Port Frederick, Chichagof Island.—Port Frederick, a bay on 
the north side of Chichagof Island, was again visited from July 
25 to August 1. Camp was made this time within three miles 
of the extreme head of the bay, where a 60-yard portage sepa- 
rates it from the head of Tenakee Inlet. Nearer the mouth of 
the bay is located the village of Hooniah previously referred to. 
Hawk Inlet, Admiralty Island—Hawk Inlet is a deep fiord 
in the northern extremity of Admiralty Island. It is surrounded 
by rolling hills that slope back to hich, flat-topped mountains. 
Timber-line here averages~2500 feet in altitude, fully 1000 feet 
higher than on Chichagof. The relative warmness of the climate 
here doubtless accounts for the productiveness of the region. 
Animal life is fairly abundant in places. Our work here ex- 
tended from August 1 to 9. 
Rodman Bay, Baranof Island.—Rodman Bay is entered from 
Peril Strait, which is a narrow channel on the north of Baranof 
Island, separating it from Chichagof Island. This bay is sur- 
rounded by mountains with a smooth profile, and thickly tim- 
bered up to 2000 feet altitude, the higher summits having an 
elevation of approximately 3000 feet. Camp was made at the 
head of the bay at the nearly deserted mining camp of the 
Rodman Company. <A narrow-gauge railway runs up the creek 
seven miles to the mine. Stephens ascended the mountain east 
of camp, altitude 2800 feet, but found very little animal life, 
although the higher part was open and almost level for miles, 
with an abundance of grass. August 12 to 20 was spent at this 
place, the party then consisting only of Stephens, Hasselborg 
and a general camp man, Strassel. 
Bear Bay, Baranof Island.—Our camp from August 21 to 
27 was on Bear Bay, which is a small cove in the north shore of 
Baranof Island, on the opposite side of Peril Strait from Deep 
Bay in Chichagof Island. Peril Strait averages about half a mile 
wide in this part. The surrounding mountains are rather low, 
with moderately ascending slopes. There is a little fringe of 
grass around the bay just below highest tide line; but it is not 
often more than a dozen feet wide, and is bordered closely by 
brush and timber. All the streams entering Bear Bay are small. 
Birds and mammals are not plentiful.
