The American Bison society was
organized in the strong belief that the
people desired to have the buffalo pre-
served and that they would give their
support to n body of men able and
willing to work indefatigably for its
preservation.

the western plains TO tremble beneath
their hoofs and which constituted one

them some six or seven hundred head,

Ut IS probable that during the

be 4 renewal of the effort to have
the national government estab-
n bsh and maintain herd of
American bison, or buffaloes. as
the nucleus for the preservation of
this picturesque native animal. which
is in such grave danger of extinction.
The wanton slaughter OF the buffalo
during The previous generations has
reduced the number of these animals
running wild TO less than %. most OF

there were millions OF bison grazing

those owned by the national park at

and those in various geological gar.

According TO the census OF living
american bison, complied Dy william
T. HoIuaday. director of the New
York geological park and president of
the American Bison society. there was
on January I. 1908. n total OF 1,722
bison in captivity, of which 1.116 were
in the United States. 476 in Canada
and lS0 in Europe. besides about 800
wild bison in Canada and 20 in the
United States. Most of these animals
are under the control of As private
owners IN The United States and 10 in
Europe. During the five years from
1903 TO 1905 there was a total net in.

the buffalo cannot be perpetuated for
centuries and preserved from ultimate
eztinction save under government
auspices. At present nearly all the
buffaloes in the United States are in
private hands and with few exceptions
are for sale TO anyone Offering rea-

year. some for propagating purposes
and others 10 the butcher and taxider-

The national movement for the per
manent preservation OF the buffalo be
gan in June, 1904, when Ernest Harold
Baynes went to live on the border of
the Corbin game preserve in New
Hampshire, which, strange as II may
seem TO those accustomed to think of
the west as the sole habitat of the
buffalo. has for many years been the
home OF one of the largest herds OF
fbuffaloes in the world. Mr.. Baynes
became deeply interested in these
APPENDED creatures and in the fate Of
their race and soon sought to arouse
public interest in the matter. Presi-
dent Roosevelt took immediate and
active interest in the subject. AS a
result the movement took form on De
eember 8. 1905. when the American
Bison society was organized in New
York City. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
