This may represent the extreme western point reached by the species in this region. Twenty- five miles farther down the river there are other mountains with exten- sive areas rising above timber line, which have been hunted over for many years past by Captain A. B. Conover, residing at the mouth of Clearwater Creek. He told us that he had never seen any caribou there, nor any sign of their Pig. Y. Young Alaska moose (Aloes americanus gigas), twenty-four hours old. The long legs of the adult moose is a feature that is much accentuated in the calf, giving an appearance of extreme ungainliness to the short-bodied animal, whether standing upon these stiltlike members or lying down with the legs awkwardly folded underneath. Photograph taken near Telegraph Creek, May 27, 1919. Oreamnos montanus columbianus Allen. Columbian Mountain Goat Mountain goats are probably of general distribution on the higher mountains from Telegraph Creek west to the coast. Our own exper- iences were limited to three localities. At Glenora, on July 3, an acquaintance ascended the mountain that rises behind the town, and he told us that he saw two goats near the summit. On July 11 and 23 we climbed the mountain just south of Doch-da-on Creek. As soon as the belt of upright timber was passed, goat sign was seen on all sides. Broad, well-beaten trails wound through the thickets of prostrate.
