14. A band of 9 was reported in 1923 on Spring Lake ranch, Lamb County ;

FlG. 16, — Distribution of antelope in Texas, estimated at 2,407, in 42 areas 
22. Twenty-five are reported in Andrews County. 
23. Fifteen are reported in Mitchell County. 
24. In 1922, 10 to 12 were reported as ranging in northern Hudspeth 
County, southwest of Orange, N. Mex. 
25. Several small bands, aggregating about 65 antelope, were reported in 
1922 as occurring in central Hudspeth County. A. E. Gray, in charge of the 
rodent work of the Biological Survey in Texas, writes that the consensus of 
opinion among ranchmen is that these animals are gradually decreasing. 
The stockmen state that, in addition to the antelope killed by local residents, 
numbers are killed by hunters from El Paso who make annual trips into that 
country during the deer season. In the fall of 1924, however, the State game 
department estimated a total of 125 antelope in Hudspeth County; in the 
absence of details as to their distribution it may be assumed that this indi- 
cates an increase in herd No. 25,
