14 BIG GAME OF NORTH AMERICA. 



of the snowy cliffs, is written of by a man who has lived 

 half a life-time beneath the shadows of its Alpine home, and 

 who has probably killed more goats than any other man, 

 living or dead. 



Then there is a most interesting and valuable chapter on 

 the Peccary, or Mexican Wild Hog — an animal that few 

 Northern sportsmen have ever seen, and yet one that 

 swarms in certain portions of Arizona, Texas, and our sis- 

 ter Republic. Its habits, habitat, and range are accurately 

 described, and thrilling accounts are given of several hunt- 

 ing expeditions after this animal, in which large numbers 

 of them were killed. 



We all have read many articles descriptive of Moose- 

 hunting in Maine and Canada, but here is a novelty. Mr. 

 Hibbs has given us a paper on Moose-hunting in the Rocky 

 Mountains, embellished with valuable notes as to the habits 

 of the great ruminant, under its rugged environment, and 

 with such thrilling episodes and adventures in hunting it 

 as could only have been experienced in that strange and 

 picturesque land. 



"Sillalicum" has given us a study of the Cougar, and 

 Nattrass one of the Lynx, never before equaled by any 

 writers, and which could not have been produced by other 

 than the enthusiastic hunters and naturalists that they are. 



Mr. Lett's paper on the Caribou throws much new light 

 on the habits and character of that strange denizen of the 

 great northern wilderness. He has lived half a life- time 

 in its woodland home, and has had exceptional opportuni- 

 ties for studying it in its wild state. 



Mr. Cooper contributes the most complete and compre- 

 hensive monograph of the Wolverine that has ever been 

 written. He has lived in the various portions of the 

 country which it inhabits, for twenty-five years, and, in 

 addition to his own experience with it, gives many inci- 

 dents and anecdotes collected from other hunters and trap- 

 pers. His paper comprises over seven thousand words, and 

 will prove of inestimable value to all who wish to learn the 

 true life history of this, heretofore, little known animal.
