TENNESSEE MAMMALS — KELLOGG 301 



111 the course of his journey down the Mississippi River during 

 November 1766, George Morgan (Williams, 1928, pp. 216-218) 

 passed a number of French hunting parties who had ascended the 

 river from New Orleans to kill buffaloes and bears. Along the 

 eastern shore between the mouth of Hatchie River above Prud'- 

 homme Cliff and the present site of Memphis, 10 French hunting 

 parties were seen. Again in June 1768, Jolin Jenning saw French 

 hunters on both sides of the Mississippi River in the same region 

 (Williams, 1928, p. 221). 



In 1819, Williams (1930, p. 96) states, the "buffalo, once numer- 

 ous, had disappeared" in west Tennessee. Haywood, writing in 

 1823 (p. 234), confirms this and says that "at this time there is 

 not one in the whole State of Tennessee."
