MR. MACKAYS GREAT GIFT OF MOUNTED HEADS. 



FOR three long years, the promoters of the 

 National Collections of Heads and Horns 

 have steadily maintained the hope that some 

 good genius would present to that collection the 

 commandingly fine heads of wapiti and Amer- 

 ican hison of which it sorely stood in need. 



The Society has just received from Mr. Clar- 

 ence H. Mackay a truly royal gift, consisting of 

 12 mounted heads of bull moose, from the 

 Kenai Peninsula. Alaska. 



10 mounted heads of bull elk, from Wyom- 

 ing, and 

 V mounted heads of bull American bison. 

 ~26 in all. 



This wonderful collection was brought together 

 by Mr. Mackay in 1902, and in the winter of 

 the following year the moose heads were exhib- 

 ited at the establishment of C. G. Gunthers 

 .Sons. Many New York sportsmen went there 

 to see them, and to admire.
