THE MAMMALS OF MOUNT MAZAMA. 
by Dr. J. A. Allen, and still later I purchased others from a soldier 
named Samuel Parker. 
Owing to the chaotic state in which a large proportion of the 
groups of North American mammals still remain, it has been neces- 
sary, in the preparation of the present paper, to make revisionary 
studies of the greater number of genera inhabiting the northwest 
coast region, involving the critical examination of several thousand 
specimens. It has been impossible to complete these studies in time 
to announce all the results in this list; subsequent work is sure to 
increase the number of recognized forms — particularly in wide 
ranging species. 
When camped at Crater Lake, Capt. O. C. Applegate, of 
Klamath Falls kindly brought to my tent two of the principal In- 
dians of the Klamath tribe, and assisted me in obtaining from them 
a vocabulary of their names for the native mammals; and has since 
sent me several additional names, thus covering all of the mammals 
known to these Indians. This has enabled me to give the Klamath 
names in the present paper. On showing the Indians specimens of 
the Pika, or Little Chief Hare (Ochotona) and Mountain Jumping 
Mouse (Zapus) I was surprised to find that these animals were un- 
known to them. On the other hand they discriminated between, 
and had special names for, the small Shrew, White-footed Mouse, 
and Field Mouse or Vole, as well as for the larger kinds. 
LIFE ZONES OF MOUNT MAZAMA. 
Mount Mazama, formerly known as Crater Lake Mountain, is 
in the southern part of the Cascade Range in Oregon, about 20 
miles north of old Fort Klamath. It is the basal part of what was 
once a large volcanic cone, but is now cut off at an altitude of about 
2,500 meters (8,200 feet). Its summit is a large caldron, nearly 
6 miles in diameter, and 1,220 meters (4,000 feet) in greatest 
depth. This caldron contains the far-famed Crater Lake, one of the 
most attractive bits of scenery on the American continent. There 
is no ' timber-line ' on Mount Mazama, although local timber-lines 
exist on Glacier Peak and one or two other of the higher crags.
