in supplementary lists and some of it falls naturally under this 

 head. The remainder contains little of great importance, taken 

 alone, and will have to wait a possible future publication, when 

 a further accumulation of data warrants a reconsideration of 

 the whole matter. 



Since the last trip mentioned in the introduction, May 31, 

 1907, was made, three more visits have been paid to tbe Point, 

 as follows : 



August 24, 1907, in company wilh W. E. Saunders, Norman 

 A. Wood, and J. S. Wallace, we established camp in the old 

 situation marked "Camp Coues" on the accompanying map. 

 This year, however, camping was not all roses, as it had been 

 previous seasons. The days were beautiful, but the nights were 

 rendered unbearable by the presence of clouds of mosquitoes. 

 Nor was there any escape from them. They were of an unusu-

 to the extreme end and the migrations therefrom. The shoot- 

 ing season opened the 1st of September and we examined the 

 bags made by the hunters, questioned them closely, and receiv- 

 ed some good material in the way o>f specimens and notes from 

 them. We were on the ground rather earlier this fall than we
