EXTRACTS FROM THE PRESS. 



"Captain Swaync's narrative of Seveitleen Trips through Soinalilaiid . . . 

 serves to remind us how rapidly the waste places in the world are getting filled up. 

 His account of the big game shooting has a popular interest . . . minute information 

 for the sportsman's guidance." — Standard. 



"Will be carefully studied by those who have been there, and those — and there 

 are many — who have an eager desire to go. It is full of thrilling episodes. . . . 

 The last chapter . . . contains some highly interesting notes on the wild fauna of 

 the country. The appendices, which deal with the fitting out of Somali expeditions 

 and with the physical geography, have a distinct value." — Times. 



" Captain Swayne's Seventeen Trips through Somaliland seems entitled to more 

 attention and authority than most hunters. Contains one of the fullest accounts yet 

 published of the life, customs, and characteristics of the restless Somali tribes." — 

 Scotsman.
