The rest of the chapters deal with expeditions into the more northerly parts of Kirin Province and a trip down the Sungari River as far as the Amur. To the sportsman, these will be the more interesting, since they contain accounts of big game hunting, such as stags, bear, and wild goats. A particularly thrilling description is given of the author's capture of a grimly in the forests of I'mien-po district, where with three Russian hunters as companions, he hunted over a considerable range of virgin forest land. Hoe claims to be the first, and so far the only, European, other than the Russian peasants who live in the district, to have shot a grizzly in this region, and thereby, for the first time, establishing the fat that these bears are not, as hitherto supposed, confined to the American Continent.
