WILD-FOWL GUNS

the ordinary charge for the single gun being, if my 

 memory serves me, something like 7 oz. Between 

 swivel-guns such as these and the heavy artillery last 

 named in the foregoing list, there is of course a very 

 wide difference. Messrs. Holland and Holland, 98 New 

 Bond St., London, have long been justly famed for the 

 excellence of their punt-guns, which combine in very 

 high degree those properties most to be desired in guns 

 of this calibre. For safety, compactness, ease of mani- 

 pulation, beauty of design, and shooting power, the 

 " London " punt-gun of Messrs. Holland probably cannot 

 be excelled. Messrs. J. and W. Tolley, 59 New Bond 

 St., W., have also long been in the fore-front as makers 

 of punt-guns, and, indeed, of every other class of wild- 

 fowl gun. Messrs. Thos. Bland, West Strand, London, 

 as also Messrs. Moore and Grey, Piccadilly, W., are other 

 makers who turn out heavy wild-fowl guns with mathe- 

 matical exactitude and of undoubted reliability.
