FLINTLOCK HUNTING PISTOLS. 
The Facade, Charing Cross, London. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Early European hunting weapons are often 
amusing to modern eyes. There is the XVIII 
century hunting- and deer-stalking sword, which 
not only presumes remarkable sprinting powers in 
the hunter, but contains in the hilt a knife and 
fork for eating the venison or other game when 
run down. 
The accompanying photograph shows the pocket 
hunting flintlock pistol of the early and middle 
XVIII century. The upper pair, English, are 
provided with spring daggers which normally 
fold beneath the barrels. Should the bullet miss 
its mark and the quarry get ugly, pressure on the 
trigger guard releases the daggers, which fly and 
fix automatically into position. 
The lower pair are French of about the same 
period. In order that there may be no doubt a? 
to their purpose, hounds are engraved on the 
lock plates. S. Allen. 
BOOK REVIEW. 
“Bungalows, Camps and Mountain-houses” is 
the title of a book issued by Wm. T. Comstock 
& Co.’, 23 Warren St., New York, which will ap¬ 
peal to a large circle of readers. 
A feature of the new edition is the article by 
Mr. C. E. Schermerhorn, A. A. I. A. It is a 
condensed account of the requirements for plan¬ 
ning a bungalow. It contains a plate showing 
22 different schemes for laying out the floor 
plans of a bungalow, and in addition a lot of 
little detail sketches showing how to plan con¬ 
veniences in the house, such as built in furni¬ 
ture, kitchen arrangements, closet space, cup¬ 
board, etc. The subject matter is treated in the 
three parts. The first shows the true bungalow; 
the second, the bungalow with a second story, 
and the third, lodges and log cabins suitable for 
the mountains, lake side and seashore. Descrip¬ 
tive text accompanies the illustrations giving 
costs and telling the kinds of material used.

GAME PROTECTION AND THE 
BIOLOGICAL SURVEY. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Two recently published books of the U. S. 
Biological Survey have turned my thoughts back¬ 
ward to the days when there was no Biological 
Survey on the firing line, and the defenders, of 
wild life received no help from the National 
Government. In 1898 I published a formal de¬ 
mand that the Survey should “devote the entire 
services of one man to active protection work.” 
(Extermination of Our Birds and Mammals, P. 
106.) 
Those were the dark days. The absence of 
federal participation in the warfare was. by at 
least one man, bitterly resented. 
Presently the federal government took hold, 
through the Survey. T marked that the begin¬ 
ning as the dawn of a new era; which it was. 
Since that time the Survey has developed into a 
tremendous power for good. I know; because I 
have for more than ten years planned at head¬ 
quarters, and fought in the trenches, with its 
campaigners. 
Few men know as well as I do how many good 
game laws have been made, how many bad game 
hills have been killed, how many bird reserva¬ 
tions, game preserves and bison ranges have been 
due to the Biological Survey. There never has 
been any other influence equaling it in Congress 
and the White House, for wild life protection. 
The outsiders who have had most to do with se¬ 
curing Congressional aid for game preserves and 
great game laws are the ones who best can testify 
to the truth of what I have said above. During 
these years of Federal activity in game preserva¬ 
tion Dr. T. S. Palmer has had charge of this 
section of the work in the Biological Survey 
and. backed by the Survey as an organization, 
has worked tirelessly in the cause. 
Often and often T have wondered at the cease¬ 
less industry and boundless complaisance which 
for years kept the representatives of the Survey 
at the beck and call of nearly every state game 
commission or state association of defenders 
that got into serious trouble with the army of 
destruction. One week it would be an appear¬ 
ance at Albany, with maps, charts and specimens 
galore, to help beat the game dealers. Next week 
it was in New Jersey; and the next in Wisconsin, 
trying out candidates for game wardenships a 
la civil service. After that it was a fight to the 
death with the notorious Binklev-Purdy gang of 
poachers in the Yellowstone Park,-—breaking up 
the gang, forever. Then it was a cold, raw trip 
to Jackson Hole, on starving-elk business. 
And so forth, and so on. For years it was the 
Biological Survey here, and the Biological Sur¬ 
vey there. Who knows it better than the real 
wild life protectors of the United States? 
Well, since the enactment of the federal mi¬ 
gratory bird law, the shrewdest of its opponents 
have made things rather hot for the federal in¬ 
spectors, and for the Survey. 
The Biological Survey has been criticised for 
failing to have its inspectors make arrests, and 
for not prosecutng cases based on the possession 
of ducks, and also for not having hag limits re¬ 
duced. These critics do not appear to know that 
in the Federal Migratory Bird Law there was 
no authority given permitting Federal inspectors 
to make arrests, even in cases where the law was 
violated in their presence, or that it does not make
