Log-Book of a Fisherman and Zoologist

Log-Book of a Fisherman and Zoologist By Frank Buckland Originally published in 1883, this collects various articles, all with a natural history theme, written by the author - a well-travelled zoologist. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
