Frank Forester's field sports of the United States, and British provinces, of North America. . found in the territories ofthe United States and the Provinces, namely— The Moose, Cervus Alces ; The Elk, Cervus Canadensis; The Cariboo, American Reindeer, Cervus Tarandus ; The Common Deer, Cervus Virginianus ; and The Black-tailed Deer, Cervus Macrotis.
