STATUS OF THE PKONGHOKNED ANTELOPE, 1922-1924 63 CHIHUAHUA 111 extreme northwestern, southeastern, and eastern Chihuahua antelope occur in varied, numbers. The bands in the extreme northwestern part are separated from those which range along the Mexican Central Railroad to the east. The great Bolson de Mapimi and the region east of the Mexican Central Railroad is a vest territory ideally suited to the needs of these animals. In southern Chihuahua antelope occur on both sides of the Mexican Central Rail- road, particularly along the border of Durango. DURANGO In Durango antelope are now limited mainly to the northeastern part of the State, in the district of San Dimas. Antelope are reported to be rather com- mon in the following local- ities : Lapioriz, Mara- velles, El Pilar, Santa Rita, San Julian, Las La- gunas, Huachinepas, San Francisco de los Lobos, Pericos, and Huahiapa y Gavilanes. They are also said to be abundant in the district about Escalon, along the border of Chi- huahua and Durango, near the base of the Sierra del Diablo. Antelope in Sonora are. practically all west of the railroad extending from Xogales on the Arizona border south to Guaymas and in the region lying north of a line" drawn from Hermosillo west to the coast of the Gulf of Cali- fornia. A few bands in northwestern Sonora range back and forth across the Arizona border. It is these bands which are now under the guardianship of the Permanent Wild Life Protection Fund. Under date of January 4, 1925, Ben Tinker, who represents the Permanent Wild Life Protection Fund along the Sonora-Arizona border, supplied the writer with interesting information concerning the distribution of the sur- viving antelope in Sonora. They are reported to occupy 4 areas and to have totaled 595 animals in November, 1924, when they were counted by him. Fol- lowing is his summary of these antelope herds: 1.
