Hares and spermophiles showed themselves in considerable numbers in shallow places, and small bands of antelopes were almost constantly in sight, gazing curiously from some slight elevation, and then bounding swiftly away with unrivaled grace of motion.

野兔和嗜精动物大量出现在浅水区，小群羚羊几乎一直在视线范围内，它们从稍微高一点的地方好奇地注视着，然后以无与伦比的优雅动作迅速跳开。

The two spermophiles are astonishingly abundant in the lowlands and lower foot-hills, but more and more sparingly distributed up through the Douglas domains, -seldom venturing higher than six or seven thousand feet above the level of the sea.

这两种嗜精菌在低地和低山脚下的数量惊人地丰富， 但越来越少地分布在道格拉斯地区——很少冒险到海拔六七千英尺以上的地方。
