frequently been asserted, and positively stated in at least
one book, that in the north goats do not exist beyond the
easterly limits of the humid belt of the coast. This is

to a lesser extent, in the Yukon Territory. Just how far
into the interior they are to be found cannot be positively
stated, but I myself have seen them to the east of Teslin
Lake, and have heard of them being seen farther inland
still.
