CONNECTICUT. 



Connecticut has an area of 4,674 square miles, with a popula- 

 tion of 537,454. Though some portions of the State are rugged and 

 hilly, there are no mountains properly speaking. The surface of 

 the country is made up mostly of the valleys of the Housatonic, 

 Connecticut and Thames Rivers, with their tributary streams. 

 Railroads and fine wagon roads intersect every part of the State, 

 and with the rivers furnish excellent travelling facilities. Owing to 

 the dense population of this State, there are now very few of the 

 larger and wilder animals, once abundant, though in most parts 

 of the less thickly settled regions, small game is found in fair 

 quantity. Along the bays and inlets of its southern shore, wild 

 fowl are abundant, and always afford good sport.
