Place. Hawk - shot at this one as it stood facing me & it fell down dead at the mouth of the cave & stole Mar. It was too dark to send for this one the sun banis ed. Next morning we found it in the cave dead having been shot thru the wall, I had an old wound in the shoulder & this is why it had taken refuge in the cave. On starting up I found large felers ready for bait with but 2 well formed sharp teeth. The birds are now I should say the first & second weeks in May as evidenced by these embryos. Today was my best accords Membership. I shot 2 gorals or 3 or cys, one rather single whether in 2 shots & a third gorol I shot from above Checliff hilltop in with both shots each which were fatal. Had only one miss & bagged 3 gorals.
