of them. There were some splendid bulls among them. 

 The cows in the Philip herd paid no attention to a carriage, 

 but many of them would chase a horseman the moment he 

 came near. So vigilant and savage were some of these 

 cows, that it was difficult to get close enough to take good 

 photographs of the herd. 



The Secretary talked with Mr. Philip of the National 

 herd to be established in Montana, and as he said "good- 

 bye," Mr. Philip added, "Well, when you get your fence 

 up, you can count on me for a pair of young buffaloes." 



On his return to the East, the Secretary called upon 

 Austin Corbin, President of the Blue Mountain Forest 

 Association, which owns the Corbin buffalo herd of one 

 hundred and fifty head at Newport, N. PI. After listen- 

 ing to an account of the writer's trip in the West, Mr. 

 Corbin remarked: — "Well! Why don't you ask us for 

 some buffaloes?" The kind suggestion was promptly 

 acted upon, and the Society was the richer by three buf- 

 faloes, immediately. 



The writer regrets that limited time prevented him 

 from visiting the smaller herds of the West. He had orig- 

 inally planned to visit a number of them, but the delay 

 caused by the postponement of the Pablo round-up left 

 barely time to look over the large herds. Incidentally, 

 however, while passing through Chicago, and Davenport, 

 Iowa, the Secretary visited the buffalo herds in the Zoo- 

 logical Gardens in these cities, and found them flourishing. 

 The Lincoln Park herd in Chicago was visited on the 14th 

 of June, and the first calf of the year was born that day. 

 This buffalo herd has been at Lincoln Park for about 

 twenty years, and in spite of the fact that the enclosure 

 contains only about one-quarter of an acre, the animals 

 appear to be in excellent health. 



On June 22nd, the Secretary visited Fejervary Park, 

 Davenport, Iowa, and there found a little herd of nine 

 head, five of which had been born in the Park. They have 

 a range of about six acres, partly wooded and with a pretty 

 little valley running through it. No calves had been l)orn 

 in 1908 up to the time of the Secretary's visit, but tlic 

 superintendent reported the birth of one later in the 

 summer.
