THK MAMMALS OF MOUNT MAZAMA. 
Snowshoe Rabbit. Lepus washingtoni, Baird. 
Klamath Indian name, Chi. 
Tolerably common, but exceedingly difficult to procure in 
summer. Tracks were seen among the thick clumps of young ever- 
greens about Crater Lake. Some years ago a number of specimens, 
killed near Fort Klamath, were sent me by Major Bendire. 
Northern Jack Rabbit. Lepus campestris, Bachman. 
Klamath Indian name, Chi. 
Moderately common in the openings and plains about the base 
of the mountain. A specimen sent me by Major Bendire, killed 
near Fort Klamath, November 15. 1882, is in the change from the 
grayish-brown coat of summer to the white coat of winter. 
Puma; Mountain Lion; Panther. Felis hippolestes olympus, 
Merriam. 
Klamath Indian name, Dos-lotcb. 
Pumas or Mountain Lions are still plentiful in Oregon. In 
going from our first camp on the southwest side of the rim of Crater 
Lake to Glacier Peak, Mr. Bailey and I observed the tracks of two 
Pumas, which we crossed several times in the dense hemlock forest. 
They were traveling together and were evidently hunting deer. 
Canada Lynx. Lynx canadensis, (Geoff.) 
The Lynx, which is a more Boreal animal than the Wild Cat, 
inhabits' the higher mountains, and sometimes ranges down into the 
foothills. It was not obtained by us, but Mr. Elmer J. Applegate 
of Swan Valley, near Klamath Falls, writes me that his father and 
brother have both killed Lynxes as well as Wild Cats in this region. 
It seems safe to assume that the species is the same as that of Mount 
Adams in the Cascade Range just north of the Columbia. 
Wild Cat. Lynx fasciaivs, Raf. 
Klamath Indian name, Wol-kot-ska. 
Tracks were seen by Mr. Bailey near Crater Lake, but no 
specimens were obtained. 
Gray Wolf; Timber Wolf. Canis griseus, Sabine. 
Klamath Indian name, Kow-a-chis. 
Formerly common, but now extremely rare in the southern 
Cascade region and not met with by our parties.
