October 27, 1917 - (continued) White Mountain and Lake. Roe deer he also had. The wolf he has never shot. Boars he has killed and the head of one large one he showed me mounted. Curtis affirmed he saw one weighed at 500 lbs. killed by natives. This is well over all records for boars of the world. Underwood asked me to send him lists of any literature on Korean animals as he is quite ignorant of such publications. He has never gotten a shot at a tiger, but the Koreans have tried to beat them out to him on occasions. It rained all day, but not withstanding, I went out after tiffin to the zoo with the guide. We saw many cages of large mammals, lions, bears, one tiger, 2 Korean longhaired leopards, 2 Korean lynx, 2 Korean raccoon dogs. I was surprised to find 4 Hdroloplus or water deer from Korea here in a paddock. Underwood said he had shot them. The Korean sika was represented by a large male several females and young males. They are farmed by the Koreans, he said, for their horns in the velvet which they use as medicine like the Chinese and drink of the blood as a sovereign remedy as well.
