R O C K Y M O U N T A I N GOAT— Oreamnos montanus ( Ord).
The Nahanni tribe of Chipewyan, or Athabasca, Indians
of the Mackenzie River District kill a number of these
goats annually i n the northern ranges of the Rocky Mountains;
but it is perhaps remarkable that no w i l d sheep or
goats are met with i n even the most extensive spurs thereof
situated on or to the eastward of that great river. They extend,
however, north to the A r c t i c Circle, i f not beyond. At
Forts Norman and Good Hope the Company frequently
receives small quantities of the dried meat of this animal
from their Indian hunters on the west side of the river and
i n the mountains.
DAIX'S MOUNTAIN SHEEP— Ovis dalli ( Nelson).
It is probably this recently- determined variety or species
of w i l d sheep which inhabits the Rocky Mountains of
the lower Mackenzie R i v e r to the Arctic coast, while the true
Bighorn— Ovis canadensis ( Shaw)— exists i n the ranges to
the south. Some of the western Eskimos, who occasionally resorted
to Fort Anderson, wore outer coats or capotes made
from the skin of this animal, w i t h the hair attached. The
Nahanni tribe of Indians belonging to the Company's northern
posts of Nelson, L i a r d , Simpson, Norman, Good Hope,
Peel's River, and L a Pierre's House usually brought i n for
