touched on the northern shore of Patience Bay ; it lies about 

 midway between Lake Taraitika and Cape Patience. 



Early in July I left Saghalin, but left behind my collectors 

 in a place known by the name of Chipesani, distant a little 

 less than 50 kilometers from Korsakoff. The place lies on the 

 northern shore of Aniwa Bay, in close proximity to Lake 

 Chipesani. Two other lakes, viz., Wawaito and Busse, are situated 

 side by side with the first. The country around is diversified by 

 hills, flat grassy fields and by the usual coniferous forests ex- 

 tending far into the interior. Tunnaicha is the name of a 

 fourth and the largest lake in this part of Saghalin. ; it opens 

 north into the Sea of Okhotsk by a narrow outlet. Arakuri is 

 a village situated at a visible distance from Chipesani, close to 

 the outlet of Lake Busse into Aniwa Bay. A few kilometers 

 west of Chipesani and on the coast is the village of Melea. 

 My men stayed at Chipesani until October of the year. 



" The writer can not close this remark without mentioning 

 his great indebtedness to Mr. Alan Owston for the loan of the 

 collectors as well as of a sailing boat, which greatly helped to 

 ameliorate the discomfort of my camping sojourn in the wilder- 

 ness of Saghalin."
