'The contrast here viaihle hetweeu 1889 and 1890 is by no means a measure of corresponding decrease in the breeding 

 lierd. The fart is that the tictitious quota of 1889 was made up largely of yearlings wliieh helouged properly to the quota 

 of 1891. In like manner the quota of 18K9 and the i>receding year had largely ahsoilied the legitimate quota of 1890. It is 

 prohahle that had the (juota been reduced in proportion to the decreasing birth rate, and lieeii contiued to the regular ages 

 of animals, the normal quota of 1889 and 1890 would have been between 50,000 and 00,000. 



*' In tliis year driving for the season was closed on July 20 by order of the (;o\-erniuent agent, it being evident that 

 the toll quota (if 60, DUO skins could not be secured, or iu fact auv considcraldc iminh<T in addition to those taken prior to 

 that date.
