The bear appeared to be at his greatest weight about December I, 

 19 10, and would probably have reached or exceeded 1200 pounds 

 at that time, but could not then be weighed. 



The decrease shown by the weighing on March 5, 1909, doubtless 

 resulted from extensive " corns " on all four feet and their excision 

 June 15, 1908, which, altogether, crippled the animal for some 

 months.
