Abstract

Twenty-six Inyo mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus inyoensis) slid to their deaths down an icy snow bank on Bishop Pass (11,972 ft. elev.), Inyo Co., Calif. in early Nov., 1952 during the fall migration out of the Sierra Nevada. Previous occurrences of this type of accident have not been observed in this area.
