22. Fiber osoyosensis. Pacific Muskrat. 



Common. 



23. Zapus trionotus. Western Jiimpingf Mouse. 



Found in suitable localities from sea level to 7,000 feet. Most abundant 

 on the mountain tops. 



24. Erithison epixanthus. Western Porcupine. 



Very scarce. 



25. Lagomys minimus. Least Pika. 



Mr. Bangs has re-instated Lord's species from specimens I sent him 

 taken near the type locality. Found in nearly all rock-slides from 100 

 feet to summits of highest peaks. 



26. Lepus washingtoni. Washington Hare. 



Common in the bottom lands. 



27. Lepus columbiensis. Columbian Varying Hare. 



This is one of the only mammals that are found in this locality I have 

 never succeeded in taking specimens of. The hares north of the Fraser 

 and in the mountains all turn white. 



28. Felis oregonensis. Pacific Cougar. 



Not uncommon and very destructive to both game and stock. In some 

 localities they have about exterminated the deer. I have then noticed the 

 bones and teeth of Aplodontia in their dung. The young ones are hand- 

 somely spotted, differing in this respect from the form found east of the 

 Cascades. 



29. Lynx canadensis. Canada Lynx. 



Now very scarce, used to be not uncommon. 



30. Lynx fasciatus. Coast Wildcat. 



Not uncommon, used to be abundant. 



31. Canis occidentalis. Wolf. 



Very scarce, both the black and gray forms occur. 



32. Canis latrans. Coyote. 



Coyotes of late years have made their appearance in the Chilliwack 

 Valley. 



33. Vtilpes vulpes. Red Fox. 



I have heard one or two reports of foxes, and saw the remains of a red 

 one that was killed at Pitt meadows. 



34. Utsus horribilis. Grizzly Bear. 



Found in the mountains only. I saw one shot near Summit Lake, of 

 an almost uniform drab gray, almost white. 



35. Ursus americanus. Black Bear. 



Once abundant but getting scarcer — still does great damage to raisers 

 pf hogs. Both black and "cinnamon " forms occur and intergrade.
