OBSERVATIONS ON THE FAUNA OF THE 



EASTERN PORTION OF THE 



ST. ELIAS RANGE 



The narrative contained in the preceding pages has 

 sought to set forth, among other matters, a correct and ac- 

 curate record of the writer's observations of animal life in 

 that part of the Yukon Territory covered by my expedition ; 

 that the record is not complete is a matter of regret, but 

 obviously the time spent in this region was all too short 

 for exhaustive and conclusive observation. The writer has 

 only attempted to chronicle his observations of the creatures 

 of the wild in the connection of hunting them, and to this 

 phase he deems it advisable and possibly of interest, at least 

 to the naturalist, to add his further observations, and also 

 to set forth some facts gained from several of his guides, 

 who have lived near and hunted in this region for years, 

 whose observations of the fauna have not only covered a 

 very considerable period, but have been made with a keen 

 and intelligent interest and desire to know the habits of ani- 

 mals of this locality. The facts gained from these sources 

 the writer regards as reliable and particularly valuable for 

 the extension of knowledge of animal life. 



It should be remembered that these observations are con- 

 fined to animal life in the St. Elias Range above the Generc
