A SHORT 

 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BIG GAME SHOOTING, ETC. 



Since it seems impossible that any one man should have a tho- 

 roughly comprehensive knowledge of all forms of sport in any 

 given district, it has been thought well to give here a short list 

 of the best books known to the present writer upon most of the 

 topics dealt with in these pages, in order that those specially 

 interested may see at a glance where to turn for further infor- 

 mation. There are, of course, a vast number of books written upon 

 sport in different parts of the globe ; but it is hoped that those 

 quoted below will be found to cover most of the ground. Where 

 opinions vary it is left to the reader to compare evidence, and judge 

 for himself. 



This seems an appropriate opportunity for acknowledging, in as 

 brief a space as possible, but as heartily as can be conveyed by 

 written words, the indebtedness of those employed upon these 

 volumes for the invaluable assistance rendered by a host of friends 

 too numerous for special mention, for information given, and photo- 

 graphs sent. It is hoped that the use made of their contributions 

 will be a sufficient reward for the trouble they have taken.
