the move. The party followed him all day, until at 

 length he lay down close to the Glencanisp march, 

 from out of which forest he had no doubt come. It 

 was then past six o'clock, with naturally a rapidly

 "whistle him up," when Mr. Piatt brought off a

FOREST OF DUNDONNELL BY ULLAFOOL. 



A forest of Mr. H. Mackenzie's, rented last season 

 by Mr. Wythes of Copped Hall, Essex. It covers 

 some 23,000 acres of very rough, precipitous stony 

 ground, with the highest altitude reached at nearly 

 3,500 feet, and over the whole of it the walking is very 

 severe. In season 189 1, fifty-one stags were killed, 

 with an average weight of 13 stone 7 lbs. clean ; but 

 whether this number accurately represents the yearly 

 average for the last few seasons I am not able to say.
