BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
7. Cariacus macrotis (Say). Blaektail deer. 
Seen on Swan River (one doe, one fawn, and one old buck). The old buck when 
first seen was standing in the road just ahead of us. As we drove toward him he 
made a few bounds and stopped behind the top of a fallen pine tree not over 40 feet 
from the road, and there he remained while we drove by and on down the road. Two 
others were seen within a few rods of the hotel at the Mammoth Hot Springs. Others 
were seen at various places about the Park. 
8. Antilocapra americana Ord. Antelope. 
Several were seen on Pacific Creek, between Jackson Lake and Two-Ocean Pass. 
9. Ovis canadensis Shaw. Mountain sheep. 
A skull was found near our camp on Dempsey Creek near Mount Powell. 
10. Bison bison (L.). Buffalo. 
Rone were seen in the Park, but it was reported, August 23, that a herd had been 
seen about that time on the east side of Yellowstone Lake. Charles Allard, a half-breed, 
who runs the stage line from Ravalli to Flathead Lake, has a herd of about 70 on his 
ranch on the Flathead Reservation. We were told that he was very successful in 
crossing them with domestic cattle. 
11. Canis latrans Say. Coyote. 
Heard at Silver Bow and Deer Lodge. 
12. Gulo luscus (L.). Wolverine. 
August 21, 1 saw one on the east shore of Yellowstone Lake near Steamboat Point. 
13. Mephitis sp. ? 
President Camp, on Snake River; also near Polecat Creek. 
14. Taxidea americana (Bodd.). Badger. 
One seen near Steamboat Point, August 21. 
15. Ursus americanus Pallas. Black hear. 
One seen one evening at the Lake Hotel. He had come up to feed at the swill 
barrel. Another seen on Lewis River below Upper Falls. Fresh bear tracks were 
also seen on Big Blackfoot River, above Bonner. 
16. Erethizon epixanthus Brandt. Porcupine. 
One dead one seen on east, side of Yellowstone Lake. At various places in the 
Park, and especially in the heavy pine forests south of the Park, about Shoshone, Lewis, 
and Yellowstone lakes, a great many pine trees were seen from which great patches 
of bark had been eaten away. These barkless areas frequently, perhaps usually, 
encircled the tree and were at various heights above the ground, from only a few inches 
to 25 to 35 feet ; generally, however, the height was 8 to 15 feet. Mr. Hofer and the 
other men of our party say that this is the work of porcupines and that the place 
indicates the depth of the snow.
