THE MOUNTAIN-GOAT 227 



Some writers say we may find a few of these curious 

 animals in isolated colonies in the high mountains in 

 Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. OwenWister, 

 however, gives the range as extending from Alaska to 

 Montana and Idaho, but only in "spots" in the two 

 States named. Goats are also found, he says, in the 

 northern Cascades in Washington, but not in the Olym- 

 pic range nor in the southern Cascades in Oregon.
