At the approach of the Vati- can council he openly declared against defi- ning the doctrine of pontifical infallibility. Be- sides the works already mentioned, he wrote devoir des Catholiques dans la question de liber te d 1 enseignement (1844) ; Saint An- me, fragment de V introduction d VMstoire Saint Bernard (1844) ; Quelques conseils aux 'atholiques (1849); Des interets catholiques ux XIX* siecle (1852; English translation, 1853) ; L^Avenir politique de V Angleterre (1855 ; English translation, 1856) ; Une nation deuil, la Pologne en 1861 (1861) ; Le pere cordaire (1862) ; and Le Pape et la Pologne 864).

The territory is divided into 11 coun- s, viz. : Beaver Head, Big Horn, Choteau, wson, Deer Lodge, Gallatin, Jefferson, Lew- is and Clarke, Madison, Meagher, and Missoula.

The Crows have a reser- vation bounded W. and N". by the Yellowstone river, E. by the 107th meridian, and 8. by Wyoming. The other tribes have had assigned to them the region S. of the Marias and Mis- souri rivers. The Blackfeet never and the Bloods seldom visit their agency, roaming most of the time N. of the British line. Besides those enumerated in the table, there are some roving Sioux not belonging to any agency. The E. portion of the territory, about three fifths of the whole, consists chiefly of rolling table lands or plains; the W. part is mountainous. The main chain of the Rocky mountains, after form- ing for a considerable distance the S. W. boun- dary, suddenly (in lat. 45 40') bends E. for some distance, and then runs N. about 20 W. to the N. border of the territory. The Bitter Root range, leaving the main chain at the bend, continues in a N. W. direction along the boundary to its intersection with the 116th
