260 Wild Life in Central Africa. 



A great number of books have been written on American 

 shooting, and one of the very best is Van Dyke's " Still- 

 Hunter/' and I remember how I enjoyed reading Baillie- 

 Grohman's book on British Columbia. 



Mr. F. C. Selous' " Hunting Trips in British North 

 America" is very interesting, and so is Mr. J. G. Millais' 

 " Newfoundland and its Untrodden Ways." Mr. H. 

 Hesketh Prichard's volume, " Hunting Camps in Wood 

 and Wilderness," is also a work much above the average. 



The literature about European sport (especially the 

 northern parts of that continent) is a very varied collection, 

 and there are few authors who can compare with Mr. Abel 

 Chapman, whose books " Wild Norway" and "Wild 

 Spain " are full of good matter. Then an old work is 

 Lloyd's " Field Sports of the North of Europe." A more 

 recent account of sport is Sir Henry Pottinger's " Flood, 

 Fell, and Forest," in two volumes, and other authors whose 

 writings are well worth reading are Sir Henry Seton Karr, 

 who also wrote on American sport, Mr. E. B. Kennedy 

 ("Thirty Seasons in Scandinavia"), and numerous others. 



Since giving this list of writers on British sport, I 

 remember other interesting authors, such as Sir R. Payne 

 Gallwey, Speedy, Moray Brown, Scott, Shand, "Nimrod's" 

 " Life of John Mytton," Jeffries, Jones, Hartley, Gathorne- 

 Hardy, "The Badminton Small and Large Game Shooting," 

 and the " Encyclopaedia of Sport." 



Most of us have read the best known books on shooting 

 and natural history in Britain, and they can be numbered 

 by the dozen, but the best include the works of St. John 

 ("Wild Sports in the Highlands," etc.), Sir John Colquhoun 

 ("Moor and Loch," etc.), Lieut. -Col. Peter Hawker (on 

 wildfowling), Mr. J. G. Millais (" The Natural History of 

 British Game Birds," " British Deer and their Horns, etc.), 

 Morris, Dixon, Corballis, Daniel (an old author 1801-13), 

 Mr. Abel Chapman ("Bird Life of the Borders"), Scrope 

 (on deerstalking), Grimble (on shooting and fishing), 

 Lamond (on fishing), Calderwood (on salmon), Malloch, 

 Hodson, Stewart, Tod, Leitch (these five write on wet-fly
