68 ZOOLOGY. 



Formerly quite common in Utah, as it is still remembered by the older 

 Indians. We were informed by Mr. Peter Madsen, an intelligent fisherman 

 of Utah Lake, that in drawing his nets in that body of water he has fre- 

 quently hauled up the skulls of Buffaloes, and it is supposed that, driven 

 across the plains by the Indians upon the. ice in the winter season, they 

 broke throuali and were drowned.
