AMERICAN BISON: BULL. 
Warning.—Visitors must never stand close beside a wire 
fence or gate, because its elasticity between posts might 
enable a charging animal to strike a person so standing and 
inflict a serious injury, even though the fence or gate is not 
in the least affected by the blow. 
THE BISON RANGES, Nos. 51 and 52. 
Stretching from the Boston Road to the large Antelope 
House (No. 50), and from the Rocking Stone to the southern 
boundary, lies an open expanse of rolling meadow land, with 
a total area of about twenty acres. It is almost surrounded 
by shade-trees. Its easterly edge is a low-lying strip of rich 
meadow, which les under the shelter of the rocky, tree- 
covered ridge that forms the natural retaining wall of the 
higher plateau toward the west. This is the Bison Range. 
It is the first enclosure seen on the left as the visitor enters 
the Park from West Farms by way of the Boston Road. 
On the north side of the main range, near the Rocking 
Stone, are the four corrals, and the Bison House. The 
latter is a rustic hillside barn, eighty feet in length, with a 
semicircular front, affording shelter and feed storage for 
thirty-four buffaloes. The flat roof of the Buffalo House is 
open to the public from the main walk, and has been speci- 
ally designed as a convenient lookout over the main range
