RED DEER AND CARIBOU.
Unexplained Antipathy Of the Latter
for the Former.

The disappearance of caribou before
the invading herds of red or Virginia
deer is one of the puzZling facts of nat
ural history The red deer are not half
the size of the caribou, yet it is beyond
dispute that even where the latter exist
in largest numbers they will rapidly
disappear before the advance of the
former. Years ago caribou abounded
in the woods of northern Maine and
in the province of Quebec. Then the
graceful little red deer, driven north
and west by the wolves, gradually
spread into the home of the caribou,
and within season or two the latter
had become as scarce in their old home
as the red deer previously had been.
On the other hand, the north country
of Canada, in the neighborhood Of Lake
St John and ST. Maurice, which form
arly supported vast herds of deer, has
been completely deserted by them for
many years past. though moose and
caribou are plentiful. Equally far north
in the OOttawa and Gatineau country
red deer tand moose are found in very
large numbers, but no caribou. Owing
largely, 1t is supposed. to the increase
In the Ottawa and Gatineau country
the red deer is rapidly extending to
the south and east, and specimens have
been seen and killed in parts of the
country north of Quebec, where they
had not been seen before for more than
= generation. The Indian and other
old hunters are already foretelling the
disappearance of the caribou from this
part Of the country, where they are at
present very abundant.
There is theory that the instinct
Of the caribou tells them that an inva-
sion of their feeding grounds by the
deer is due to the pursuit of the later
by wolves and that it is the horror of,
these pests which leads them to fore
sake any territory to which they seem
to know that their distasteful neigh
bors are fleeing for refuge There are
not wanting careful observers among
Canadian woodsmen who attribute
jealousy TO the little Virginia deer, at
the approach of the mating season, the
seton of the caribou in fleeing with
It's mate from the company and the
country of his gay little rival. The
problem is most interesting one, and
Is engaging the attention of many in
