The Kadiak Bear and his Home 



is bigger than the big brown bear of the mainland 

 is doubtful. At present the growth of these bears 

 is badly interfered with by the natives, and they 

 rarely reach the old bear age, when these brutes 

 become massive in their bony structure, and accu- 

 mulate a vast amount of fat, just before denning 

 up.
