As a guess that costs nothing, I should say 
that a full-grown Tyrannosaurus must have 
weighed on the hoof about 7,000 pounds. This 
genus lived in the Upper Cretaceous period, 
about 4,000,000 years ago. It was the largest 
carnivorous land animal that ever lived—at least 
so far as the rocks reveal the animals of the 
world. And to think, that at least one of them, 
and at least one Three-Horned Dinosaur, hung 
out right at Max Sieber’s cabin, only 600 feet 
away from our Sibley tent where our one unter¬ 
rified great horned owl sang to us from his 
saint-like niche in the sandstone cliff that half 
encircled our camp! 
TO A EUR SCARF 
By Frederic F. Van de Water 
In the New York Tribune 
The trap jaws clanked and held him fast; 
None marked his fright; none heard his cries. 
His struggle ceased; he lay at last 
With wide, uncomprehending eyes, 
And watched the sky grow dark above 
And watched the sunset bum to gray, 
And quaked in anguish while he strove 
To gnaw the prisoned leg away. 
Then day came rosy from the East, 
But still those steel jaws kept their hold, 
And no one watched the prisoned beast 
But Fear and Hunger, Thirst and Cold. 
Oppressed by pain, his dread grew numb; 
Fright no more stirred his flagging breath. 
He longed in vain to see him come, 
The awful biped, bringing death. 
The day flapped past on heavy wing, 
He saw the shadows longer grow, 
A hopeless, wracked and dying thing 
Encircled by the trampled snow. 
Then through the gloom that night came One 
Who set the timid spirit free. 
“I know thy anguish, little son. 
So once men trapped and tortured me.” 
New Big Game Protection In Mexico. —The 
January issue of Nature Magazine will con¬ 
tain the story of the interesting coup of Presi¬ 
dent Obregon for the saving of the mountain 
sheep, antelope, Cedros Island deer, and ele¬ 
phant seal of Guadalaupe by long closed sea¬ 
sons, and complete immunity from slaughter. 
The Permanent Wild Life Fund is lending a 
helping hand by maintaining in northwestern 
Sonora, a thoroughly good game protector, Mr. 
Ben H. Tinker, of Tucson, who has been regu¬ 
larly commissioned by the Mexican govern¬ 
ment as an “honorary game guardian.” Mr. 
Tinker is patroling the 150 miles of interna¬ 
tional boundary, and the game country south¬ 
west thereof, that lie between Sonoyta and the 
Colorado River. This arrangement will con¬ 
tinue for two years. W. T. H. 
Successful Acclimatization of Hungarian 
Partridge. —The following is an extract from a 
letter written by Mr. Philip C. Locke, of the 
Manitoba Game Protective Association, Winni¬ 
peg, to the Director of the Zoological Park on 
November 2nd, 1923: 
“I suppose you have heard from time to time 
of the Hungarian Partridge in Alberta. This 
bird has been a great success, and has become 
thoroughly acclimatized. It has spread north 
into the Peace River country, east into Sas¬ 
katchewan, south into Montana, and west into 
British Columbia. The Manitoba Game Pro¬ 
tective Association is this month importing some 
fifty pairs of Hungarians, which are to be 
wintered at one of the Experimental Farms 
owned by the Government, and to be planted 
in various parts of the country early next 
Spring. If we have even a small portion of 
the success that they had in Alberta, it means 
the introduction of a new game bird into the 
Province. 5 ’
