Excerpt from Horns and Hoofs: Or Chapters on Hoofed Animals The following chapters on various groups of Hoofed Big Game originally appeared as articles in the F z'ela' and Land and Water, where they were accorded such a favourable reception. As to induce the belief that their re-issue in a collective form would prove acceptable to a large number of readers. The chapters that were first published in the latter of these two journals are the first, sixth, and eighth; and the Author has to return his thanks to the Publisher for kindly permitting their reappearance in their present guise. Since their original appear ance several of the chapters have been more or less recast, in order to bring them up to the present state of zoological knowledge; while they have been embellished by the addition of a number of new illustrations. For permission to make use of certain figures, the Author is indebted to Colonel Biddulph, Drs. Guillemard and Sclater, and Messrs. A. And C. Black, W. Blackwood and Sons, A.
