ABSTRACT

NOT long after our arrival I saw my fhst chamois, and, what is more, I saw some two days running. The first day it was a single buok that the dog moved on the Mushroom Ridge; and on the following day two ohamois lying between this and the Long Ridge, which saw me first and made traoks_ It was too early for chamois-shooting, so I contented myself with observing their habits and routes with a view to the future. On one oooasion my wife expressed a wish to see one, and I was able to show her two within three hundred yards at the end of a short walk. I did this by taking her up a wood path whioh started near our tent and ended just below the Mushroom Rook. This was the quiokest and easiest way to reaoh the oliffs.
