Excerpt from Sport in Europe Horn measurements have, where available, been given in inches or centimetres; in some cases, however, the measurements could not be verified and were therefore omitted. The illustrations are either from drawings specially executed by three artists, who have made these subjects peculiarly their own, or from characteristic photographs, with which the contributors have, in many cases only by considerable labour on their part, had the goodness to supply me. The very attractive series of pictures of sport in the forests of Letzlingen and konigs-wusterhausen reached me by special com mand of His Majesty the Emperor of Germany; and a pathetic interest will also attach to the two pictures of that keen sportsman, the late King Humbert of Italy, which were in my hands for publi cation many months before His Majesty fell by the assassin's hand.
