SCARCE WORK IN THE ORIGINAL CLOTH. This book is an attempt to record vanishing species of African wildlife, their habits, colouration, spoor and populations. Stigand considered that with civilization advancing at such a rapid pace, there would be little opportunity in the future to find and observe animals still undisturbed by the encroachment of humans on the landscape. Very scarce.
