During the winter of 1894 a band of twenty antelope {Antilocapra americana amcricana) were known to exist in eastern Siskiyou County. Since then the herd seems to have increased, due to the pro- tection afforded it. Mr. Davis, former owner of the Mitchell Ranch, near Mount Dome, took great interest in the animals and tried to protect them. He instructed his men to report all violations, and people genei-ally came to regard Mr. Davis as the antelope protector. In spite of this rigid protoction there were some who persisted in hunting the animals, for several heads of antelope which had evidently been killed by hunters have been found south of the Davis ranch. On March 27, 1915, I counted 72 ante- lope in one band at the south end of Mount Dome. Mr. Edward Daggett, fore- man of the Churchill cattle ranch, counted 42 antelope near the Mitchell Ranch on Willow Creek, Siskiyou County, on March 1, 1916. The animals seem to range in small bands of from 8 to 35. It is my belief that these animals now number at least 150 in this vicinity.— G. W.
