It is refreshing to be able to enter on the list of horns one of 14 inches 
shot in 1921. A very large number of htads 12 inches to 14 inches could be

view being to collect various small beasts and birds, and if luck was good a brown 
bear or in fact anything that presented itself. 
An expert in skinning was included in the following, for it is tiring work to be 
out early and inspect the many traps, then go out after birds and come back 
to skin and label them. 
On arrival, it was decided to halt and sort out what might be] required ; 
there were no villages, the sheep were not as yet on their grazing grounds, 
and by luck no one was about. 
During the halt, hours were spent in trying to find where the Speckled Wood 
pigeon made their nests. A pair of Bonelli's Eagles were located in some rocks, 
which chased a Monal pheasant which was put up, but they failed 
as the quarry dropped suddenly and took shelter in the forest. A brown bear 
and also a Serow were seen, the latter being put up by the sound of the collector’s
