Under the Auspices of 
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 
AND CLEVELAND MUSEUM 
(17) 
Flowers were collected at Disto, Cape York, Parker Snow Bay, Sal- 
mon Lake, Etah and Northumberland Island. 
I have prepared detailed field notes on our work while ashore at 
CGodha-vn, Cape York, Parker Snow Bay, Salmon Lake and Etah. Throughout 
the summer I kept detailed sight records of the birds, but as yet have 
not tabulated the results of these observations, except for the places 
where I was ashore and for which I have prepared field notes. Any fur- 
ther infomation from these, or the results of any subsequent research 
with the specimens will be added to these notes. 
Of course we did collecting while on the move and at places other 
than those mentioned above. Before commencing my detailed field notes, 
I shall give a brief summary of this collecting.' 
We obtained a bottle of microscopic life from some seaweed picked 
up on Hellefiske Bank. In Melville Bay I collected oneKittywake skin 
and 2 stomachs. Three bottles of Marine life were collected from a 
bottom dredge just off Conical Rock. The stomachs of 22 Brunnich’s Murres 
were collected from the Parker Snow Point Rookerie. The stomach and skull 
of the Floe Rat ( Phooa hispi da) were taken from a specimen in Whale Sound. 
Nine bottles of microscopic life and one bottle of Insects were collected 
on the Harvard Islands by Hugh Byfield. Just off the cliffs of Karnah, 
we obtained two bottles of Marine life from the bottom dredge, and one 
bottle from a surface haul with the Plankton net. While in Inglefield Gulf 
we obtained 5 Narwhal skulls and 1 stomach. A Plankton haul was made off 
Cape Alexander. It was near here where we obtained the 4 Walrus skulls 
and the 2 pups. On the Walrus Grounds of Murchison Sound we made four hauls 
with the large otter trawl in depths from 45 to 60 fathoms of water. From 
these hauls we obtained 33 bottles of Marine life. Just off Northinnber- 
land Island, I collected 7 Mandt’s Guillemots and preserved their stomachs. 
Here Rupert Bartlett was ashore for a short while to collect a few flowers.
