Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of South Africa, Vol. 1 IN the presenting of these volumes on the birds of South Africa, it has been my endeavour to create in the minds of my readers a love and a keen appreciation of our beautiful and useful allies. From my earliest youth I have made an intimate study of the creatures of mountain, veld, forest, and stream in their native haunts. The results of some of these studies have already been published in book form in the Natural History of South Africa and Snakes of South Africa. My intention was to have published these volumes at an earlier date, but, owing to unforeseen circumstances, their publication has been held over. The results of several years of research and study of the birds of South Africa were recorded in a number of diaries. These records were lent to a naturalist friend with permission to take notes from them. Alas! He lost them all. It was a sad loss to me, resulting in further years of investigation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of South Africa, Vol. 1 of 4 The series of volumes of which this is the first are intended to supply information about the ways and habits of the creatures of veld, forest, mountain, and stream, so that school teachers, senior pupils, and the general public may have a ready means of learning to distinguish friend from foe in the lower animal kingdom. Wherever civilised man penetrates he destroys the native animals and birds indiscriminately. His children are encouraged to sally forth with catapult, air gun, and shot gun and wantonly destroy the lives of innocent and often eminently useful creatures. He even encourages them to make collections of the eggs of wild birds, thereby diminishing the numbers of insectivorous birds which are of immense economic value to the country. When I think of my youthful days, I burn with shame and remorse, for, in the light of knowledge subsequently gained, I am conscious of having taken the lives of numbers of animals and birds of great economic value, and the lives of many others, although of little or no value economically, yet innocent of harm as far as man is concerned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of South Africa, Vol. 1 of 4: A History of the Origin of South African IT has been said that History unenlightened by Philosophy is no better than an Old almanac. This surely cannot man that the sirnple narration Of the events which have led to, or in themselves may have been so many steps in, the development of a country, is without value. It is sincerely hoped that this is not so, for in the present work there will be found nothing Of the nature Of a philosophical disquisition on the springs Of human con duct, or on the origin and growth Of civil society, nor any views respecting the right principles to be adopted in the formation and government of Colonies; yet it is believed that a straightforward. Unbiassed account Of the circumstances Of hardship, endurance and perseverance under which the Eastern Province took its rise and con tinned to struggle for so many years will be read with interest, and the lack Of philosophy pardoned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of South Africa Mammals, Vol. 4 of 4 The name of Elephant Shrew has been, given to them because of the elongated, trunk-like snout, giving the head somewhat the appearance of that of a miniature elephant. There are several species or kinds of Jumping or Elephant Shrews inhabiting South Africa. All of them are of great economic value to man, for the reason that their diet consists almost entirely of insect life which they seek on the ground, and under dead leaves and grass. Their sense of smell is exceedingly keen, enabling them to locate insects concealed from sight. In captivity we found they devoured with avidity almost any species of insect which we gave them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Africa, Vol. 1 of 2: In Two Volumes That was what had just been done in the Transvaal when my idea of going to South Africa had ripened itself into a resolution. Clearly there was an additional reason for going. Here had been done a very high-handed thing as to which it might be the duty of a Briton travelling with a pen in his hand to make a strong remonstrance. Or again it might be his duty to pat that sturdy Briton on the back, -with pen and ink, - and hold his name up to honour as having been sturdy in a righteous cause. If I had premeditated a journey to South Africa a year or two since, when South Africa was certainly not very much in men's mouths, there was much more to reconcile me to the idea now that Confederation and the Transvaal were in every man's mouth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of South Africa From 1873 to 1884, Vol. 1 of 2: Twelve Eventful Years These are the first volumes prepared by me that overlap the work of another author. Count Wilmot's History of Our Own Times in South Africa, 1872 - 1898, in three volumes, was published in 1897 - 1899, and I certainly would not have trespassed upon that period if it had not been that the work alluded to has for some years been out of print, with very little or no prospect of its being reissued. I communicated with the honourable gentleman, its author, who in the kindest possible manner replied that he had no objection whatever to my continuing my work, and therefore I took in hand the volumes now before the reader. As he was in this field before me, my warmest thanks are. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I fear there are a_ good many omissions and that much revision will be necessary, but my hope is, that the publication of this book may stimulate the energy of many interested in Natural History to collect further material and to record more facts about the life-history of South African animals, for it is the want of specimens, and of information regarding them, that has so much hampered me in my present efforts.

Great ﬂocks attack swarms of migratory locusts and follow them up until they are exterminated. They also feed on the eggs and young Wingless migratory locusts. When locusts are not available, this Starling feeds on grass hoppers and beetles, and will in fact eat almost any kind of insect. It also subsists on the soft red substance attached to the hard black seeds of a willow tree, which is planted by Government on sand dunes and drifting sands along the seacoast. The black seeds are voided with the excrement or thrown up from the crop, and willows sprout up from them all over the neighbourhood. The wattled Starling is one of the farmers' most efficient bird allies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Since then the whole volume has necessarily been recast, and it was not possible to go to page proof till the first chapter had been approved. Hence the delay in the appearance of the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of South Africa, Vol. 1 In it I have endeavoured to arrange the subject matter in such a manner that a tyro in ornithology may be enabled to identify a specimen with a certain amount of ease and accuracy. The plan and arrangement adopted is based upon that followed by Mr. Eugene Oates in the volumes on Birds in the Fauna of British India, viz., to give a full description, illustrated where necessary, of the characters which define the different genera, followed by a key to the species included in each. Under each species references are given to the author by whom it was first described, to the principal writers on South African ornithology by whom it is mentioned, to the volume of the Catalogue of Birds in the Collection of the British Museum in which it is described, and to Captain Shelley's Birds of Africa, as well as to a figure, when one exists. The majority of the descriptions have been taken from specimens in the collection of the South African Museum at Cape Town, the remainder from examples in the Albany Museum at Grahamstown, the Durban Museum, Natal, and my own collection. A few of the species described are not represented in South African collections, and in these cases I have either consulted the original descriptions or have examined the type specimens in the British or Berlin Museums.
