THROUGH THE PLEISTOCENE 23 



Kermit's battery was of the same type, except that in- 

 stead of a Springfield he had another Winchester shooting 

 the army ammunition, and his double-barrel was a Rigby. 

 In addition I had a Fox No. 12 shot-gun; no better gun 

 was ever made. 



There was one other bit of impedimenta, less usual for 

 African travel, but perhaps almost as essential for real en- 

 joyment even on a hunting trip, if it is to be of any length. 

 This was the "Pigskin Library," so called because most 

 of the books were bound in pigskin. They were carried 

 in a light aluminum and oil-cloth case, which, with its con- 

 tents, weighed a little less than sixty pounds, making a 

 load for one porter. Including a few volumes carried in 

 the various bags, so that I might be sure always to have one 

 with me, and Gregorovius, read on the voyage outward, 

 the list was as printed in Appendix F.
