In cidentally, it became known the expedition almost cost Colonel Roosevelt his life. In crossing the Himalaya moun tains over the Karakoram Pass, he was caught in a snow slide and carried down a steep mountain side. With . agility, however, he ended his descent on toy of the slide instead of under it.

Included ln the game bagged by the Roosevelt party, all of which is to go to the field museum of Chicago, was the much heralded Ovis Poll, the huge wild sheep of the Russian and Chinese Pamir. The hunters' wives returned with a tiger apiece to their credit, hav ing shot the animals after poining their husbands in India.

There were also more than 800 small mam mals, birds and reptiles, some of which, he believed, had not before been described by scientists. He said he believed that some of the animal groups were the only complete groups that any museum in the world had of cer tain species. Among the trophie were four Ovis Poll rams with horns measuring more than fifty inches in span. He said he be lieved the party had obtained the largest ibex horns on record, a pair measuring 59& inches, bag god by Kermit.
