EDITOR'S PREFACE ix 



it is so plentiful in some parts of the country that 

 even enthusiastic hare-hunters welcome an occasional 

 coursing meeting as a check on excessive numbers, 

 in others, owing chiefly to the operation of the 

 Ground Game Act, it seems near extinction. Still, 

 as Mr. Bryden shows, it should be no very difficult 

 matter to establish hare warrens or turn down hares 

 and thus restore a good show of game. If the plan of 

 these volumes admitted of an Author's Preface, I feel 

 sure that Mr. Bryden would take the opportunity of 

 tendering his best thanks to the many Masters of 

 Harriers and others who have so ungrudgingly helped 

 with their knowledge and with their cameras to make 

 the book what it is.
