The great dry heat which we encountered played sad havoc with photographing apparatus, and all my own exposures were complete failures.

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.
