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.
