Mr. Anderson had in the meantime devoted himself to the 

 collecting of small mammals, of which he obtained six species, 

 including a good series of topotypes of Citellus stonei. 



On June 21 the party left Sand Point for Kadiak Island 

 and Cook Inlet. A short stop was made at Kadiak Island 

 on June 24, and Seldovia was reached the next day; on the 

 26th the collecting of small mammals and birds was begun 

 and prosecuted vigorously at this point till August 3. A 

 little collecting was done at Barabori, near Homer, August 

 6-8, when the work was transferred to Sheep Camp, on Sheep 

 Creek, and continued there till September 9, and later at 

 Upper Sheep Camp, September 12-21, and at Moose Camp 

 from September 25 to October 8. 



In order to obtain sheep, moose, and caribou it was neces- 

 sary to establish a series of camps during August at suitable 

 localities for the fall hunt for these animals, in locating and 

 preparing which Mr. Stone was greatly indebted to the volun- 

 tary services of Mr. John Gillpatrick, " sailor and hunter," 

 of whose efficiency Mr. Stone speaks in his report in the 

 highest terms. On August 3 Mr. Stone, with his two assist- 

 ants, three Indian helpers, and Mr. Gillpatrick, left Seldovia 

 with the supplies for these camps, which were most judiciously 

 selected, as shown by the results of the fall hunt 3 bears, 

 1 6 white sheep, and 6 moose, all in good fall pelage, which 

 were preserved with special care for mounting as groups. 

 Also several hundred small mammals and many birds were 

 obtained at these camps. The hunt for caribou, however, 

 proved a failure, the small band of Rangifer stonei supposed 

 to be yet ranging in the Caribou Hills having crossed the 

 country into the mountains seat of Kussilluf Lake, about 

 twenty-five miles from their old range. Seldovia was reached 

 on the return trip, October 10, with the camp outfit and 

 specimens, thus ending a very successful season's work. 



The following brief account of the principal localities at 

 which collections were made is compiled from Mr. Anderson's 

 field notes.
