In the P.M., we hunted at the lower part of the main valley and saw two deer, but they were my fleeting glimpses. The roebucks feed not in early A.M. & late P.M., in the open marshy places at the edge of the woods where the grass is long & scant. They lie up in the middle of the day from about 9 A.M. till 4 P.M., in the heavy cover under bushes or fallen trees. The best way is to hunt them in the open. We saw a flock of ptarmigan and I shot one at 5:45 an adult, a chick about the size of a quail. There were several more chicks but I got all the old birds. The whole country here as well as the fauna indicates that we are well within the Siberian life zone. In fact, Moga seems to be right at the edge of it. Here we have the reindeer, moose elk, plan Siberian bear, roebuck, pla. morgan, capercaillie, pika, everhups & martens. (In this main valley are many marutholes but the animals have all been killed by the wamples.) I have seen a black wood- pecker which I think is the arctic three-toed. At Syn-Noyon / Khan's place S.W. of Moga, the same fauna is reported with the addition of ibex &
