ISOLATED HERDS OF PRONG-HORNED ANTELOPE 
Existing in 1914, but steadily diminishing. 
Even wild specimens only a few months in captivity are 
frequently subject to the attacks of an incurable disease 
called actinomycosis, or “‘lumpy-jaw,’ which I fear may 
greatly hasten the extinction of the species on its present 
ranges. 
Owing to the extreme difficulty of maintaining this species
