From RUTHVEN W. PIKE, Strasburg, Virginia: 



WILD REINDEER, (Rangifer tarandus). Antlers. (Plate XVII, Fig. 3.) 



These antlers were obtained from Fred. Sauter, who also presented an- 

 other pair, with the statement that they were the largest that ever had come 

 into his possession. 



From FRED. SAUTER, New York: 



WILD REINDEER, (R. tarandus). Antlers. (Plate XVII, Fig. 2.) 



These two pairs fit in excellently with the antlers of Caribou already in 

 the collection, and supply both the zoological and geographical needs. 



From JOHN M. PHILLIPS, Pittsburg, Pa. : 



PHONG-HORNED ANTELOPE, (Antilocapra ameri- 

 fHrt) from the Pinacate Mountains, N. W. 

 Mexico. Mounted head. (Figure 22.) 



This head is of special interest be- 

 cause of the locality from which it came. 

 The Antelope of Pinacate, on the eastern 

 shore of the Gulf of California, represent 

 one of the southern outposts of the genus 

 Antilocapra. In the state of Chihuahua 

 it reaches much farther southward, but at 

 Pinacate its advance southward is abrupt- 

 ly halted by the deserts and barren moun- 

 tains that border the Gulf. 



The head shot and presented by 

 Mr. Phillips is very odd-looking, even for 

 an Antelope. The horns do not curve 

 over at the tip, but they are studded with 

 many small black points, in a manner 

 never observed bv the writer in northern
