It is needless to say that there is very little probability that two forms of 

 wolf have occurred in New York in historic times. Nevertheless Pierce's 

 statement has its interest, for the prominence given it by Darwin in his 

 Origin of species (p. 71) if for nothing else. 



Remarks. The data which form the basis of the accompanying table 

 of wolf bounties were furnished by Dr Frederick J. H. Merrill.
