the tropical deer show an unexpected abiHty to survive in the north, a fact most 

 suggestive of the northern origin of the whole deer family. 



The problems briefly outlined above are too far reaching for further discussion in

 members of the Adirondack fauna, above all the mighty moose, largest and grandest

 dark form once more fall upon our nothern lakes, and the gleam of his great antlers 

 be seen in the sombre recesses of the North Woods.

 tion used in this article to Dr. J. A. Allen, of the American Museum of Natural His-
