 The specimen from which the annexed drawing was taken is 

 in the museum of Mr. Peel at Philadelphia ; it is the only one 

 preserved of those which Messrs. Lewis and Clarke sent to the 

 President of the United States during their exploratory travels 

 up the Missouri. It is a complete skin of an adult male, stuffed 

 with great skill, although in a very indifferent state of preserva- 

 tion. Through the liberality of Mr. Peel I was enabled to make 

 the drawing, and to take the following dimensions : 



Total length from nose to tail ... 5 feet 8 inches. 

 Height from the top of the shoulders to 



the soles of the fore-feet ... 3 1 



Length of the head 1 o 



From the base to top of the horns in a 



straight line 9
