II IS owing To the generosity of the mil

on exhibition anywhere else in the world
Ihev are the white raccoon dog. the Pen
insula bear from Alaska. the Admiralty
Islands bear. also from Alaska, and the
little brown crane captured about fifty
miles from Nome.
The only animal that is being privately
preserved from extinction in this country
is the American bison better known as
the buffalo The largest herd is that founded
by the late Austin Corbin at Blue Mountain

Hampshire The herd now numbers nearly
two hundred and all the animals are in
splendid condition.

this is not the case with John Goodnight,
