Excerpt from Bird Hunting on the White Nile: A Naturalist's Experiences in the Soudan
The journey, of which this little book forms a narrative, was undertaken for the sole purpose of endeavouring to add to our knowledge of the birds and beasts of the Soudan. Birds, being my special delight, received most attention, and I make no excuse for the amount of space occupied in discussing them in the following pages. I have added in an appendix a full list of the birds observed or collected, but for a complete account of them I must refer the reader to the Ibis for 1901, pp. 237-278. Of the animals, owing to my ignorance, I have very little to say. The late Dr. John Anderson and Mr. W. E. de Winton, who had been working at the fauna of Egypt for a long time, were very anxious that I should make a collection of the mammals inhabiting the country about Khartoum. Accordingly I provided myself with all the necessary apparatus to capture and preserve animals, and hoping to find many, I took an extra collector to help with this part of the work.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an array of engaging and unique experiences from a naturalist's journey through the unexplored regions of the Sudan in 1900. The author, a dedicated bird enthusiast, ventured into this wild territory with the primary goal of observing and collecting avian species. However, the author's keen eye extended beyond the feathered inhabitants of the land, providing fascinating insights into the lives of various animal species and the culture of the local people. Drawing inspiration from earlier German explorers, the author sought to contribute to the growing body of scientific knowledge about the region. The absence of previous English literature on the natural history of Sudan made this expedition particularly significant. Through detailed descriptions of encountered species and meticulous observation of their behavior, the author aimed to shed light on the intricate tapestry of life in this underexplored corner of the world. Beyond scientific contributions, this book offers a glimpse into the challenges and rewards of scientific exploration in a remote and unforgiving environment. The rigors of traversing the desert landscape and the difficulties in obtaining cooperation from local communities add a layer of adventure to the narrative. The author's perseverance and dedication serve as an inspiration to aspiring naturalists and explorers. This book stands as a valuable resource for ornithologists and anyone interested in the natural history of Africa. It invites readers to embark on a captivating journey through the untamed wilderness of Sudan, unveiling the remarkable diversity of its avian population and offering a profound appreciation for the harmonious coexistence of humans and the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
