5. Oreamnos montanus (Ord). MOUNTAIN GOAT. 



Four specimens, Shesley Mountains, August 24-28. All 

 are males, three of them being old adults and the other about 

 half grown. They are in poor coat, and the color is soiled 

 white, quite different from the clear white of winter pelage. 

 Following are the measurements of the three adult males: 

 Total length, 1625 (1549-1676); tail vertebrae, 191 (178-203); 

 hind foot, 356 (343-368); height at shoulders, 971 (929-992). 

 The smallest specimen of the three (represented by the mini- 

 mum measurements in the parentheses) is perhaps not fully 

 adult.

In the November series the ventral surface in many of the

 then whitish banded near the tip with black, this being the 

 coloration of the winter dress ; but many of the specimens still
