BUFFALO. 
55 
two Buffaloes that were killed in one season on Cape Fear river, in 
North Carolina. The Bison formerly existed in South Carolina on the 
seaboard, and we were informed that from the last herd seen in that State, 
two were killed in the vicinity of Columbia. It thus appears that at one 
period this animal ranged over nearly the whole of North America. 
At the present time, the Buffalo is found in vast herds in some of the 
great prairies, and scattered more sparsely nearly over the whole length 
and breadth of the valleys east and w^est that adjoin the Rocky Moun- 
tain chain.
