Book plate on the front paste down noting that the book was given as a first prize in biology in 1934. Not ex-library. Spine of the book has a very small dent and 1/2" fray at upper corner otherwise solid. Slight browning on a few pages and a couple of pages roughly opened. "This volume is concerned more with natural history than with sport; the few chapters devoted to the chase are intended to describe and illustrate various methods of hunting rather than to give lengthy descriptions of bags and blood." A scarce book.
