REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF 



various localities, the number and size of the deer-yards, and other necessary knowl- 

 edge, to enable him to first form some clear, definite idea as to the average number 

 of deer per square mile or half-mile. Each man is free to make his own calculation, 

 but if the calculation is made intelligently it must be based on these factors. 



Through the courtesy of the American and National Express Companies the num- 

 ber of deer shipped from each station was obtained, and the figures are submitted 

 herewith. I wish here to acknowledge the kindly and valuable assistance received 

 from Superintendent John L. Van Valkenburg, of the American, and Superintendent 

 T. M. Smith, of the National Express Companies. These gentlemen rendered every 

 assistance in their power to make the statistics relating to the number of deer 

 shipped as accurate as possible, and secured detailed statements from each agent on 

 their lines within the territory from which any shipment might possibly be made.
