Three specimens of mink taken upon the coast at Port Ange- 

 les I refer to the sub-species described by Bangs (1. c.). It is a 

 large animal, varying considerably in color, and some specimens 

 have the chin and center of throat and anal region white, with 

 straggling white hairs upon the breast. The tails have nearly 

 the terminal half, black. One specimen has a small spot on chin, 

 another on the breast, and the anal region, white. Specimens 

 also vary a good deal in size. 



Three examples: Barnes Creek, Lake Crescent, i; Lagune 

 near Port Angeles, 2.

Only one specimen, a female in full summer pelage, was pro- 

 cured, and this species did not seem to be plentiful anywhere we 

 went. Tracks were seen along the banks of the Ehvah River 

 near the site of our first camp, but we did not succeed in trap- 

 ping any there, and it was not until we reached the summit of the 

 mountains in the vicinity of Happy Lake that the only individual 

 we brought back was taken. 



As I believe no description of this species in summer pelage 

 has yet been published, I give the following of this specimen. 



Adult female, taken 2jth August, 1898, Happy Lake, Olympic 

 Mountains, Clallam County, Washington. 



Entire upper parts pale chocolate brown, this color including 

 the flanks and the sides of the abdomen, sides and upper parts of 

 fore and hind legs. Chin white. Under parts and lower portions 

 of fore and hind legs and sides of neck, yellow-ochre. Tail 

 darker than the back, inclining to reddish, with the terminal 

 third jet black. Fore feet and wrists white. Hind feet dark 

 brown, darker than the legs. Ears same color as back. Total 

 length, 400 mm.; tail, 180; hind leg, 42; ear, n. Dr. Merriam 

 (1. c.) gives total length 240 mm. This must be a typographical 

 error, and 440 is meant. 



One specimen, Happy Lake.
