Sketches Of South African Bird Life Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Sketches of South African Bird-Life IT has been found necessary to make a few alterations in the scientific names of some of the birds in accordance with recent discoveries, and some additional Species have been added to those already described in the second edition; we have also added another ten illustrations. We are indebted to His Worship Cr. C. W. Giovanetti (mayor of Pretoria) for the gift of the picture illustrating the Black Vulture, the work of his late son (lieut. Giovanetti, rae), who made the supreme sacrifice during the Great War. To the public of South Africa who have been good enough to make a third edition necessary, we tender our thanks.
