species, but are found in the same localities, in most of 

 the canons. Mountain-lion arc becoming quite plenti- 

 ful in some localities ; lynx arc also on the increase. 



The gray wolf and coyote are found out on the dry 

 plains in nearly all parts of the state ; the first is becom- 

 ing rather scarce, while the latter is plentiful. 



Jack-rabbit are most plentiful of all the furred game, 

 but are diminishing somewhat on account of disease 

 and the great slaughter of them annually. They can be 

 found in most parts of the state, but are most numerous 

 at Cedar valley, about thirty-five miles by rail from Salt 

 Lake City, where in two days' shooting the results were 

 2,200 for the first and 1,800 for the second day, about 

 thirty shooters participating. 



Of the feathered game, there arc sage-hen or cock-of- 

 the-plains, willow-grouse, ruffed grouse, blue or dusky 

 grouse, sharp-tailed grouse, and a few California quail. 

 A few bob-white are found in the vicinity of Salt Lake 

 City. 



California quail are very numerous in the south part 

 of Utah, often being found in flocks of as many as two 

 or three hundred in the latter part of the season after 

 breeding-time. 



Mallard duck, canvasback, redhead, blue-winged teal, 

 green-winged teal, pintail, widgeon, ruddy, and butter- 

 ball are migratory. The only species of duck said to 

 breed in Utah arc widgeon and teal, mostly the latter. 

 Duck arc not very numerous during the fall season, but 

 in the spring are quite plentiful, although not in very 

 good condition. Snipe and plover are migratory birds.
