NATURAL HISTORY OF SOUTH AFRICA 



gathering together in book form the records of the 

 animals of South Africa, and to him I am indebted 

 for many facts and descriptions in this volume. 

 To the advanced student of Natural Histor)^, his 

 two volumes entitled The Fauna of South Africa 

 are a valuable aid. I am also indebted to Dr. 

 Oldfield Thomas, F.R.S., and Mr. M. A. C. Hinton 

 of the British Museum (Natural History), for their 

 kindness in revising the Systematic Index.
