"We were told by the caretaker at Mr. Callbreath's farm, across the 

 river from Glenora, that a band of ten or twelve caribou had spent the 

 previous winter on the unforested summit of Glenora Mountain, where 

 he had often watched them with a field glass. This may represent the

 legs awkwardly folded underneath. Photograph taken near Telegraph Creek, 

 May 27, 1919. 



Oreamnos montanus columbianus Allen. Columbian Mountain Goat

 we climbed the mountain just south of Doch-da-on Creek. As soon as 

 the belt of upright timber was passed, goat sign was seen on all sides. 

 Broad, well-beaten trails wound through the thickets of prostrate
