Abstract
MR. SANDEMAN has written a most interesting volume on his experience in South Africa. His party made their expedition to the Transvaal in an ox waggon. It is the story of their adventures, during the time they were hunting there, that is told in this volume. The book is, however, by no means a diary of the daily doings in the Transvaal. It abounds in reminiscences of Boer life, and accounts of the natural history of the country. In the latter respect Mr. Sandeman has shown that he is a good observer. We can only give a few extracts. Speaking of ant-bears, he says:—
