Looking N.E. into the valley of the Lamar River from the face of Specimen Ridge near the lower edge of the Fossil Forest, Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. In the distance the valley of Soda Butte Creek open to the left, with the saddle back ridge of the Thunderer (elev. 10,300ft.) beyond it. On the extensive meadows in the river valley hundreds of tons of hay are cut and stacked during the late summer by the men employed at the Buffalo Ranch, which lies a few miles to out left. During the winter, this hay is fed to the herd of about 900 head of buffalo living in the Park, when the deep snows prevent them from finding pasturage on the remote mountain slopes and among the ravines which they frequent in summer. (Lat. 45N.; Long 110W.)
