of the party killed a female bear having with her two cubs, one quite black 

 in color and the other brown, and this, it is stated, is not uncommon. One 

 fine skin obtained. 



This animal is very frequently found in nearly the whole of the hilly 

 and wooded country of Arizona. The Coyotero and Mogollon Mountains 

 appear to be the home of this class of animals. Skins were often brought 

 into camp by the Indians at Camp Apache. 



Skins of var. cinnamomeus were obtained at Camp Apache, and it was 

 also seen at Bill Williams' Mountain, and is chiefly found along the eastern 

 border of Arizona and into New Mexico. Obtained by Lieutenant Mar- 

 shall at Pagosa Hot Springs, Western Colorado, in 1874.
