FOREST AND STREAM 



[Aug. 11, 1887. 



boots, while more resembling that which was yielded by my 

 bare feet. 



18. I began to walk in my ordinary shooting boots, and 

 when I had gone about fifty yards I kicked tbem off and car- 

 ried them with me, while 1 continued to walk another three 

 hundred yards in my stocking-soles; then I took off my 

 stockings and walked another three hundred yards on my 

 bare feet. On being taken to the beginning of this trail, or 

 where I had started in my shooting boots, the bitch, as 

 usual, set off upon it at full speed, nor did she abate this 

 speed throughout the whole distance. In other words, hav- 

 ing been once started upon the familiar scent of my shooting 

 boots, she seemed to entertain no doubt that the scent of the 

 stocking soles and of the bare feet belonged to me; although 

 she did not clearly recognize them as belonging to me when 

 thev were not continuations of a track made by my shooting 

 boots (10 and 11). 



13. I requested a gentleman who was calling at the 'house 

 and whom the bitch had never before seen, to accompany me 

 in a conveyance along one of the carriage drives. At a dis- 

 tance of several hundred yards from the house I alighted in 

 my shooting boots, walked fifty yards beside the carriage, 

 again entered it while my friend alighted and walked two 

 hundred yards still further along the drive. The bitch ran 

 the whole 250 yards at full speed, without making any pause 

 at the place where the scent changed. This experiment was 

 subsequently repeated with other strangers, and with the 

 same result. 



14. I walked in my ordinary shooting boots, having previ- 

 ously soaked them in oil of aniseed. Although the odor of 

 the aniseed was so strong that an hour afterward the path 

 which I had followed was correctly traced by a friend, this 

 odor did not appear to disconcert the bitch in following my 

 trail, for she ran me down as quickly as usual. It was 

 noticed, however, by the Mend who took her to the trail 

 that she did not set off upon it as instantaneously as usual. 

 She began by examining the first three or four steps with 

 care, and only then started off at full speed, 



15. Lastly, "I tried some experiments on the power which 

 this bitch might display of recognizing my individual odor 

 as emanating from my whole person. In a large potato 

 field behind the house, a number of laborers had been en- 

 gaged for eight or ten hours in digging up and carrying 

 away potatoes all the way along half a dozen adjacent 

 "drills." Consequently, there was here a strip of bared 

 land in the field about twenty yards wide and a quarter of a 

 mile long, which had been thoroughly tramped over by 

 many strange feet. Down this strip of land I walked in a 

 zigzag course from end to end. On reaching the bottom I 

 turned out of the field and again walked up a part of the 

 way toward the house, but on the other side of a stone wall 

 which bounded the field. This stone wall was breast high 

 and was situated nearly a hundred yards to windward of my 

 previous course through the potatoes. The bitch, on being 

 led out of the house, was put upon my trail at the top of the 

 field, and at high speed picked out my trail among all the 

 others, following roughly the various zigzags which I had 

 taken. But the moment she gained the "wind's-eye" of the 

 place where I was standing behind the wall, she turned 

 abruptly at a right angle, threw up her head and came as 

 straight as an arrow to the spot where I was watching her. 

 Yet while watching her I had allowed only my eyes to come 

 above the wall, so that she proved herself able' to distinguish 

 instantly the odor of the top of my head (without hat) at a 

 distance of two hundred yards, although at the time she 

 was surrounded by a number of over-heated laborers. 



16. On another day, when it was perfectly calm, I tried 

 the experiment of standing in a deep, dry ditch, with only 

 the top of my uncovered head above the level of the sur- 

 rounding fields. When she was led within 200yds. of the 

 place, she instantly perceived my odor, and ran in a straight 

 line to where I had then ducked my head, so that she should 

 receive no assistance from her sense of sight. This experi- 

 ment shows that, in the absence of wind, the odor of my 

 head (and no doubt, in a lesser degree, that of my body) had. 

 diffused itself through the air in all directions, and in an 

 amount sufficient to enable the setter to recognize it as my 

 odor at a distance of 200yds. 



From the above experiments I conclude that this bitch 

 distinguishes my trail from that of all others by the peculiar 

 smell of my boots (1 to 6) and not by the peculiar smell of 

 my feet (8 to 11). No doubt the smell which she recognizes 

 as belonging distinctly to my trail is communicated to the 

 boots by these exudations from my feet; but these exuda- 

 tions require to be combined with shoe-leather before they 

 are recognized by her. Probably, however, if I had always 

 been accustomed to shoot without boots or stockings, she 

 would have learnt to associate with me a trail made by my 

 bare feet. The experiments further show that although a 

 few square millimetres of the surface of one boot is amply 

 sufficient to make a trail which the animal can recognize as 

 mine, the scent is not able to penetrate a single layer of 

 brown paper (10). Furthermore, it would appear that in 

 following a trail this bitch is ready at any moment to be 

 guided by inference as well as perception, and that the act of 

 inference is instantaneous (12 and 13 as compared with 2, 8 

 and 11). Lastly, the experiments show that not only the 

 feet (as these affect the boots), but likewise the whole body 

 of a man exhales a peculiar or individual odor, which a dog 

 can recognize as that of his master amid a crowd of persons 

 (15) ; that the individual quality of this odor can be recog- 

 nized at great distances to windward (15), or in calm weather 

 at great distances in any direction (10); and that it does not 

 admit of being overcome by the strong smell of aniseed (14), 

 or by that of many other footprints (4).— Bead by Dr. <?. J. 

 Romanes before the Linnean Society in London. 



AN AFTERNOON WITH THE RABBITS. 



CLAY CENTER, Kansas.— The day succeeding our last 

 snow I took down my Parker and started for a dry creek 

 or branch about a mile from town, heavily fringed with 

 thickets, underbrush and tall grass, which is a great resort 

 for rabbits. Upon my arrival I found a party of three per- 

 sons, B., L. and J., already on the ground. Joining the party 

 we were soon industriously scouring the brush. For "rabbit 

 dogs" we had an old pointer and a setter pup, but were soon 

 joined by a little black flee, evidently out for a hunt on his 

 Own hook, which as a regular rabbit dog, shut the balance 

 entirely out. The first thicket yielding no game, B. and I 

 crossed the creek and took up a trail leading across the 

 prairie to a snow bank. A close examination revealed the 

 mouth of a snow tunnel with a "breathing hole" on top 

 and an exit on the other side of the bank. 



B. went around to the other end of the tunnel, while I 

 proceeded to root along the passage with my feet. Out 

 bounced bunny from between my legs, and was off like a 

 flash to the rear. Wheeling quickly, I gave him my right 

 barrel. He nearly turned a somersault, but recovered, con- 

 tinued his flight and disappeared over the bank of the creek. 

 It ran by our party, one or whom fired with no visible effect. 

 The dogs followed in pursuit to the bank of the creek and 

 then returned. "Never touched him," shouted B., which, 

 considering that I fired through the thickly-standing sun- 

 flowers, could not be considered remarkable. B., who was 

 an old rabbit hunter, declared that they sometimes per- 

 formed the acrobatic feat described when badly frightened. 

 After reloading we followed the trail to the edge of the 

 bank where he had disappeared. The old dog followed the 

 trail across the creek and found the rabbit lying on the other 

 bank dead. It must have run three hundred yards from the 

 point where it was shot. This shows that, contrary to the 

 general belief, some rabbits have considerable vitality. 



The party now proceeded up the creek. When we came to 

 a thicket L. would take his dogs and beat up the bushes. 



The remainder of the party took positions on the banks and 

 watched for the appearance of the little quadrupeds. I have 

 often heard that it was very tame sport shooting rabbits, 

 but we found it quite lively. It is not the easiest matter in the 

 world to tumble over a rabbit at full speed, especially when 

 moving through a thicket of tall grass. You see the bushes 

 move slightly, a flash of something that looks to you exceed- 

 ingly small, a white tail just disappearing in the bush be- 

 yond, and bunny is gone unless you shoot quick and true. 

 At the next thicket, J. and I each scored a clean double miss 

 as one came down a little path directly toward us. At the 

 report of our guns he dodged into the tall grass and the next 

 we saw of him was going into a cornfield with long, exult- 

 ant leaps. 



As we advanced up the creek the brush became thicker 

 and the tracks more numerous. In fact well-beaten paths 

 through the snow crossed and recrossed the thickets. B. 

 made a fine double at two of the little animals as they passed 

 his stand, getting both. A few minutes after the old dog 

 came hurrying down the creek with two cottontails a few 

 yards ahead ot him. I bowled over the first as it passed a 

 little open space and the other as it passed abreast through 

 the brush, just as B. had his finger on the trigger. 



The. head of the creek was reached and we were all tired. 

 ■J. had gone home, his rheumatism beginning to be trouble- 

 some. Our bag aggregated a dozen rabbits, and we started 

 for home well satisfied. Crossing a cornfield we came upon 

 the track of a large "jackass" rabbit, which a dweller near 

 by informed us had lived around there all winter and which 

 he had shot at that morning. Our weariness was forgotten, 

 for jack rabbits are not so plentiful as they were years ago, 

 and we started on the trail with renewed strength' 



We started the old fellow out of a corn shock about half a 

 mile from the starting point. He was some distance away 

 and looked as large as a small antelope. We all fired at 

 him, but our No. 10 shot only served to hasten his footsteps. 

 The old dog started in frantic pursuit, but he soon came 

 back looking very much ashamed of himself. I have heard 

 of dogs catching jack rabbits, but I have never seen one catch 

 a full grown one when he was feeling well, and I have seen 

 many very good dogs try the experiment. Another tramp 

 of half a mile brought us to a road. The jack had leaped 

 the hedge fence and had followed the beaten track. Pro- 

 ceeding up the road, keeping a sharp lookout on both sides 

 for tracks, B.'s keen eye espied him in the hedge. "He's 

 dying," said B. Advancing a little distance the jack 

 bounded up, leaped the hedge and was off like the wind. I 

 was close to the hedge and gave him both barrels without 

 any perceptible effect. 



Another tramp through the snow andhe was again started, 

 this time alongside of a fence, and at close range I bowled 

 him over with a double shot. Even then he was not dead, 

 and his neck was broken before he gave up the ghost. He 

 was an immense fellow and must have weighed fifteen or 

 twenty pounds. He seemed to weigh forty before I got h ome. 



Our tramp ended, the game dressed, gun cleaned and put 

 away, supper over, and sitting by the side of a good fire with 

 feet at angle of forty-five degrees enjoying a good smoke, 

 one can realize just how tired he is, and appreciate his home 

 and fireside after his afternoon's tramp through the snow. 



I send you the ears of the jackass, just 12>£in. from tip to 

 tip when killed. Ears, black-tipped; upper side of tail black.

 after giving the vermifuge. The dog may have gastric catarrh 

 from some indigestible food taken, but on account of age and so 

 on, we suspect worms. Feed only milk for a day before and two 

 days after treating.
