the New Siberian group, which still bears
his own name Surveys subsequently
made by the government in those fslauCs
indicated that the soil is teeming with
the bones, tusks and teeth of mammoths,
while the adjacent mud banks exposed at
low tide are equally prolific.
Some idea Of their abundance may be
gathered from the account given by Dr.
Bunge who visited Liakhoff Island from
1882 to 1884, and in the course OF three
short summers collected no less than $500
selected specimens. In the New-Siberian
Islands the thermometer now often falls
to 80 degrees Centigrade below freezing
point. so tina, collecting is an impossibility
during the winter. With regard to the
amount of mammoth ivory that comes into
numerous nor so accurate as might be de-
sired. 1t is stated, however. that in 1921
a Yakut brought back 800 puds tforty
pounds to the pud) from the New Siberian
Islands, and between the years 1873 and
1881 the amount annually sold in fakutsk
ranged between ] 500 and 2,000 puds, in ad-
dition to that disposed of at other towns.
Many writer's speak of seeing boatloads OF
tusks on the Lena and Yenisei-a steamer
which carried NordenskiOld in 1875 having
a cargo of over 100 pud. About the year
1910 DR.. Middendorff who visited the coun-
try, estimated that the annual output OF
Siberian ivory reached 10000 POUNDS, rep
resenting at least hundred individual
mammoths, so that the total number OF
animals whose remains have been exported
since the conquest of Siberia must be be-
tween 10000 and 10000 And since Mid
dendorff's estimate probably errs on The
side of being too low, the numbers may
have been considerably in excess of this.

Peacocks and Tigers.
From the London spectator.)


Peacocks and tigers are believed usually
to live together. There is also a common
jungle legend that leopards and tigers can
fascinate peacocks. The story may origi-
nate in the fact that both leopards and
some mysterious relationship between
them Colonel Tytler had an experience
which showed that the natives believe in
the story. When stalking a peacock he
was rather surprised to see how near il al
lowed him to approach. The bird paid no
attention to him, but was gazing intently,
as II fascinated. at a little patch OF jungle
just In front. Looking in the same direc-
tion he saw a leopard stealing on its belly
toward the bird, which continued to re-
main still in the same position. He was
greatly surprised. for he had never even
heard OF leopards in that neighborhood,
but his astonishment was greater when, on
his raising his gun, one barrel of which
was loaded with ball. and covering the
animal, the leopard threw up its paws, and
shrieked in voice hoarse with terror:
''Nehin, Sahib. nehin, nut chulao" Ono,
sir, no, don't fre').
He said that for a moment he thought
he must be going mad, and all the Indian
tales OF enchanted princes and fairies, were
wolves, and the like Mashed through his
recollection. The next moment he saw a
man very cieverly disguised in leopard
skin, with well-stuffed head. and a bow
and arrow in one paw, standing before
him. The man so dressed was a profess
sional fowler, who said that in that dis.
guise he could always approach near
enough to shoot the birds with bow and
arrow, and sometimes to catch them in
his hand.
