Read the following passage and then determine if the quotations and paraphrases are correctly cited.

From: Matthiessen, Peter.  The Snow Leopard.  NY: Penguin Books, 1978.  Page 195.  Note that the book takes place in Tibet.

Moving away without haste up an open slope beyond the rise, the wolves bring the barren hills to life.  Two on the slope to northward frisk and play, but soon they pause to look us over, their tameness is astonishing.  Then they cut across the hill to join three others that are climbing a stone gully.  The pack stops each little while to gaze at us, and through the telescope we rejoice in every shining hair: two silver wolves and two of faded gold, and one that is the no-color of frost: this frost-colored wolf, a big male seems to be the leader.  All have black tail tips and a delicate black fretting on the back.  "That's why there's no sign of fox or leopard!" GS says, "and that's why the blue sheep stay near the river cliffs, away from this open country!"  I ask if the wolves would hunt and kill the fox and leopard, and he says they would.  For some reasons, the wolves' appearance here has taken us by surprise; it is in Tibet that such mythic creatures belong.  This is an Asian race of Canis lupus, the timber wolf, which both of us have seen in Alaska, and it is always an exciting animal: the empty hills where the pack has gone have come to life.  In a snow patch are five sets of wolf tracks, and old wolf scats along the path contain brittle gray stuff and soft yellow hair - blue sheep and marmot.
