add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "A Hunter's Wanderings in Africa," by Frederick Courteney Selous. Selous was a lad of nineteen when he began his career as a professional elephant hunter. Two chapters, upon the South African rhinoceroses and antelopes, were read as papers before the Zoological Society. The second is admirably illustrated by plates giving heads of every species to be found within a certain well defined limit, the author seems to have been a good observer and scattered through his work are many notes on the natural history of the country over which he hunted.
