PREFACE 



TO THE SECOND EDITION. 



In this new edition of f Chamois Hunting' some Chap- 

 ters have been added containing the experience gained 

 during several years' shooting in the Tyrol. 



Interspersed through the book will also be found 

 various additional information respecting the habits of 

 Chamois, as well as many new incidents, which may 

 amuse those who took an interest in my former adven- 

 tures. In " Pepi's Cottage" some very strange and pe- 

 culiar local customs are described, and a Chapter that 

 could well be dispensed with has been removed to make 

 way for it. 



For the Frontispiece I have to thank Mr. Karl Haag, 

 who kindly permitted a copy to be taken of his admirable 

 water-colour drawing. 



An account of the curious habit of " Arsenic Eating" 

 has also been thrown into a Note at the end of the Vo- 

 lume.
