CARIBOU
Rangifer arcticus
July 16 Point Barrow, Alaska
One big buck was seen running across
88 with its mouth open. A short while
later Two men in a vessel shot another
off to the south which we saw later. It
was a 7 in velvet with no palmation
on the antlers; a very small animal. It
is a pity that such killing goes on when
the numbers of these animals are so reduced.
Aug 7 East Omand, 110 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska
During the week at this locality we did not see
any of these animals and only old scat & traps.
At the lake there were four skins near the wind
sock which I took to have been discarded by
Arcon men who found out that they were illegal.
