Abstract
LAST summer, at San Pedro, California, I was shown a goat which had just been brought over from San Clemente Island. Mr. Müller, the owner of the animal, told me that the goats of that island, running practically wild since the unknown date of their introduction, were all alike, constituting an easily recognisable race. The animal was quite reddish, about the colour of a red deer; front of face black; a pale (reddish) stripe down each side of nose, and enclosing the eye; cheeks black; chin light; ears blackish above; neck and anterior part of body strongly suffused with black. The light facial stripes were particularly distinct.
