What This Index Represents. 



Attention is called to the foregoing lades, which affords, perhaps the best possible resum; of the field covered by the Fokest and Srasiii and Rod and Gox. The most cursory 

 examination of the topics discussed in the several departments will show the aim and scope of the Journal. Under the first division— Answers to Correspondents— for instance, there are 

 indexed five hundred and sixty replies, of which more than one hundred relate to the Kennel, nearly one hundred and fifty to the Gun or Eifie, and the remaining three hundred to Fishing, 

 Fish Culture, Game Protection, Natural History, Recipes and the wide range of subjects, concerning which our readers are constantly seeking information. Each of the divisions of the 

 Index represents an equal range and variety of readable and invaluable matter falling within that department. The total number of such indexed subjects approaches three thousand. This 

 represents the work of the paper for six months, or a total of nearly six thousand for each year. 



The Foebst and Stream and Rod and Gun is a twenty-four page weekly Journal, published by the Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 111 Fulton st, New York. Terms,
