Mountains. But it is not so exclusively a crag-dweller, as 

 most persons have been led to suppose, for in 'many local- 

 ities it inhabits mountain forests. Like most other moun-

 winter they seek lower and more sheltered situations. They 

 are exceedingly wary and agile, and sure-footed on danger-

THE ANTELOPE HOUSE, NO. 50. 



The Antelope House occupies a commanding situation on 

 a high, tree-covered knoll at the south end of the Zoological 

 Park. The situation seems as if specially formed by Na- 

 ture to be occupied by this buJlding, and its outside en. 

 closures. The drainage is quite perfect, and the yards are 

 well-shaded.
