Shang, "Nine Mile Mt." n.e. Hazelton, B.C. 1921. (5,500 ft.) On the Mt. all the country seems admirably suited to end life. Got a wonderful view from the top. This evening I spent an hour watching the rock slide. There are a good many Bushy Tails and while I watched a big Poreupine came out of a hole and after thoughtfully scratching his stomach with both fore and hind feet started off to forage. He went to the edge of the slab, selected a smooth welt and squirmed around till he was comfortable and then gathered in a bunch of leaves with both front paws, without biting off the leaves. The distance was too great to distinguish what the shrub was. I left him still browsing. Shot another Poreupine in front of the cabin; thought, there seems to be no end to the supply or to the membership of our "cabin-club." Saw another "Porky" over in the other sheds today as well. 245. ♂ lagopus (3) July 24, 1921. eyelids - white. Eyes Brown, Feet Black.
