AMERICAN BISON.

This creature is only found in
Northern America: and is almost ex-
tinet, the few specimens extant being
mostly confined to Park Zoos and cer-
tain private collections.
Commonly called the "Bural }, /"
the Bison formerly supplied the In
dian with much for which to be
thankful. Tents were made from its
skin. Clothes were made from :ts
hide. Properly dressed, the skin of
the Bison, made into shield, will
turn an arrow, and, in some In
stances, a bullet.
