Near the shore a shallow creek leaves the mud-flats 
dry on the fall of the tide ; and here the Korean 
boys capture the Eazorfisii in the same manner as 
they do in the North of Scotland. They know by 
a sudden little, jet of water from the holes in the 
sand that the mollusk is at home, and pass down a 
stick, with a jagged iron barb at the end, between 
the valves of the shell, which clase immediately, 
and the animal is hauled up. 
I found the remains of the tiger both at the 
Korea and at Vladimir, showing that the range of 
this handsome mammal is much more extended 
than is generally believed. Mr. Atkinson says it 
has been killed in Siberia, having crossed from the 
Kirghis Steppe into the Altai# mountains. “ The 
Kirghis say that wherever the wild boars are 
numerous, there the tiger takes up his abode, as 
he is fond of pork.” Our Manchurian skins are 
warmer, and more woolly than those from India.
