London, Ivor Nicholson and Watson, 1934.
First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original cloth.

Lang himself has left almost no other trace, which in the hunting field is perhaps not a defect: the one-book hunter-authors, publishing their single testament and vanishing back into the bush, are precisely the volumes the Africana and sporting bibliographies prize.
