cessary, in that I differ somewhat from Mr. DeKay, although 
he is the best authority I can find on the subject, both as regards 
the size and habits of the animal—I shall proceed at once to the 
subject of Moose and Cariboo hunting, which I shall include 
under one common head, inasmuch as they dwell for the most 
part in the same localities, are hunted with the same apparatus, 
the rifle, namely, and the snow-shoes, without the aid of horse or 
hound, and, with some small exceptions, in the same manner. 
I will only add here, that I have no hesitation in affirming 
Mr. DeKay’s correctness in including the Cariboo among the 
animals of New-York, since it undoubtedly exists in the district 
I have named above, of which Hamilton County occupies a 
large portion. Westward of this the Cariboo will not be found, 
I imagine, to the south of the Ottawa River and Lake Nipissing, 
or the 46th degree of north latitude, at the very highest.
