Dealer Notes
Mendelssohn I.487, Czech 85 : "long chapters describing his hunting experiences after buffalo, eland, lion, elephant, rhinoceros, and leopard . . . Though he bagged a number of elephants he was concerned that continued hunting would extirpate the animal "merely for the purpose of supplying Europe with ivory ornaments and billiard balls . . ""
