Wanderings of a Bird-Lover in Africa

Abstract

THIS book, written with an obvious enthusiasm, will be appreciated more by those who know South Africa and its fauna than by naturalists living in the northern hemisphere. The birds are often described by hints atcoloration and habits, and will probably pass unrecognized by strangers to the land. The letterpress is pleasantly and graphically written, and the illustrations—one in colour the remainder in pencil—are delightful.
