In addition to the species and races already represented, the Manchurian or Bedford’s wapiti (_Cervus canadensis xanthopygus_), the Amurland wapiti (_C. c. luedorfi_), which I have now good reason to regard as distinct from the former, the hangul or Kashmir stag (_C. cashmirianus_), Thorold’s deer (_C. albirostris_), and the shou or Sikhim deer (_C. affinis_) would probably do well in the preserve, if specimens could be procured. Sikas and wild fallow deer would of course thrive, but the owner has no fancy for either. If smaller deer are desired, the Himalayan musk-deer (_Moschus moschiferus_) and the Chinese water-deer (_Hydrelaphus inermis_), as well as the Tibetan and North Chinese tufted deer (_Elaphodus cephalophus_ and _E. michianus_), might be recommended as interesting species likely to flourish; and, if specimens could be procured, the milou, or Père David’s deer (_Elaphurus davidianus_), would almost certainly prove a success. Sheep, goats, and saigas would assuredly not do; but, despite the fact of their being mountain species, thar, serow, and takin (at present not procurable) might be worth a trial, as they are chiefly inhabitants of forests. [Illustration: EUROPEAN BISON IN A FOREST RIDE.] The splendid condition in which the preserve is kept, and the large amount of work already accomplished in the matter of road-making and drainage, afford abundant testimony to the energy and capacity of Mr. Sokalski, the director. A word of commendation may likewise be bestowed on the relatively high degree of education of the foresters, who display a knowledge of zoology and botany conspicuous by its absence among most English game-keepers. Nearly all of these men are acquainted with the scientific names of the commoner animals and plants to be met with in the forest; and they know all the berries and funguses which are good for food, as well as those to be shunned. While on this point I may venture to put in a novel plea in favour of the retention of the old-fashioned type of scientific nomenclature. My German (so far as conversation is concerned) is but limited, while of Polish my knowledge is _nil_. And yet, despite these drawbacks, I was able to acquire from the director and the foresters a good knowledge of the denizens of the forest by means of their scientific names. If, however, I had known the white stork only by its modern designation of _Ciconia ciconia_, instead of by its old-fashioned title of _Ciconia alba_ (and so in other cases), a great deal of such conversation would have been impossible.
