Rangifer arcticus
6 June Saddleworth River - scattered herds
of mostly cows and calves, numbering
8-10 hundred all told were seen
along the river from a point about
10 miles N of Schooley to the point
where the river breaks out onto the
costal plain. New seemed to be
moving north along the river valley.
24 June Uniat - Plovera return by air -
one seen in valley of Millik R.
8 June Uniat - have been asking the oil
exploration teams flying about to
keep a lookout for Division.
Eastward there have been a few
scattered small bands numbering
a few hundred around Franklin
Bluffs. A few days ago the cars
saw a group of about 500 west of Moluck
Lake. This group definitely appeared
to be moving westward.
Yesterday they reported seeing
"thousands" in the La Frenne Hills
10 to 30 miles inland from Cape
Lesterne. The animals in that area
were mostly cows and calves and they
did not appear to be moving. Many
were seen lying down on snow
banks.
