sight of the ranch house we came upon launches of 

 three, six, and four anteh)pe (too far away to dis- 

 tinguish sex), tw^o single ])ucks and a bunch of four, 

 (buck, doe, and two kids). Probably the same antelope 

 which were earlier at the Calderwood Ranch. After 

 supper we walked to the rim rock on the east side of 

 the Jacob's Reservoir. Several antelope were always 

 in sight. These we did not include in the total count as 

 some of them may have been counted above. The rim 

 rock showed abundant sign of bobcats and sage grouse. 

 Antelope, coyotes and sage grouse were almost con- 

 stantly in sight. Considerable immbers of ducks and 

 geese resort here. Total antelope seen during the day 

 was twenty-four. 



In 1917 the total numl)er of antelope seen in this 

 area was thirty-two. 



In 1917, at an abandoned sheep camp near Jack's 

 Lake, we found the remains of a large number of sage 

 grouse, Canada geese, and the head and hoofs of a 

 yearling antelope, which had apparently been used as 

 food. 



Mr. Stanley G. Jewett reported finding the remains 

 of other antelope and deer, probably killed by Indians. 



September 24: Starting at 7 A. M. we walked 

 southerly about four miles. Sage grouse were very 

 numerous, frequently bunches of fifty or more would 

 be in sight at once. Coyotes w^ere numerous and un- 

 afraid. Of antelope we saw two separate bucks and 

 then a band of fourteen, apparently ten does and four 

 bucks (doubtless the older kids were indistinguishable 

 from the adults). We watched this band and saw it 

 break up, four going to the south of the creek and ten 

 north, disappearing over the lava ridges. In addition, 

 a buck, doe, and tw^o kids were seen, but were not in- 

 cluded in the count as they were probably counted 

 yesterday. In the bed of the reservoir was a band of 

 eighteen, including three large old bucks and at least 

 six kids, frolicking near the creek l)ank. On seeing us 

 they stampeded at full jump and passed us. We con- 

 cluded that there w^ere at least thirty-nine antelope 

 and probably more in a radius of four miles of Jacob's
