June 22. Took 26 mammals includ- mg 4. M. xanthognathus jupus Entbarras etc. did not shoot any birds worth mentioning as we are so near out of stuffing that we have difficulty in prop- ery preparing them. Found nest of yellow warbler with young nearly ready to fly. Found a nest of Empirionyx, probably [illegible] huffed almost entirely white feathers of Ptarmigan. I left it to complete the set but on visiting it later found the eggs gone, June 23. Took about 16 specimens in our traps mainly Microtus and made them up together with some taken out of Trher last night. Came across a family of Chickadees and collected three. Also took a Lap sparrow the first seen in the trip. My brother recognized the song as the same heard while com ing across the portage June 18. June 24 Took only a few mammals and no M. xanthographus so must have trapped the colony dry. Made further efforts to find another place to trap them Tramping all the Garrsman and part of the afternoon but without success, so reset Traps for other things. Shot an Upland Plover in the Barrens back of Fort Smith also a reaper sparrow and a pair of M. 13 swallowe and a sharp Tail gnome. Heard one or two other reaper sparrows but was unable to collect them. The black gullet of the Upland Plover contained grasshoppers June 25 Took only a fair catch of mammals but with most of our traps. Found a few Dumways M. xanthographus and set a few Traps catching one before leaving there. Saw a ? Shaftail grouse with young a few days old. Found nesting Olive back. Chipping sparrow
