EXTRACTS FROM THE PRESS. 



"Sportsmen and naturalists alike will welcome the appearance of Mr. Rowland 

 Ward's Horji Measurements and Weights of the Great Game of the World. It is as 

 complete a record as could now be compiled of the leading trophies of the chase, 

 gathered from all quarters of the globe, chiefly, if not exclusively, by the enterprise and 

 prowess of Englishmen, and leaves nothing in this respect to be desired. Xo important 

 collection of specimens has escaped due notice, and the information which is given 

 concerning them is not to be found elsewhere. We may add that the copious illustrations 

 with which the book is adorned, whether they are the result of photography or of engrav- 

 ing, are excellent, and worthy in every way to bear company with the letterpress of 

 the distinguished naturalist and pre-eminently skilful taxidermist with which they are 

 associated. ' ' — The \ Vorld. 



"An elegant volume, and a valuable work of reference. Profusely illustrated, Mr. 

 Ward's record will be necessary to the library of every well-appointed country house." 

 — Daily Telegraph. 



" In these days, when every one is striving 'to beat the record,' it is only right that 

 sportsmen should have clearly put before them the results already arrived at as regards 

 the size of the trophies and the weight of game-animals already obtained by their brother 

 Nimrods. No one is in so good position to do this as Mr. Rowland Ward, to whose 

 well-known 'Jungle' in Piccadilly all the leading shooters of the present day send their 

 ' heads ' to be mounted and their ' skins ' to be stuffed." — Xature. 



' ' Mr. Rowland Ward is to be congratulated on the energy and perseverance which 

 have enabled him to complete his arduous task, and thus produce a book which, while 

 invaluable to the sportsman, is at the same time of the highest importance to the working 

 zoologist. " — Natural Science. 



' ' Both the sporting and zoological world owe a large debt of gratitude to Mr. Rowland 

 Ward for this handsomely got up volume, and he deserves the best thanks of all those 

 interested in the subject of Big Game for the thorough and conscientious manner in 

 which he has completed a very laborious task." — Land and Water. 



" To sportsmen the utility of these voluminous records can hardly be over-estimated. 

 In the majority of cases the accounts of the antlers and horns are illustrated by engravings ; 

 and photographs of many of the animals )-ielding them, with the sportsmen grouped 

 around, are interspersed throughout the volume. We have thus the African elephant, 

 the Java ox {Bos banting), the Cape buffalo, and the Thibet and Pallah antelopes." 

 —Field. 



" Mr. Rowlaiid Ward has unquestionably produced a volume that will be more than 

 acceptable in many a country house and club smoking-room. The classification is good, 

 and does credit even to a naturalist of Mr. Rowland Ward's experience." — Pall Mall.
