Zoology. 224 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL First Series, Photograph 4. the mountain type (Roiigifcr inoiitauiis) are found on the head of the St. Mary's River, a tributary of the Kootenay, ranging west to the Okanaga Valley and then north. St. Mary's River is prob- ably their southern range. The wapiti or elk (Cervus canadensis), formerly abundant, are now comparatively rare. About a hundred scattered individuals are still ranging on the Elk, Bull, and White tributaries of the Kootenay River, wintering in the lower valleys of the Bull and Elk and on the Steel Fork of the White River. The mule deer (OdocoUcHS Iicniioiiiis) are about three times as numerous as the wapiti and cover about the same range. They are fairly abun- dant. The white-tailed deer {Odocoilcus virginianus macroiirus) are confined to the lower valleys of the White and Elk rivers in summer. They winter on the Kootenay River from Fort Steele to the Montana boundary. The mountain sheep {Ovis cervina) are distributed from the extreme head-waters of the Elk River through the Kanaskis Pass south to the head of the Flathead River. Their chief ranges are (i) on the Fording River, four miles west of the continental divide; (2) also on Sheep Mountain bordering Pass Creek, about fifteen miles farther south; (3) also south of Crow's Nest Pass, overlooking the railroad and about twenty miles north of Fort Steele. There are probably about.
