*lh. A. Americanus. The Moose is seldom seen within the limits of the State. Hunters in- 

 form me that it is still occasionally taken , hut it is rapidly disappearing from its former 

 haunts. 



xI6. R. Caribou. The Caribou extends its southern range to the Upper Peninsula , where it 

 is occasionally taken by hunter.-. 



x!7. C. Canadensis. The Elk is found in abundance in the counties of Huron and Sanilac 

 about the head waters of the Cass River. The unrelenting pursuit of huuters by 

 means of the rifle and trap pens will soon exterminate it, unless means are taken to 

 prevent an indiscrimate slaughter at all seasons of the year. '
