General Distribution.—Ovis dalli is found throughout the main range of 
the Rocky Mountains from Lat. 60° northward, practically without a 
break, to its terminus on the Arctic coast, forty miles west of the Mac- 
kenzie delta; then westward to the Romanzoff Mountains, and beyond 
to the Arctic coast at Cape Beaufort, a distance of 1,400 miles. From 
this northern boundary line the species extends eastward toward the 
Yukon throughout probably all the mountain ranges which are high 
enough to afford the animals good homes and feeding-grounds above 
timber line. It reaches the Yukon about at the mouth of Porcupine 
River, crosses to the Tanana Hills, and ranges southwestward to and 
through the Alaskan Mountains to the 60th parallel. It is abundant 
in the mountains of the Kenai Peninsula, and from the head of Cook’s 
Inlet its western limit parallels the coast line almost as far down as 
Cape Fairweather. It is reported in the St. Elias Range, and doubtless 
inhabits many other mountainous regions that have not yet been ex- 
plored and reported upon by observing travellers and naturalists. 
ALAsKA.—“ Bluffs and high mountains of the Yukon River above Fort 
Yukon; headwaters of the Tanana and Kuskowim rivers; Romanzoff 
Mountains westward to Kaviak Peninsula; Kowak and ‘ Nunatog’ [Noa- 
tak] rivers, northerly to Arctic coast near Cape Lisburn. In August, 
1881, two specimens were seen five or six miles inland from Cape Beaufort, 
about 600 feet above sea level. While cruising along the coast from 
Kotzebue Point to Point Barrow, hundreds of skins were seen among the 
Eskimo. These came from the head of Nunatog River.” Alaskan Moun- 
tains nearly to the head of Bristol Bay. 1887.—E. W. Nelson. 
Mountains east of Cape Nome. 1900.—Arthur Gardner. 
Tordrillo Mountains, head of Kuskowim River, Lat. 62°, Lon. 153°. No 
sheep observed between this region and the mouth of the Kuskowim, and 
very little animal life of any kind. 1808.—J. E. Spurr. 
Alaska Mountains, formerly known as Chigmit Mountains, extending 
along western shore of Cook’s Inlet. Specimens taken “‘ near Bristol Bay ”’ 
for United States National Museum. 1883.—Charles L. McKay.
