About This Item
Natural history Monographs . 1st. Ed. Pub. Nisbet & Co. 1931. pp.xvi, 327 with all plates present and fold-out map to rear. 8vo. Hardback. Some spotting at ends, o/w. contents fine. Original cloth boards good to vg. showing some marking and wear to extremities. Comes with three fascinating, handwritten, airmail letters from Captain Pitman, one to J. Feely (then Editor of The Game Ranger) and the other two to Peter Hitchins. In 1951, Pitman moved to London from where he kept up active correspondence with other naturalists. His correspondence was key for his zoological, herpetological and ornithological research. Amongst the subjects covered in these letters, Pitman is most grateful for being given honorary membership of the Game Rangers Association. His second edition of Snakes of Uganda was published in 1974 and at the time of his death he had completed the transcript of a book on elephants. Both of these works are mentioned in these letters which were written in 1973 and 1974, not long before he passed away in 1975.
