 as objects of the sportsman's pursuit. Similarly, 

 although the lion is represented in Asia also, as by 

 the so - called black - maned lion of Guzerat, no

 given, as his numbers are so few and the sport claims 

 so few followers. The same remark applies to one 

 or two other species which are represented in more 

 than one of the great continents. The wild boar, 

 for instance, is an inhabitant both of Asia and of 

 Europe, but its shooting has no particular points of 

 interest in either continent, although pig-sticking is 

 so fine and popular a sport. ED.]
