In Wildest Africa -^ 



himself must take in hand the intelligent preservation ot 

 the wild animals. The measures of protection must be 

 suited to the varying conditions of the wide hunting 

 grounds of foreign lands, and must not be considered 

 only from the stay-at-home point of view. 



This is not to be done by mere laments over the 

 extermination of wild life, or even by merely putting- 

 limitations on the enjoyment of the chase by the individual 

 hunter. On the contrary, a beneficial result can be 

 obtained only by all European travellers in those countries 

 interchanging their experiences, collecting material, and 

 exertine themselves to the utmost and in concert to devise 

 measures that will, as far as may be, put a stop to the 

 threatened extermination. 



This is a great and noble task.
