D. THOMPSON, Wellsboro:

C. A. KENNEDY, Morris: 



In May. 1896, I was going up Ia.iis linn .11 the l-a train, 

 when I saw a fox not ten feet from the lrac-1*. Jump into a 

 brush heap, and, when he raised up he had a partridge in his 

 mouth. Upon investigation I found a nest with twelve eggs 

 in it, and have often seen in the woods where foxes and cata- 

 mounts have caught partridges and rabbits. 



W. WAGNEH, Academy Corners: 



1 have seen hawl<s kill song bli'ds; one species, 1 iliink ih.> 

 long-tailed chicken hawk, destroys the young partridges. 



\V. K. CAMPAIGN, Wellsboro; 



Have seen hawks catch song birds, and have seen in snow 

 where foxes caught grouse. 



W. WAGNEK, Academy Corners: 



In the summer of 1894 a fire burned about three thousand 

 acres of land. This destroyed the game in that section. It was 

 caused by a man burning a yellow Jacket's nest. It destroyed 

 several thousand dollars' worth of property.

H. C. DOR-R'ORTH, Oil City: 



The foxes in this neighborhood are the greatest enemies of 

 the grouse. I saw where, during a period of four weeks, 

 eight grouse had been caught and eaten by the same old fox 

 in one copse of about one hundred acres. I tracked him to 

 his hole and tried to shoot him at different times; he was 

 tlnally killed. This was very near Oil City. If the other foxes 

 do as well on full-grown birds, you can imagine what they 

 can do on young birds in the early summer. You cannot go 

 a mile from here without crossing fox tracks. 



U. G. I..AMBERTON, Oil City:
