Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Hardcover. First edition of this engossing first book by the author. Thomas Alexander Barns ( 1881 1930) was an English businessman, explorer, big game hunter, author, artist, naturalist and lecturer connected with the opening up of Central Africa by Europeans in the early 20th century. Between 1919 and 1922 Barns led three Trans-African Research Expeditions through the Belgian Congo and the Tanganyika Territory. He became the first Englishman to describe the Ngorongoro Crater, a volcanic caldera in the Crater Highlands of what is now Tanzania, at that time the largest known crater in the world. In his The Wonderland of the Eastern Congo, Barns was an early observer of mountain gorillas and reported that he had observed them living in large troops and that all such troops included at least two adult females with young of different ages. Some of Barns's expeditions to Africa were sponsored by James John Joicey, an amateur entomologist. One of these trips lasted a year, and when travelling with his wife Barns collected many specimens of Lepidoptera for Joicey's Hill Museum at Witley. Barns was a member of the African Society, the Shikar Club, and the National Geographic Society and a correspondent for The African World, as well as publishing several books about Africa. He died in Chicago in 1930, struck by a taxi-cab driver. An obituary in The Entomologist called him "A notable and inspiring figure among the naturalists, geographers and sportsmen of Africa." In the original brown cloth, gilt and black vignette of a gorilla to the front cover, gilt lettering and black device to spine. Top edge gilt. Photographic frontispiece and 107 further photographic plates, with a folding map in the rear of Barns's expedition.
