A month later quail begin to appear on the stubble and, with the assistance of a dog, partridges may be found on the hill sides as also a few pheasants in the thicker cover. Throughout the winter waterfowl, including the blue heron, are plentiful, in great variety, especially in the creeks and on the mud flats of the bay, with shell pigeons and ring-doves in the bamboo groves which generally surround the villages. In the district covered by this map, there will be found many enjoyable trips both for the pedestrian and the sportsman, and the author, soliciting every consideration for shortcomings, trusts that the following pages will prove both useful and interesting to those who may have the leisure to peruse them.
