_Specimen examined_ (1).--8-1/2 mi. N, 1-1/2 mi. E Camp Crook, 1.
The white-tailed deer is less abundant in northwestern South Dakota
than is _O. hemionus_, but a number were seen by members of our parties
(in Deer Draw of the Slim Buttes, for example), and local residents
reported many sightings to us. Visher (1914:82) earlier recorded this
species as once "fairly plentiful in the forest reserves" in Harding
County, but stated that it had become rare when he made his biological
survey of the area in 1910 and 1912.
