The measurements presented here have been taken re cently by one hand and, for that reason, I value them the more: The dimensions from acknowledged authorities I am not responsible for. This book is not designed to be in any way a scientific work, but it is prepared for gentlemen sportsmen and scientific men who are interested to see comparable measurements at a glance. I think these have not been produced in like form before. Of course.
