wild life of the country to the best of my ability. I quite realise that I am not specially qualified for the work, and that there are many with greater experience of the country and game than I possess. However, I hope that perhaps in later years, when the lion no longer roars over the plain and the rhino has ceased to wander in the open, that this book, in conjunction with many others of a similar nature, may be of some little value in reconstructing what will then be past natural history. If the deficiencies of this book only bring home to any more experienced sportsmen, who have nut yet done so, the necessity for recording their observations, it will not be without its value.

Excerpt from Central African Game and Its Spoor This handbook is intended as a help or guide to the young or inexperienced sportsman who intends making a hunting trip to Central Africa. Spoor cannot be put on paper to exactly resemble the real thing. In drawing these spoor the outlines have been well defined, and it must be noted that they are taken from picked specimens (distinct impressions in the soil). As may be surmised the finding and sketching of these spoor and dang has cost not a little time and trouble, and in the case of the lesser known or scarcer animals much questioning of native hunters before the information has been deemed reliable enough to be put on paper. It will take months, and perhaps years, of hard experience to tell at a glance to what animal a footprint belongs, and the authors themselves have often felt the want of some fairly reliable handbook while in the field, especially on going to a new country and meeting with species they have not seen before. Before one can question a native a certain knowledge of the language is necessary, and this in itself takes much study. The authors, therefore, have given the native names of the different game. Many of the ideas and conclusions put forward by the authors may not meet with the approval of perhaps older and more experienced sportsmen, but at the same time they are the result of experience, and differences of opinion concerning the habits of animals arise between most sportsmen, no two holding exactly the same views. It will be noticed that the words "generally," "often," or "usually" are of frequent occurrence in describing the habits of animals. We think it the greatest mistake to say that any animal will do this or that, as the behaviour of no two animals is any more alike than that of two human beings. Moreover the same animal may have totally different habits in different localities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
