Distribution. 
British Columbia.—So far as definitely traced, the Smoky River (54° 
20’), Alberta, N. W. T., eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, is the 
northern limit of this species. It is found at the head of Grand Cache 
Creek; also at Jasper House. No Ovis stonet in these localities, but re- 
ported “farther north.” 1887.—J. Alden Loring. 
“The mountains of the mainland except the Coast Range, from Koo- 
tenay to Cassiar; Similkameen, Bridge River and Chilcotin.” 1900.— 
John Fannin. 
Cariboo Mountains; Bridge River; Lilloet. 1900.—Charles A. Bramble. 
Westward “ from the main range of the Rocky Mountains . . . to 
a line drawn a certain distance back from the sea-coast, approximately 
along the middle of the Coast Ranges,’ which “limits the sheep on the 
west. Within the above area, however, are many ranges and groups in 
which sheep do not occur.” 1901.—Dr. George M. Dawson, Director 
Geological Survey of Canada. 
“T believe that the Rocky Mountain divide, between the head-waters of 
the Pease River and those of the Fraser (Lat. 55°), forms the dividing line 
between its range (O. dalli) and that of the southern Ovis cervina.” [O. 
montana.] 1900.—Andrew J. Stone. 
East Kootenai. 1900.—IlV. J. Moore. 
Southern part of Similkeen Mountains, and Okanagon Valley, Yale 
County. 1901.—James Campbell.
