CHAPTER XXIX HUNTING AT LAKE TAHOE IN the chapter on the Birds and Animals of the TahoeRegion I have written of the game to be found. Thereare few places left in the Sierras where such good deer-and bear-hunting can be found as near Tahoe. During thedense snow-falls the deer descend the western slopes, ap-proaching nearer and nearer to the settlements of the upperfoothills, and there they do fairly well until the snow be-gins to recede in the spring. They keep as near to the snowline as possible, and are then as tame and gentle almost assheep. When the season opens, however, they soon flee tocertain secret recesses and hidden lairs known to none butthe old and experienced guides of the region. There areso many of these wooded retreats, however, and the Tahoearea is so vast, that it is seldom an expert goes out for deer(or bear) that he fails. Hence the sportsman is always as-sured of something worth while. As for bear I have told elsewhere of recent hunts on Mt.iFreel from Tallac, and

It is fairly abundant also in Portuguese WestSouthwest Africa, south of the Cuanza River, where it was found at Kakondo, on the Kunene,^^^^^ at Huilla, Gambos and Humbe (Barboza de Socage, 1877-81). According to Fleck (1894) it occurs in former German Southwest Africa near Rehoboth, Fish River, and Andersson(1872) describes it as common in the rainy season in Damaraland and Great Namaqualand, and breed-ing in Ovampoland.

The flesh, although reckoned wholesome, is in littleesteem, on account of the great quantity of bones. When Roach arein season, their scales are very smooth; but when they are out of sea-son, these feel like the rough side of an oyster-shell. Their fins alsoare geneially red when the animals are in perfection. These fishdiffer much in quality, according to the rivers in which they aracaught. None are good that are kept in ponds.

I have seen this weed full ofelvers. Of course many of the Broadsmen say eels young ; andone old man says he tells by looking into an eels mouthwhether it has young, and he is fully convinced he has takensixteen young elvers out of an eel. But one thing seems certain about the eel: he is capitaleating. A nice silver-bellied eel, from half a pound to a poundweight, is the sweetest fish to eat, as a salt-water eel like theBreydon eel is the most delicately flavoured. Whilst living 2,70 BIRDS, BEASTS, AND FISHES on the Broads I have cooked them in a bouillabaisse, withvegetables ; fried them (skins on); stewed them; and cookedthem a la viatelote.

AN EEL-CABIN ON GREAT HOVETON BROAD. CHAPTER XII THE PERCH As you walk by the rivers where the kingcups blaze, andthe frogs are croaking in the month of April, you will see,perchance, lovely wreaths of perch spawn hanging round thesere amber reed-stalks. And should you unwind one of thesespawn-wreaths from the reed and hold it against the azure,you will find it looks more beautiful still, and recalls a hol-low tubular bracelet, made of pure glass beads. Some ofthese lovely necklets lie on the surface of the water, some farbelow, lying on the weedy depths, most commonly on hair-weed. And if you watch the place closely, you will see theexhausted fish at times lying on the bottom after the spawn-ing is over. When they recover a little they return to thedeepest holes round about, for the perch loves deep waterand a gravel bottom. In these holes they stay feedingravenously on worms, an they can get them, for they bitefuriously and fast after spawning, but are useless for food whencaught. W

At night I banked the camp-fire, and in themorning, after eleven hours, it was still burning. August 25th. Fog and snow showers were thecurtain raiser this morning.

The bugle calls at the usual early hour on March 10. Thenorders are sent to Chef Schaffer for quail on toast, hot biscuit,pancakes, and maple syrup, ham and eggs, etc. But Schaffer turnsdown these orders, so we are content with plain coffee, hardtack,and bacon, then continue the march until a late hour and put upat another hotel run on the army plan where all secure quarters onthe first floor.

Nick is missed in the ranks. He has a habit of taking the nega-tive side of questions raised by the oracles, thus prolonging thesearguments. A thorn to the flesh is Nick, forever throwing ice wateron our hopes of an early close to the war, an event we are hopingand longing for and often discuss in our travels. When Nick de-veloped into manhood he did a poor job in changing his voice andseemed to lose control of it. When under pressure of excitementhis voice leaves the grade and soars skyward and as quickly de-scends to a deep bass when the pressure is relieved. Considerablediscussion is carried on at times over the meaning of the termsunder which we enlisted, namely: Three years or during the war,u

d has been recorded from the Kafue River (Boyd Alexander,p, , . 1900). It is abundant, however, on the Upper Zambesi (Bradshaw, fide Stark and Sclater, 1906; Holub and von Pelzeln, 1882) and in northwestern Bechuana Protectorateon the Botletli River (Bryden, 1893),on Lake Ngami where it is resident and presumably breeds (An-dersson, 1872), at Kanye (Nicolls and Eglington, 1892). It is fairly abundant also in Portuguese WestSouthwest Africa, south of the Cuanza River, where it was found at Kakondo, on the Kunene,Africa at Huilla, Gambos and Humbe (Barboza de Bocage, 1877-81). According to Fleck (1894) it occurs in former German Southwest Africa near Rehoboth, Fish River, and Andersson(1872) describes it as common in the rainy season in Damaraland and Great Namaqualand, and breed-ing in Ovampoland. South of the Orange River the present species occurs only as a rare straggler. It has been taken onthe Kleinmont River, Bathurst Division (Layard, 1875-84), and once in Pondoland, Cape Colony

There is no record of its occurrence in the Orange South Af-River Colony, but it has been taken on the Molopo River near Mafeking, southwestern rica; OrangeTransvaal (W. Ayres, 1887; Shelley, 1882) at Potchefstroom (Barratt, 1876; W. Ayres, River1887) and at Rustenburg (W. Ayres, 1887). According to C. H. Taylor (1907), it is resident andbreeds in southeastern Transvaal in the Amersfoort District, and Haagner (1914) re- ~ , cently discovered it breeding on the Crocodile River in the same general region, this be-ing the southernmost breeding record. Between the Limpopo and the Zambesi, that is in southern Rhodesia, the species has been fre-quently found. There are specimens from the Tati River in the South African Museum, and F. Oates(1881) found it on the Ramaquaban River. It is common during the

Pyrenees. I recognise its saddle shape, and thecottages upon its flank. And these, with adulatinghills about their feet, and the eternal snows upontheir crest, wrapped in their velvety robes of blueand purple mist, or flushing carmine with the sun-set, are surely the emperors and the autocrats ofSpanish mountaindom—the Sierra Nevada of theglorious Andalusias. Spains principal rivers are but few: the Ebro,Douro, Tagus, Guadiana, Guadalquivir, Segura,Jucar, and Mino. Of these, the Ebro, which risesat Fuentes de Ebro, in the beautiful valley ofReinosa, disembogues into the Mediterranean, asdo the Jucar and Segura; the remainder into theAtlantic; and Tagus is the longest, picking hislonely path across the deserts of New Castile to where Imperial Toledos tawny streamRolls round his rocky brink. In proportion, says Carrasco, as the greaterpart of the Spanish coast is smiling, cheerful, anddiversified, so are the central regions dreary andmonotonous, even where the soil is most productive;

INTROSPECTIVE AND GEOGRAPHICAL. 21 and this uniformity of desolation increases as the traveller nears Madrid. After traversing, for instance, the broken yet pleasant lands of Biscay, Guipuzcoa, and Alava, he finds himself upon the vast Castilian plateaux, where nothing may be spied beyond a tree bole twisted by the wind. A few forests of oak and pine have escaped the fire or axe, no doubt because they lie remote from any human habitation; but the pernicious custom of destroying them is so general that even single trees are felled or uprooted under the pretext of their harbouring birds. This sombre illustration exhibits the dominant feature of Spanish scenery in general—its treeless- ness. In Spain there are no trees worth mentioning, save in Biscay or Asturias, or where, perhaps, in Catalufia Scepiiis ventis agitatur ingensPiniis— but these are the exceptions which corroborate therule. Though once upon a time the Peninsula wascertainly better wooded than at present (an ancientreco
