can veldt the confines of the world’s 
most interesting faunal forms are nar- 
rowed, with a consequent and rapid 
decrease of the larger animals. Even 
with the most stringent of game laws, 
the lessening of territory can result in 
only this thing, for life in Afica is in- 
tense in the extreme, and perhaps no- 
where does the law of the survival of 
the fittest work more obviously. 
Mr. Maxwell has succeeded, to a re- 
markable degree, in the most difficult 
and dangerous form of photography, 
and his months of effort on the Dark 
Continent have resulted in what is 
probably the most complete and best 
collection of African big game photos 
yet published. 
His subjects include elephants (in 
many poses, including a charge), gi- 
raffe, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, buffalo 
and many small animals and birds. 
The narrative of his experiences is 
interesting and well told. Many dan- 
gers were faced and, unlike the usual 
African sporting adventure, no animals 
were shot except in an emergency, 
where human life was at stake, or for 
food.
