NOS 3 SMITHSONIAN EXPLORATIONS, IQI5 a7 
We reached Nizhni Kolymsk September 29 with our last provisions and the 
first permanent snow. Two weeks later winter was upon us in good earnest 
and the broad Kolyma was frozen over solidly. 
Fic. 49—Big Anyui River. Second elevated silt bank near center, looking 
up-stream. June, IQI5. 
Fic. 50.—Tundra silt facing ocean. Notice amount of driftwood in this little 
gully. The mammoth skull was found about 300 yards from the beach. 
Between Cape Big Baranoff and Chaun Bay. August, 1015. 
During the long winter months I had no opportunity whatever for further 
research.
