scattered thinly and at long intervals throughout British 
Columbia and Alaska as far as the head of Cook Inlet, as 
shown on the accompanying map. 
Up to the year 1903, only four white goats had ever been 
exhibited alive in the United States east of the Rocky Moun- 
tains. In 1905 five living specimens were procured at Fort 
Steele, B. C., and taken to the New York Zoological Park, 
where they throve remarkably well. They bred and reared 
their young (for the first time in captivity); and ever since 
1905 a herd of these odd animals has been maintained in the 
park mentioned. 
PRONG-HORNED ANTELOPE FAMILY 
Antilocapridae 
This unique Family, of one species and one subspecies, 
must not be confused or in any way connected with the large 
and important group of African antelopes, which contains a 
grand array of animals of all sizes, many of them odd and 
many of them noted for their beauty. The student who has 
a special liking for the large hoofed animals surely will find 
pleasure in making the acquaintance of such superb creatures 
as the sable antelope, the koodoo, the water-buck, the eland, 
the oryx, the gnu, the pallah and the hartebeest of Africa. 
We have reason to envy Africa her exclusive possession of all 
those fine creatures, not to mention her other hoofed ani- 
mals, great and small. 
Tue Pronc-Hornep ANTELOPE! is found only in North 
America, and it possesses so many anatomical peculiarities,
