Synopsis

Excerpt from Notes on the Birds of Damara Land and the Adjacent Countries of South-West Africa In introducing to the public the following ornithological notes by my late friend Charles John Andersson, I purpose, in the first instance, to lay before my readers a short biographical sketch of Mr. Andersson's career which appeared in a Swedish periodical, the 'Svenska Jagarforbundets nya Tidskrift' for 1868, and for a translation of which I am indebted to my valued friend L. Lloyd, Esq., of Gothenburgh. The details given in this sketch will enable the reader to judge of the circumstances under which Mr. Andersson made his ornithological observations, and will be followed by some remarks, in the form of a preface, relating chiefly to the mode which I have adopted in arranging the results of those observations as contained in his MS. notes, for the purpose of publication in the present volume. Biographical Sketch. Charles John Andersson was born in Wermeland in 1827, was educated at the public high school in Wenersborg, and was afterwards a student at the University of Lund for a single term. In early life he evinced a great passion for the chase, natural history, and travel, and, according to what he himself relates, his aspirations were at an early period turned towards the deserts of Africa.
