THE ZOOLOGIST. 



Pig-sticking, as it is also termed), in the opinion of many English 

 officers and civilians who have tried it, forms the very acm£ 

 of sport. 



In the standard work of Bell on * British Quadrupeds, in- 

 cluding the Cetacea,' we have before now (p. 20) had occasion 

 to regret the unsatisfactory nature of some of the illustrations, 

 notwithstanding the excellence of the engraving. 



The Wild Boar, Sus scrofa. 



The figures of the Killer or Grampus (Orca gladiator) and of 

 Risso's Dolphin (Grampus griseus), borrowed from a memoir by 

 Mr. True (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1889), are here reproduced to 

 show the effectiveness of " process-blocks" from drawings in black 

 and white, when the surface of the animal to be represented is 

 perfectly smooth and does not, as in the case of furred animals, 

 lend itself to the treatment of line engraving. 



The section devoted to Birds, in the ' Royal Natural History,' 

 commences with Volume III., Part 15, and we turn to it with 

 some curiosity to ascertain the scheme of classification adopted* 

 On no subject is there greater diversity of views among zoologists
