Studying a Specimen 



Party Starts at Ely, Minn. 



During the summer of 1912, the party spent 11 weeks in 

 the lake region and during this last summer five weeks were 

 spent. On both trips the start was made from Ely. 



From Ely the party went to White Iron lake by canoe down 

 the North Kawishiwi river.j The first camp was pitched on 

 the portage to Clear lake, that is on the south bank of the 

 North Kawishiwi river. Three weeks were spent here. About 

 100 specimens of mammals and birds were collected. The 

 route then took the party southward to the south branch of 

 the Kawishiwi river. Three more weeks were spent here and 

 50 specimens were collected.
