Excerpt from History of the American Bison: Bison Americanus The great interest which attaches to the history of the American Bison renders the publication of the present article desirable, as the edition of the original memoir was too small to supply the very general demand for a work of such magnitude and importance as Mr. Allen's The American Bisons, Living and Extinct. By the kind permission of Prof. N. S. Shaler, Director Of the Kentucky Geological Survey, the work is republished in the present connection, with the modifications noted beyond. It being scarcely practicable to reproduce the memoir in full, it has been deemed advisable to restrict the scope of this reprint to the portion treating of the living species, as being of the most general interest. Such subtraction of the portion relating to the extinct species, and omis sion of the illustrations, brings the body of the memoir within the reasonable limits of the present volume.
