PREFACE 



constantly referred to Mr. R. Lydekker's Game 

 Animals of Africa in writing the chapters on 

 Hunter's Hartebeeste, and the big game of Jubaland. 



All the photographs, from which the illustrations 

 were made, were taken by myself, except the three on 

 page 138, which were given me by Mr. F. Elliott. 



I should indeed be ungrateful if I did not mention 

 my great indebtedness to Mr. E. A. Reeves, the 

 Map Curator and Instructor to the Royal Geo- 

 graphical Society. It is to his tuition and constant 

 help and encouragement that I owe whatever measure 

 of success I may have obtained in geographical 

 surveying.
