PART II. 



On the Mammals of Park County, Colorado. 



The following notes are based on observations and inquiries made 

 during four weeks spent in and about South Park, Colorado, in the 

 summer of 1871. They refer not only to the Park itself, but also em- 

 brace a part of the Snowy Range. A week was spent in the vicinity 

 of Montgomery, near the timber line, from which point excursions 

 were made to the snow region. A few facts were also obtained from 

 miners and hunters.
