The following, abstract of an address given by Dr. C. Hart Mer- 
riam before the Mazanias at the Auditorium in Portland, September 
22, 1896, was considered so valuable for its suggestion of future 
lines of work for the society, that it is reprinted here. 
*Based mainly on Grinnell's synonymy in Forest & Stream. XXXIII. 384, Dec. 5, 1889. 
tin speaking of the Mountain Goat, Rafinesque states: "This animal has been called Ovis 
montana, by Ord, but the genus Ovix, or rather An'cs, has hollow and flat horns: this species, with 
the following and the Mazama puda, will form a particular subgenus (or perhaps genus\ which I 
shall call Oreamnos, distinguished by the horns slightly curved backwards or outwards, often rough 
or annulated, and long hair, besides living in mountains. '
