Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Flashlights in the Jungle: A Record of Hunting Adventures and of Studies in Wild Life in Equatorial East Africa
This is the sportsmanship of the future. The present writer does not mean to say that he or any other explorer, when and if they visited Africa, would not still use every opportunity of obtaining good specimens of rare wild beasts, birds, and reptiles for our museums, and most of all for the information of zoologists, who must perforce carry on many of their studies within the pale of civilisation. Neither does the writer of this Introduction condemn the killing of leopards, lions, hyaenas, jackals, hippopotamuses, or elephants at any rate in moderation where they become really dangerous to human beings, to the keeping of domestic animals, or to the maintenance of cultivated crops.
