WABEEN ISLAND. 

 A small island lying directlj^ between Kosciusko and 

 Coronation islands, but much nearer the former. The affinities 

 of the mammalian fauna proved to be distinctly with Coronation 

 Island, but this was not true of the avifauna. The sooty 

 grouse, so conspicuous on the latter island, is not found here, 

 while we have strong reasons to believe that the Franklin grouse, 

 of Prince of Wales and adjoining islands, does occur. Our 

 camp was on the east side of the island, where a slight bend 

 in the shore line afforded a fair degree of shelter. The forest 

 was of the usual type throughout the region. A rather con- 

 spicuous feature of the place was the abundance of large-sized 

 abalone shells scattered along the shore, and even far back in 

 the woods, carried possibly by the ravens. We saw these shells 

 nowhere else during the summer. We remained at Warren 

 Island from May 19 to 23. 



HECETA ISLAND. 

 Lying at the western edge of Prince of Wales Island, 

 where it forms the southern boundary of Sea Otter Sound. On 

 May 23 we coasted along the northern shore of the island, 

 exploring Port Alice and two other unnamed bays, but finding 

 no promising collecting ground. Traps set at the eastern end 

 of the island brought few results. 



SAN ALBERTO BAY, PRINCE OE "WALES ISLAND. 

 An indentation on the west coast, and about at the center 

 of the island. We anchored on the north shore of the bay, near 

 where two good-sized streams emptied into it. Aside from a 

 few small tracts of grassy land near the beach there was no 

 open country, nothing but thick forest, and birds were very 

 scarce. Hasselborg found sign of two bear, both of which he 

 secured. We were here from May 24 to 26. 



KLAWAK SALT LAKE. 

 A long, inland extension of San Alberto Bay, but so blocked 

 by islands at its entrance as to be more like a lake than an arm of 

 the sea. The tide, which rises to such unusual heights elsewhere
