Introductory, xi 



My friend George Garden, of Mlanje, Nyasaland, has 

 again allowed me to use some of his fine photographs, and 

 I would like to acknowledge his kindness here. 



I may say that most of the photographs of game are by 

 myself, but some are not as good or clear as I would like, 

 which is doubtless due to the effect of a damp climate on 

 the films. 



The photographs of the situtunga, sassaby, black and 

 red lechwe have been kindly sent me by Mr. J. E. Hughes, 

 who has had much experience of the country bordering 

 Lake Bangweolo, and who is, I believe, prepared to act as 

 guide to any sportsmen wishing to make a shooting trip in 

 these regions.
