necessary from the Winchester repeating 
rifle. In the 12 days spent in the moun- 
tains I also secured specimens of the 
serow and the goral, besides two Him- 
alayan snow cock, the largest of the 
pheasant family. 
Also I shot another species of takin. 
It was smaller in horn and body, more 
rufous in color and darker on the lower 
limbs. It is found in small herds, where- 
as the larger and more grayish variety 
go in pairs or singly. As far as I can 
learn, few specimens of takin are in 
Europe. With two exceptions they were 
brought from the Mishimi hills in Bur- 
ma. One, however, came from Tibet and 
the other from the Province of Kansu, 
in Western China, next to the Province 
of Szechuan that I was hunting in. As 
heretofore they have all been killed by 
the natives and we have such meager ac- 
counts of them, it is impossible to judge 
if they belong to one or both varieties. 
The takin was first classified as a species 
of the musk-ox, but later it has been 
placed as an aberrant relative of the 
goat, allied to the Serow. It stands 
about 40 inches at the shoulder, and is 
dark gray or rufous in color, with a dark 
stripe down the back. It is heavily built, 
and has a short tail and a convex pro- 
file on the skull, and classified as the 
Budorcas. 
OUTFIT FOR THE

sheet steel frying pan and a tin cup. A 
sheath knife with thin blade 5 in. long, a 
dessert spoon and a tea spoon complete 
the outfit. 
A cooking fire may be made with sticks 
and bark, but if you want to keep a fire 
going all night, heavy logs will be 
needed. In order to cut those without 
undue labor, you will need at least a 
three-quarter axe. Such an axe weighs 
about 3% pounds. If a large axe is not 
carried, bring a quarter-axe, with a regu- 
lar curved axe handle. A new axe should 
be reground. The store edge is not thin 
enough, nor sharp enough. Take care 
not to let the edge come in contact with 
sand or stones. Use a chopping block. 
To keep up the edges of axe and knife, 
make a hone by glueing a piece of fine 
emery cloth to each side of a thin piece 
of wood. Make your cocking fire near 
the tent so that when it rains or snows, 
you can cook your n eal without being 
exposed to the weather. Keep a supply 
of dry kindlings in the tent, and protect 
your wood from the weather as much as 
possible. When everything is wet from 
a long rain, split a heavy stick and cut 
kindlings from the heart of it. A good 
way to keep your matches dry, is to 
pack them in a small self-sealing tin 
can. The pocket match safe also should 
be water-proof. 
A knapsack large enough to hold your 
entire outfit except tent and axe saves 
time in packing up. A flat square bag of 
water-proofed drilling with a draw-string 
working in brass grommets in the top 
hem, makes a good knapsack for a light 
outfit. It should be of ample dimensions,
