while the specimen itself Is insignificant
yet its presence in the collection proves
Enthusiastically that cameIs once existed
in a locality north of the arctic circle
The find was located at a point about
fifty miles from the mouth of the Old
Crow River, in the Yukon territory. Can
ada, not far from the Yukon-Alaskan
boundary line. The Old Crow rises in
Alaska. crosses the dividing line. and
Joins the Porcupine River, a branch OF
the Yukon flowing from Yukon into
Alaska Heretofore the northern limit
of the range of fossil camels in America
has been Silver Lake or Christmas Lake,
Oregon. which is just north of the forty
third parallel Of latitude and some q
degrees to the south OF the new north
ern limit.
1t is known that several large species
of camels were very abundant on this
continent during both the Pliocene and
the Pleistocene periods. and the discov-
cry of their remains in the Pieistocene
deposits Of the Alaskan Peninsula was
not altogether unlocked for. although
their occurrence SO far within the arctic
circle was scarcely expected. This veri-
fication of their former presence within
that region, therefore, is Of especial in
terest, in that 1t greatly extends the
known geographic distribution of this
important group of mammals in America
during this period. incidentally adding
proof in support of the supposition that
milder climatic conditions prevailed in
Alaska during probably the greater part
of the Pleistocene period. 1t also tends
to support the theory Of the existence
Of wide Asiatic-Alaskan land connec-
ton of comparatively recent date. which
for a great length Of time served as a
highway for the migration OF mammals
from the Old World to America

took part in Its own roundup, and all
the outfits Of given region combined to
send representatives TO the two or three
round-ups that covered the neighbour
hoods near by into which their cattle
might drift. For example. our Little
Missouri roundup generally worked
down the river from a distance OF some
fifty or sixty miles above my ranch to-
ward the Kildeer Mountains. about the
same distance below. In addition, we
would usually send representatives to
the Yellowstone roundup. and to the
roundup along the upper Little Missouri;
and. moreover, IL we heard that cattle
had drifted. perhaps toward the Indian
reservation southeast of us, we would
send a wagon and rider after them.

the bitterest weather; and we had plenty
to eat. Commonly the mainstay of every
meal was game of our own killing,
usually antelope or deer. sometimes
grouse or ducks, and occasionally, in the
earlier days, buffalo or elk. We also
had -four and bacon, sugar. salt. and
canned tomatoes.
And later. when some OF the men mar

jams and jellies made from the wild

ranchmen at that time never had milk

effort was not successful. chiefly because
we did not devote the needed time and
patience to the matter. And we found
that to race a COW two miles at full

were eight or ten riders, the cowpunch-
ers, while their horses, a band Of a
hundred or so. were driven by the two
herders, one of whom was known as the
day wrangler. and one as the night
wrangler.
The men were lean. sinewy fellows, &C
customed to riding half-broken horses at
any speed over any country by day or by
night They wore flannel shirts, with
loose handkerchiefs knotted round their
necks. broad hats. high-heeled boots with
tingling spurs. and sometimes leather
snaps, although often they merely had
their trousers tucked into the tops of
their high boots. There was good deal
of rough horse-play. and, as with any
other gathering of men or boys OF high
animal spirits, the horse-play sometimes
became very rough indeed; and as the
men usually carried revolvers, and as
there were occasionally one or two noted
gun-hghters among them. there was now
and then a shooting ARRAY. A man who

cal comparisons.
The horse whose skull has Just come

Other specimens of the same species

Western Texas, Eastern Nebraska, and
Western Iowa. DR.. Hay also mentions
the fossil teeth and leg-bone OF the horse
found in Yukon by Mr.. Amory, ana
stated that one OF the upper molars pre-
sents a similar appearance to that OF the
Alaskan morse described IN MS paper. II
is understood that the horses which lived
in North America during the Pleistocene
Age were probably derived from stock
which crossed over from Asia into Alaska
and then made their way over nearly the
whole of both North and South America.
