EXTRACTS FROM THE PRESS. 
“Captain Swayne’s narrative of Seventeen Trips through Somaliland . . . 
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 sportman’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.
