P. Cade 1959 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.
