THE GUN AT HOME AND ABROAD 
Macleay will give a very fair demonstration of what Scotland produces. 
His stag -head statistics, carefully kept for a number of years, form an 
interesting study, which show us that, although deer have enormously 
increased, the number of good heads are well maintained, and their 
number influenced by good or bad growing seasons:
