and some years they do much damage to poultrj'. Know of 

 one instance where Wildcats killed a lamb. Am in favor of 

 a bounty. 



CHAS. LOTT, Warren County: 



Wildcats are not sufficiently numerous in my locality to do 

 much damage to either poultry or game. 



M. B. TRESCOTT, Luzerne County: 



Wildcats are of frequent occurrence in some sections of our 

 county. 



GEORGE MILLER, York County: 



I do not think there are any Wildcats in our county except 

 perhaps in the South mountain. 



E. E. BRILHART, Indiana County: 

 Wildcats are rather numerous in some parts of the county. 



JEREMIAH PHILLIPPI, Somerset County: 



Wildcats or catamounts are frequently met with in some 

 S'ections of our county. They destroy a great many Wild Tur- 

 keys and Pheasants when hatching, and during hard winters 

 they kill a good many Deer. I think the State should pay a 

 premium of five dollars on every Wildcat. 



J. H. VAN ETTEN, Pike County: 



In 1893 nineteen Wildcats were killed in this county. Wild- 

 cats kill game and small wild birds; never heard of them 

 killing poultry. I have, however, heard from a reliable source 

 that Wildcats kill fawns, but I never heard of them killing 

 lambs or calves. 



BENJ. A. FILBERT, Schuylkill County: 



The Wildcat is a rather rare inhabitant of our mountainous 

 districts. 



C. W. PENNELL, Wayne County: 



Wildcats are quite numerous and they destroy much i)oul- 

 try and game.
