Abstract
A RECENT Quarterly Information Bulletin concerning the protection of Nature in Poland records that the herd of bisons living in the forest of Bialowicza has now reached the number of fourteen individuals, of which nine belong to the pure race. These are two adult males, two young males, two adult females and three young ones. The remaining five are hybrids the fourth generation of a cross between an American bison cow and a European bison bull. Of the present stock, five individuals were bought in 1929, and the remainder were born in Bialowicza, as well as an additional young bull now in the zoological garden at Warsaw.
