The San Clemente goat, named after the island of Sun Clemcute, off the- coast of California, is a species unknown olsewhere and without a history. Whether it was imported on to the island at some distant date or whether it is indigenous to the island or not is unasoertainable. The island, no doubt, at some remote period formed part of the mainland, and possibly these goats may have roamed in vast numbers; but, if 60, the island goats are the last of their race, for nothing is now mot with like them on the mainland. The goats are reddish in colour, somewhat after the colour of red deer, the front of the face black, with pale reddish stripe down each side of the nose and enclosing the eye. The cheeks are black, the chin a lightish colour, ears somewhat blackish above, and the neck and anterior part of the body strongly suffused with black. They have, of course, never been crossed, and retain their original colour and oaaiacteriatics.
