A NEW HUNTING COUNTRY. 327 



residence with a ranchero, and such a climate as 

 it possesses in autumn is not to be surpassed any- 

 where. 



From my knowledge of adjoining countries, the 

 game will in all probability consist of everything, 

 from grizzly bears and pumas down to snipe and 

 Virginian partridges inclusive. Trout are to be 

 found in Northern Texas and New Mexico, where 

 they are said to attain great size, but on this point 

 I cannot write from my own knowledge.
