American Fisheries Soctety. 54 
plements shown by Mr. Miller of Elgin, Ill. The game trophies 
exhibited by Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Ceylon, Egypt, 
Venezuela, German East Africa, South Africa, Guatemala and 
Mexico are especially noteworthy, while the states of Oregon, 
California, Washington, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, 
Minnesota, North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Rhode 
Tsland, New Jersey, Colorado, Montana and Virginia contribute 
materially to the pleasure and information of visitors. 
New Zealand demonstrates effectively what can be done by 
intelligent effort on the part of acclimatization societies and 
governments when they undertake to increase the fauna of the 
country suitable for certain forms of animal life. The intro- 
duced fish as well as the deer and other mammals have prospered 
beyond all expectation. 
In the hunting equipment the department is unusually 
strong. ‘The development of the modern breech-loading gun 
from the primitive bow-gun through all the various steps of the 
wheellock, matchlock, hammer gun and hammerless, is well 
shown by the United States Cartridge Company in one of the 
best collections of arms to be found in the United States. The 
Winchester Repeating Arms Company has established a shot- 
proof house west of the Forestry building at which to test the ac- 
curacy of the Winchester rifles. This is open to the public for 
mspection although no shooting is done except by experts em- 
ployed by the exhibitor. Demonstrations are given twice daily, 
one in the forenoon and one in the afternoon. 
Foreign countries have also played an important part in 
this group of exhibits. The gun exhibits of Belgium, France, 
Germany, Egypt, Great Britain and other foreign countries are 
remarkably full and satisfactory. Great Britain, for example, 
has displays from ten of the leading gunmakers of the United 
Kingdom, while Belgium and France have fully as many or 
more contributing firms, and Egypt has sent a collection of her 
native weapons of warfare and the chase. The South African 
collection is not now a part of the competitive exhibit but is dis- 
played in the Anglo-Boer war concession in a separate museum. 
Fishing tackle and other apphances for angling and commer- 
cial fishery are very well represented by exhibits from several 
foreign countries as well as from the best known manufacturers
