In addition, we killed with the Fox shot-gun Egyptian 
geese, yellow-billed mallards, francolins, spur-fowl, and 
sand-grouse for the pot, and certain other birds for 
specimens. 
Kermit and I kept about a dozen trophies for our¬ 
selves ; 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 achieve¬ 
ment.
