we anchored for the night. The following day we skirted the 
shore to a point opposite Green Island, but conditions prevented 
further progress, so we spent the night at Stockdale Harbor. 
The next morning a favorable breeze took us over to Green 
Island, where we made camp in a small cove near the northeast 
point of the island. The island had recently been used as a 
fox farm and most of its vertebrate life had been greatly re- 
duced by the depredations made by the foxes. 
After spending two days on Green Island we proceeded to 
Latouche, where, on July 15, we established a camp on the 
beach. 
On July 22 we left Latouche, Montague Island again being 
our destination. Zaikof Bay had not yielded any bears, so 
another attempt was made at Hanning Bay, near the southern 
end of the island. We dropped anchor at the head of the bay, 
near the delta of the creek which enters it near its southern 
extremity. At the mouth of this stream we pitched our camp 
on a wide gravel spit which was overgrown by a heavy growth 
of salmonberry bushes, large umbellifers and rye-grass. After 
securing two brown bears at this point, we felt justified in leav- 
ing the island, and on August 1 we were again under way. 
We arrived at Hoodoo Island on August 2, touching at the 
bay west of the north point of Elrineton Island. A camp was 
hastily made on a knoll at the north end of the bay. From 
this station short trips were made to Elrington Island and the 
southern shore of the bay. 
On August 4 the party, with the exception of the writer, 
returned to Latouche Island. The writer remained a few days 
on one of the small islands at the north of the bay. From this 
place collecting operations were conducted on Elrington and 
the adjacent shores of Hoodoo Island. On the 9th the party, 
less one of its members, Miss Kelloge, who had taken passage 
on a south-bound steamer, set sail for Port Nell Juan. After 
beating out of the channel we were favored by a squally breeze, 
which assisted us to skirt the south coast of Knight Island as 
far as Drier Bay. Here we anchored at dark in a little cove. 
On awakening in the morning we were greatly surprised to see 
sharp reefs sticking up close to us on all sides, which we had 
escaped on entering the cove in the dark.
