Birds were plentiful along the river, and signs of beaver, deer, 
bear, otter and mink numerous. By the nature of this trip but 
few specimens were obtained. After a few days collecting at 
Killisnoo the main party was rejoined at Red Bluff Bay, Baranof 
Island.

east side of Baranof Island a little south of its middle. This bay 
is about four miles long by one-quarter to half a mile wide. 
Except at the head of the bay, the shores are steep or precipitous, 
and the surrounding mountains are high. At the head of the 
bay is a mud flat, the terminus of the bottom land bordering a 
small river coming from the west. There are a few aeres of 
erass land bordering the tide line; but above the reach of the 
highest tides the bottom is heavily timbered with fir and hem- 
lock, with much underbrush. The mountain sides are well tim- 
bered, but the summits are overspread with extensive snowfields. 
This is evidently the coldest region we had yet visited as there 
were still a few banks of snow down to sea level. Our departure 
from here was made on June 20.
