When there is snow lying on the hills there are plenty of cock; myself and two friends having killed in three days two hundred and ninety-eight long bills.
My best bag in cock has been sixty-three in one day's shooting alone.

I have lately taken to punting after ducks, and have been very successful.
One gets twenty to thirty a day, and occasionally a swan.

I once killed four of the latter with one shot from my punt gun (one of Holland & Holland's).

Hares are not very numerous; to get three or four in a day is counted good luck; but one generally picks up one or two during a day's shooting.

Thus the sum of what you have in this country is red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, pigs, wolves, and bears (as to the latter, rare), hares, pheasants, cocks, snipe, quails, and ducks; so that a man who lays himself out for sport and has a yacht can have plenty of amusement between September and March.
The coast of Karamania, taking in all the coast from some distance below Smyrna, passing Rhodes and so on to the Gulf of Ayas, affords all the way along capital sport to yachting men.
