BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE. 
Travel and Adventure in South-east Africa: being the Narrative of

Hunter’s Wanderings in Africa,’ a work which, in addition to 
exciting episodes of sport, contained reprints of two valuabie papers 
on rhinoceroses and antelopes read before the Zoological Society, 
and stamped the author as an observer of no ordinary character. 
During his residence in London in the above year he frequently 
visited the Natural-History Museum, where Dr. Giinther and 
Mr. Oldfield Thomas called his attention to the sorry condition of
