Chinese bookseller's ticket at back. illustrated from photographs. 50 pp. 1 vols. Square 12mo. Only known copy. Only known copy of this engaging account of the month-long cruise of the Lark in the Woosung mudflats in November and December 1935. The party comprised four sportsmen Len Biggs the chronicler Bob Biggs Bob Whitmore and Dick Martin and a crew of four and their bag was more than 200 birds shot and retrieved chiefly duck and teal. The party travelled on the motor cruiser Lark with a sailing sampan Victor and converted lifeboat Marion in tow. The book takes the form of a diary with notes on expenses and other practical aspects of organizing the outing. Biggs acknowledges H.T. Wade's With Boat and Gun in the Yangtze Valley 1895; 2nd ed. 1910: "Although the enormous flocks of geese swan and duck that used to be a really wonderful sight seem to have decreased in numbers considerably there are still ideal spots for the wildfowler to shoot from still so many bird ." <br/>The typesetting and paper points to a local Chinese production and a handful of typographical errors are lightly corrected in pencil.<br/>RARE and interesting.

The lengthier January 1938 issue with Shanghai under Japanese control contains Notes to the Table of Wholesale Prices July-December 1937 explaining the war effects during that period and whether numbers were hypothetical or based on real transactions etc. during the war period.
