VI. PREFATORY NOTE 



Photographs," while I have to thank Mr. E. H. Ivy for 

 the photographs of the Cape Eedwing, on p. iJ04, and the 

 Ostrich, on p. 527, and Mr. Austin Koberts for that of the nest 

 of the Goliath Heron on p. 57. 



I am in hopes of being able to continue this series with a 

 volume on the South African Eeptiles.
