When I wrote of protective coloration in 'African Game Trails,' I had had opportunity only to glance at Stigand's admirable book on the game of British East Africa. In this he discusses the subject in masterly fashion, and with a knowledge that could only come to a trained big game hunter and field naturalist gifted with exceptionally keen powers of observation and analysis."-----------------------------------------------------Contents:Chapter I. – IntroductoryChapter II. - Animal Life of the Country Chapter III. - Coloration of Game AnimalsChapter IV. - "Hunting" versus "Shooting"Chapter V. - The PlainsChapter VI. - Stalking GameChapter VII. - The River of the PlainsChapter VIII. - What is Learnt from SpoorChapter IX. - The BushChapter X. - The Game of Uganda and the Eastern CongoChapter XI. - The ForestChapter XII. - Trek and CampChapter XIII. - The Preservation of GameAppendix: Extensive Notes on Game Animals in Alphabetical Order Read more
