States, containing more than 20,000,000 people, where 
their citizens have an opportunity of seeing a living 
specimen of the American buffalo, except on the occa- 
sional visits of a circus. There is no place where the 
school children of about 25 per cent of the total popu- 
lation of the United States can see one of the most 
characteristic and important of the big game animals 
of America. The same is true of the Northwest, in 
Minnesota and North Dakota, and of the far West, in 
Idaho, Oregon and Nevada. Such conditions should 
not long continue. Some provision should be made for 
establishing at least a few buffalo near important centers 
of population, for example, in the parks of such cities 
as Atlanta, Louisville, New Orleans, Memphis, Minne- 
apolis and Portland, where large numbers of people 
could have an opportunity of becoming familiar with 
the grandest of American mammals.
