27. In what districts of Ontario were deer formerly numerous, to your own 

 knowledge ? 



28. Are they numerous there now ? 



29. If not, what has caused the scarcity ? 

 Answer — 



Not necessary to answer the last three questions here ; asked with a view of 

 obtaining information as to localities in which deer are still plentiful. The 

 answers show that deer were abundant at one time all over the Province, bufc 

 have been getting scarcer and scarcer, year by year, owing to the clearing up of 

 the land, the advent of the settler, the railways, the wolves, and the indiscrimi 

 nate and merciless slaughter of the pothunter and skin assassin.
