Rhymes of The Stream and Forest 
FRANK MERTON BUCKLAND 
One of the freshest, most delightful collections of outdoor verse offered for 
.many a day. They are the outpourings of a spirit which loves nature, the woods 
and streams and growing things, and appreciates its charms. 
Mr. Buckland’s verse has a charm that is at once rare and delightful. This 
book will appeal to every outdoor man or woman, and particularly to the “Brethren 
of the Angle.” ' ■ , " . 
Its form is as attractive as its pages, closely simulating the appearance of the 
standard fly-book, printed on heavy laid paper with ornamental border designs of 
trout flies, pocket for clippings, and blank pages for copying or individual com¬ 
position. It is just the thing for the den, for the pocket, or for a gift to the friend 
who loves the big world out of doors.

TRANSPLANTING AMERICAN GAME’ 
BIRDS. 
Continued from page SIS. 
it was seen by my friend, George H. Robbins, 
and several of his neighbors. 
“Another bird of the same sex was met with 
by Walter Faxon in the Fresh Pine Swamps (on 
the Arlington side of Little River) on May 14, 
1892. The latter instance may be taken to in¬ 
dicate that at least a few of these grouse may 
have succeeded in maintaining themselves for a 
number of years, but there are no good reasons 
for believing that any of them are still living or 
have left living descendants. In short, the at¬ 
tempts to establish them permanently in the 
Cambridge region, as well as in other certain 
parts of Massachusetts where they were liberated 
about the same time, have evidently proved a 
complete failure.” 
Efforts have been made to naturalize various 
American game birds in England, but so far as 
known, with no permanent success, except in 
the case of the turkey, and this only as a domes¬ 
tic bird. In 1861 Grantley F. Berkeley, a mem¬ 
ber of Parliament, wrote from Winkton House, 
in Hampshire, to his friend, Capt. Geo. D. 
Bayard, saying: “My friend in America up to 
this last week has been sending me over prairie 
grouse and quail for naturalization for our so¬ 
ciety for that purpose here, and I am charmed 
by being put in mind of the plains by having a 
male prairie grouse walking about my garden, 
tamer than an English pheasant, coming to my 
whistle for food and making the devil’s own 
howls, with the skin blown out on either side 
of his neck, strutting and running around and 
calling for his mate, but I have no mate to give 
him. The four prairie grouse that came over 
are all males. A friend of mine, Lord Malms- 
bury, has imported some of your wood grouse, 
and they are doing well. 
“I have sept out to different places a great 
number of quail, some from Canada and some 
from New York.” 
More than twenty years later Frank Sturgis, 
of Chicago, sent a large number of live pinnated 
grouse to a friend in England, who acknowl¬ 
edged them in a letter published in Forest and 
Stream in the following letter from Neath, under 
date of March 22, 1883, as follows: 
“I have unfortunately been upon the invalid 
list at the seaside for a few days, or I would 
have written at once to acknowledge Mr. Cheet- 
ham’s letter of the 3d inst., and to thank you 
most heartily and most sincerely for your prince¬ 
ly present of prairie grouse. I am sure that I 
am quite right in stating you have altogether ex¬ 
celled all previous attempts in this direction, and 
the successful outcome of the shipment reflects 
the greatest credit upon your excellent arrange¬ 
ments. The birds being so rare, and the quan¬ 
tity so far in excess of any private requirements, 
I hope you will be pleased rather than offended 
at the, distribution which has been arranged. 
Acting in concert with Henry Nash, who com¬ 
municated with Mr. Lowell, we have presented 
twenty to her Majesty the Queen, for Balmoral, 
and the Prince of Wales has been graciously 
pleased to accept twenty for Sandringham. We 
have sent ten to the Zoological Gardens in Re¬ 
gent's Park, where they are very much prized 
and valued, and we have turned out sixteen to 
take their chances upon our Welsh hills—jointly 
upon Lord Jersey’s property and upon shooting
