INTRODUCTION 9 



A number of the following papers — in 

 more or less the same form as that In 

 which they are now printed — have already 

 appeared In the Field and the Shooting 

 Times, and one in Bailys Magazine. To 

 the proprietors of these three periodicals 

 I would here express my thanks for their 

 kind permission to use the same.
