to the glacier instead of towards Struble. 
There two were killed by some excellent 
shooting and coasted to the bottom. 
One large goat remained on the cliff 
but as soon as the shots were fired he be- 
gan to climb for the top. That any ani- 
mal could ascend such a sheer precipice 
would seem impossible, but the goat ac- 
complished it with a wonderful exhibi- 
tion of mountain climbing. From my 
position at ~the bottom of the cliff I 
watched him closely, and with great in- 
terest. It was far more interesting and 
exciting than to have shot at him. 
Every once in a while he would stop, 
turn around and look down at me with 
that seriously-inquisitive and comical ex- 
pression, so peculiar to goats, as though 
he considered me to be the disturber of 
the peace of goatland. Then he would 
renew the ascent, occasionally displacing 
large rocks that came crashing down to 
the bottom. The billy goat is the acro- 
batic comedian of big game. 
Two or three times I distinctly saw 
this goat climb on his knees. In places 
the cliff was so steep that he could not 
have ascended at all unless he had made 
use of his knees instead of his fore 
hoofs. It appeared to be necessary to 
keep his center of gravity so he would 
not fall over backwards. Just before 
going over the top of the cliff he turned 
and looked down upon me with a stare 
of disdain and reproach. 
U NABLE to find rams at this loca- 
tion, camp was moved to the head 
of Eagle Nest Creek, and from this 
camp we hunted a mountain range over- 
looking Cold Fish Lake. The day was 
to be a long one, so we left camp early. 
Soon we passed five young caribou bulls 
at a lick and several willow and rock 
ptarmigan were flushed, also a lynx came 
within the view of the binoculars. 
Recent tracks of sheep were passed 
but no sheep were seen until towards 
evening, then, from a summit, we saw 
four large rams about three miles dis- 
tant in a range bordering the valley of 
the Spatsizi River. This range lies in 
a northeasterly direction from the head 
of Eagle Nest Creek and consists of the 
snowy mountains at the head of a valley 
that extends eastwardly from the source 
of that creek. 
It was too late to go after those rams, 
as they were in a region of very steep 
mountains, almost every one of which 
was covered with ice and snow, but there 
were green pastures, here and there, that 
must have been inviting to them. 
Many caribou trails led up the side of 
the mountain. Travel along the summit 
was easy but lower down the bush was 
exasperating m its resistance to tired 
man. There were many fossil shells scat- 
tered over the top of the mountain. After 
my return I sent one of them to Mr. 
George Otis Smith, Director of the Geo- 
logical Survey, who advises that it is a 
marine shell of a large species of Pecten, 
related to the modern edible scallop. 
“This fragment,” writes Mr. Smith, “is 
enough to show that marine waters cov- 
ered the area where it was found before 
the mountains that are now there were 
uplifted. All of the mountains of West- 
ern America are comparatively modern.
