IN THE ALASKA-YUKON GAMELANDS 



I cannot refrain from expressing a slight pref- 

 erence for the narrow type (small spread) horn 

 as compared to the diverging (wide spread). 

 This statement applies not only to our noble 

 Rocky Mountain sheep {ovis canadensis), but to 

 the beautiful white (and allied) sheep of the 

 North as well. 



When we reached camp at 8:30 p. m. we 

 learned that Harry and Wooden had spent the 

 day moose hunting south of camp, but without 

 success. William, Al and Cap went for the cow 

 moose that was killed the day before. 



Thus ended the hunting days of our party on 

 this trip, so we planned to leave for McCarthy 

 the next morning. In some respects the event 

 of our leaving the hunting country ushered in a 

 certain degree of sadness. Our trip had been 

 wonderfully filled with experience and adven- 

 ture; our endurance had at times been tested to 

 the limit; we were taking home some beautiful 

 specimens for our museum (with others later to 

 follow which our guides promised would be sent) ; 

 so to some extent we relished the change that 

 was to take us to the outside.
