Thus we visited sixteen islands and six mainland localities ; 

 on some of the islands we established several eamps. 



The accompanying map (plate 1) of the region, copied from 

 a chart issued by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, 

 shows the route of the expedition and points where collecting 

 was carried on. Names of localities used in the report are all 

 to be found on this map. 



The ornithological material collected consists of 604 bird 

 skins; the mammals of 472 skins with skulls, 24 skulls without 

 skins, 47 small mammals in alcohol, and 13 shed deer antlers. 



These specimens have all been donated by Miss Alexander to 

 the University of California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, 

 and they, together with the field notes made during the season 

 both by Hasselborg and myself, form the basis of the present 

 report. Twenty-seven species of mammals are listed, twenty-six 

 represented by specimens collected. One hundred and thirty- 

 seven species of birds are included in the report, specimens 

 being taken of one hundred and six. 



In color descriptions Ridgway's "Nomenclature of Colors," 

 1886 edition, has been followed as closely as was practicable. 

 Measurements are in millimeters unless otherwise specified. The 

 species of plants mentioned in the report were identified by
