tive Committee to take action on this matter as soon as 
possible. 
Dr. Palmer reported, in this connection, that the 
Montana National Bison Range, the Wind Cave Na- 
tional Game Preserve, the Niobrara Reservation and 
the Wichita National Game Preserve are all very well 
suited to antelope. 
In reply to a question from the Secretary as to 
why the few antelope which had been placed on the 
Montana and Wichita Ranges had not succeeded better, 
Dr. Palmer stated that, in his opinion, coyotes were 
responsible in the former, and hurts received during 
shipment in the latter. It is very difficult to ship ante- 
lope without losing a large percentage of the animals 
both during and after the journey. There followed a 
general discussion of this problem. 
Dr. Palmer suggested that where the census shows 
that there is but a single bison owned by a municipality, 
a state, or other public agency, the Secretary suggest 
to the authorities in charge the advisability of obtain- 
ing an animal of the other sex, in order to perpetuate 
the breed, and that the Secretary communicate with 
Dr. Palmer with reference to the matter. 
The Board then adjourned. 
WILLIAM P. WHARTON, 
Secretary.
