This census is not an actual count but is the result of close es- inmates made by men who are con- 5tantly on the ground and a1e keeping tab on game conditions from year to year.
 The antelope shows a slight in crease, except in the few herds that are in captivity, which do not seem co thrive. Those on open range are doing well and in some instances have become a nuisance to farmers. Tt has been found that young ante lope can be raised no a bottle suc- cessfully. These youngsters become tame and when accustomed to handling can be shipped anywhere without danger.
 Deer show a steady increase. In the Kaibab forest. over-p0pulation IS still acute and no effective plan mas been definitely agreed upon for controlling the size of this herd. Starvation takes it's annual toll,
