In addition we killed, with the Fox shot-gun, Egyptian 
geese, yellow-billed mallards, francolins, spurfowl and sand 
grouse for the pot, and certain other birds for specimens. 
Kermit and I kept about a dozen trophies for ourselves; 
otherwise we shot nothing that was not used either as a 
museum specimen or for meat^—usually for both purposes. 
We were in hunting grounds practically as good as any 
that have ever existed; but we did not kill a tenth, nor a 
hundredth part of what we might have killed had we been 
willing. The mere size of the bag indicates little as to a 
man’s prowess as a hunter, and almost nothing as to the 
interest or value of his achievement.
