No. XXVII.— THE BARTON SHOOTING SEAT. 



{With a plate.) 



About 15 years ago Mr. E. L. Bartou, who was then in Bombay and a 

 mombor of our Committee, invontod a portable revolving shooting seat 

 which was found to be peculiarly suitable for duck shooting. A certain 

 number of the seats were made and sold to members of the Society. A 

 recent enquiry from a member for one of these seats has elicited from Mr. 

 Barton, wlio is now living in England, a rough sketch from which I have 

 prepared the sketch and plan given on the accompanying plate. 



The seat can be taken to pieces and packed in a small canvas bag. 



It is thought that the sketch may be of use to some members who require 

 a revolving seat (for duck shooting) which will not sink in the mud.
