PREFACE. 



THE country I try to describe borders on the 

 Great Kalihari Desert. The reader will find 

 it north-west of the Orange River, in South 

 Africa. This narrative is a continuation of 

 the description of the journey I published last 

 year, under the name of "A Hunter's Arcadia." 

 The large game, such as elephants, etc., will 

 be treated of in a future volume. As the 

 travelling in this part of the world is very 

 rough, none but strong heavy weapons should 

 be taken by those who propose following in 

 my footsteps.
