Kainskord, UCH works on natural history as I have been able to consult, give most inaccurate and misleading ac- counts of the Grizzly Bear; and having captured, hunted, and yarned with a great variety of Western Nimrods who had hunted, or professed to have hunted, persistently, this moiuirch of all American game animals, I am convinced of the absolute inaccuracy of such lore as they usually supply to the public. I have hope, however, that though this article is of necessity written in iuiste, it may pj'ove useful to some Avho are anxious for themselves to make the Grizzly's acquaintance. I believe Lewis and Clarke, in their history of their adventurous journey across this continent, in 1802-04, were the first to give to the public an account of the Grizzly Bear. They met him on the upper waters of the Missouri River, and his size, ferocity, and tenacity of life made a great impression on the minds of the explorers. There can, I think, be no doubt that the Grizzlj"^ is one distinct species in itself, and the habit, among hunters in the West, of speaking as though there were three or four different species of gray Bears, is a mistaken one. Local authorities, in the regions where the Grizzlj'^ is found, will tell you that the true Grizzly is rare, while the Silver-tip or the Roach-back are common. But while the Grizzly exhibits great variety of color, there is nothing in the struct- ure or the habits of these different-colored Bears to consti- tute a separate species. It can be proved, beyond all manner of reasonable doubt, that all species of Bears found between tlie Big Horn and the Coast Range Mountains, east and west, and Alaska (903) If m.
