Achtung Gams, by Walter Majer-Maschée. A picture-book for hunters and mountaineers. Small 4to., pp. 91, with 84 illustrations from photos by the author. Berlin: J. Neumann, 1939.

Whatever evil befell humanity from the Austrian Anschluss, it was at least a good thing for the chamois, since it put the crest of the Limestone Alps north of the Inn under a unified game commission and thus reduced poaching on both sides of the old frontier. The author, from his hut in the Karwendel, has observed the chamois on some of the most famous preserves of Tyrol, and has produced a book which pictorially is one of the best on the life cycle of this attractive animal.
