*It is impossible to obtain, even with approximate accuracy, any satisfactory estimate of the total 

 number of Panthers that have been killed in the Adirondacks, even during the past fifty years. 

 Mr. Byron P. Graves, of Boonville, N. Y., shot three in Herkimer and Hamilton Counties during 

 February and March, 1871, four were killed about the same time in Franklin County, and others 

 in other parts of the Woods. A year or two previous to this several Panthers, one of which I 

 skinned, were shot on the extreme western confines of the Wilderness — in the town of Greig, in 

 Lewis County. .Vs near as I can reckon, from the data that I have been able to procure, nearly 

 an hundred Panthers have been killed in the Adirondacks since the year x80o.
