to his age, size, and weight he was probably unable to catch his game as in his youth so he followed along the river among the many camps eating the fish entrails and other refuse of the campers. There was no signs of the Coyote being previously trapped or injured by man, but under his skin was a large pussey sack. It was approximately three inches long and an inch and an half wide. There was no signs of a sore on the antloid but when cut into during skinning a large amount of matter flowed out. I could find no cause for this infection or sore. Near the log jam at the south east corner of the little Lake I noticed a flock of swallows (20-25) perched in a dead tree They flew at my approach but on waiting under the tree for a few minutes they returned. I was able to shoot two & and on studying them closely I believe them to be the Rough-winged Swallow.
