. Erhaltung von Fischen, Vögeln und Wild . Es ist sehr einfach vorherzusagen, was passieren wird, wenn bestimmte existierende Gefahren für die Schafe und Maultierhirsche der Rocky Mountains nicht vor diesen Tieren knapp werden. Der Berg caribou ist deutlich ein britisches ColumbiaCanbou Tier, und seine Ernährungsgewohnheiten sind so, dass es nicht finden, die Osthang sehr allgemein geeignet, um seine Anforderungen. Caribou findet man entweder in dichten, feuchten Wäldern, wo sie die kleinen sumpfigen Biberwiesen befahren, oder auf offenen moosbedeckten Hängen oberhalb der Holzgrenze, oder im hohen Norden. Der äußerste Süden ihrer Reichweite ist

. Conservation of fish, birds and game . t is very easy to predict what will happen if certain exist-ing dangers to the sheep and mule deer of the Rockies are not curbedbefore these animals become scarce. The mountain caribou is distinctly a British ColumbiaCanbou animal, and its food habits are such that it does not find the East slope very generally suited to its require-ments. Caribou are found either in dense, moist forests, where theyfrequent the small marshy beaver meadows, or on open moss-coveredhillsides above timber-line, or in the far north. The extreme southernend of their range is in northern Idaho, where the high mountainbeaver meadows near the edge of timber seem to be their favouritehaunt. They are essentially northern animals, are able to subsistunder very severe weather conditions, and are much more abundantin the Alberta Rockies north of the Athabaska than south of it. Theoccurrence of caribou on the East slope south of 53° is limited to thewest side of the Athabaska river from the Miette south to Fortress. bk; game of the Canadian rockies i»7 kike. Ten years ago they were much more numerous and were foundwell down the Athabaska below the present site of Jasper park, butthey have been very much reduced, and at present it is doubtful if anyremain throughout the year on the Alberta side, as it seems generallyagreed among guides of that region that the whole band winters inBritish Columbia. Among the carnivorous animals of the Rockies theGrizzly grizzly bear is easily the most important though not the most numerous. This animal occurs threughoutthe East Slope region, but is everywhere very scarce. Its principalhome is in British Columbia, in the Selkirk mountains and betweenthe Selkirks and the Rockies. On the Alberta side it is probably mostabundant in the neighbourhood of mount Robson, but I have seengrizzlies or evidence of their presence south of the Crowsnest, in theHighwood and Kananaskis valleys, at Pipestone pass, the headwatersof the North
