to be driven. Two hooks are employed, for the reason that the 
milling animals tend to reverse the direction of their movements 
when they approach a pocket from which they have succeeded in 
escaping on previous occasions, and then, not recognizing the danger 
of entering the other, they are driven into it and operations are 
thus facilitated.

Fig. 2. — Diagram of improved type of corral for handling reindeer, chiefly for counting 
and branding; constructed entirely of split poles. The reindeer are driven into the 
main corral between long side wings, and sections of the herd are detached as needed 
by means of the separating pens, gates, and chute. A further improvement would con- 
sist of a small corral at the end of the chute, where all animals are handled, to trap 
any that might evade the herders stationed at the swing gate.
