It will be seen from the above that none of the species or 

 subspecies is common to both the Sitkan coast and the Tele- 

 graph Creek region. 



In regard to the personnel of the Expedition, Mr. Stone had 

 with him as field assistants Mr. Malcom P. Anderson, a stu- 

 dent of Stanford University, who was engaged especially to 

 take charge of the work of collecting small mammals; Mr. 

 Belmore H. Browne, of Tacoma, Washington, as general field 

 assistant ; and Dennis, a Tahltan Indian, who did good service 

 as a hunter and trapper. Mr. Stone speaks in the highest 

 terms of their efficiency and faithfulness. While Mr. Stone is 

 personally to be credited with the capture and preservation 

 of the large game, he also assisted whenever possible in the 

 small mammal collecting, with a view to securing as large 

 and as varied a collection as possible. All the specimens 

 were carefully measured in the flesh before skinning, and the 

 measurements, especially in the case of the large series of 

 small mammals, bear internal evidence of the care with which 

 they were taken and recorded. 



A type-written report of the season's work was submitted 

 by both Mr. Stone and Mr. Anderson, the latter's relating 

 especially to the small mammals and the character of the 

 localities at which they were collected. These reports have 

 been extensively drawn upon in the foregoing introduction, 

 and many of Mr. Anderson's field notes will be found quoted 

 in the following annotated list of the species. 



The only special faunal paper bearing upon the mammals 

 of the Telegraph Creek region is a short report on the collection 

 made by Mr. Stone in 1897-98 (this Bulletin, Vol. XII, 1899,
