THE MAMMALS OF MOUNT MAZAMA. 
225 
Coyote. Canis lestes, Merriam. 
Klamath Indian name, Qaatox, Ko-la-a, Was. 
Coyotes occur on the mountain, but are not common. A few 
tracks were seen about the brink of Crater Lake. Mr. Preble 
secured a handsome specimen on Lost river late in September. 
Baird's Yellow Fox. Vulpes macrourus, Baird. 
Klamath Indian name, Wan-na. 
Tolerably common. At the time of our visit a family of these 
foxes had its den on Castle Crest, and another family on the rim of 
the Lake near the peak known as the Watchman. In fall and winter 
they doubtless come down to lower altitudes. About the middle of 
September Mr. Preble saw one near Fort Klamath. 
Gray Fox. Urocyon californicus, Mearns? 
Klamath Indian name, Sketch-loo-is. 
No specimens of the Gray Fox were seen by us, but Mr. Burton 
L. Cunningham told me that the species occurs at Fort Klamath. 
Grizzly Bear. Ursus horribilis, Ord. 
Klamath Indian name, Lok. 
The Grizzly is now exceedingly rare in the southern Cascades, 
where it was formerly common and destructive to stock. The last 
one seen in the Klamath region was killed in the upper part of 
Wood river valley, near Fort Klamath, in 1894 or 1895. It had 
killed a number of cattle and calves belonging to a Mr. Vaugn, who 
has a ranch near Anna Creek, and who shot it with a set gun. For 
this information I am indebted to Capt. O. C. Applegate and Mr. 
Burton L. Cunningham. 
Respecting the former range of the Grizzly in western Oregon, 
Capt. Applegate writes me: "On the west side of the Cascades very 
few Grizzlies have been known to stray north beyond the Umpqua 
Mountains, and none beyond the Calapooia Mountains. East of the 
Cascades they ranged as far north as Crooked river not many years 
ago. ' ' 
Black Bear. Ursus americanus, Pallas. 
Klamath Indian name, We-tam. 
Apparently not common. On August 25, Mr. Bailey and I
