Diary, 1901, of trip with Alfred Emerson Preble to the Athabaska-Mackenzie region

Alberta Athabasca

April 30. 1901 Left Edmonton about 6 P.M. and drove about 5 miles on the road to wood Athabasca Landing and camp- ed just before dark beside the road near a shallow pond. The country is flat and mostly covered with a scattering growth of willows, with here and there a grove of Coplers and in one or two places we saw spruces growing in swamps May 1: Left Camp early and iendly about 20 miles through a pretty flat Country with many marshy places. Sparcely wooded Roads very bad Saw a good many birds, elsewhere noted. Forward night we passed through some country more heavily wooded with Pine, Poplar and some spruce in the swamps and camped near the Sturgeon River. May 2: Crossed the Sturgeon River and came about 20 milesalls to the Vermilion River where we Camped. The Country far

sed through mainly rolling and with very little wood mainly poplar with a little spruce and Camarack in the swamps. May 3. Came about 23 miles through a fairly well woodeditry grown up mainly with Pines with some spruce in the swamps May 4. Came nearly 20 miles through a high rolling country rather sparsely provided, mainly with poplar and crossed several small creeks and camped on a high ridge about 14 miles Smiths & 400 Landing. May 5 Travelled through a high rolling country which has evidently been swept by fire and never grown up again, and reached Athabasca Landing about 5 o'clock. Made arrangements to start as early in the morning as possible Found a good canoe in readiness. May 6 Athabasca Landing to 28 miles below We left Athabasca Landing about One o'clock and went ashore about gx dark at a point on the left bank said to be about 28 miles below the Landing. The first few miles of banks are rather barren the forest having been burnt off and never made a stand again, a few pines remaining but very small poplars constituting the bulk. The growth especially on the right bank. Banks immediately at the river rather low but back from the stream rising to ridges several hundred feet high. Further down the character of the banks remains the same but the forests are heavier mainly of poplar (with species) spruce, and a good deal of birch with an undergrowth of outlaws, alders, cornel etc. Large tracts have been swept by fire and the forest killed.

May 7. 28 m. below A. Landing, to 10. miles above Pelican Rapids Were routed out by the guide about 3. am., and travelled until dark when we had come about 10 miles, mainly through a rather heavily forested region the character of the banks remaining the same as those passed the first day and the same kind of forest covering them. We saw several flocks of "Gray war epis" (anves) and a flock of st cranes besides several other species elsewhere noted. We passed during the after- noon 2 slight rapids a few miles apart. We went ashore on the right bank at a point where there was a steep beach closely spared with small boulders. May 8. The weather remaining stormy we remained in Camp. call day. During the afternoon the ran several times changed to sleet hail or snow and we passed a rather uneven- portable day. May 9. 10 miles above Pelican River ek to Mouth of House River Though the weather showed no signs of clearing the entire party left camp about 9:30 am., putting some of our heavier cargo on the snow which we have accompanied this for we left them in our code for greater comfort about 11 am. we passed the mouth of the Pelican River where 15 or 20 pelicans were started from the shore near the mouth of the river, also a number of Coots. About noon we stopped at a small stream and had dinner and just as we were about

to clear again reconstrated by the large boat. The crew reported seeing a large block bear at the Pelican Rapids, a short distance below the Pelican River. We continued on down the stream and camped just before dark on the right bank a few hundred yards below the mouth of House River May 10. House River to Grand Rapids The large boat passed our Camp about 6.30 and we shortly afterward started down after them, overtaking them about a mile above the Islands at the Grand Rapids and in a few minutes landed at the upper end of the Island. We transported our baggage🊥뺗j10 to the lower end over the tram way which The N.B. Co. have built and use constantly and campers at the lower end, the large boat not expecting to leave until tomorrow The River at this point cuts down through the sandstone (the Grand Rapids Sandstone) leaving high banks (nearly perpendicular) on either side about 200 feet of the sand- stone being exposed, topped by about a hundred feet of Shales and a layer of the "Pelican" sandstone. The Island is about 14-3/4 a mile long and about 150 yards in width and has been well wooded with space for Birch, Poplar etc. The current on each side of the island is very strong and the bed of the river is filled with the nodules of sandstone which have been left when the softer parts of the sand- stone has been worn away. A song sparrow was seen near the buildings at the upper end of the Island as one or two ducks (Mergansers?) in the river. I took a few pictures of the Shores on each side.

May 11. We left the foot of the Grand Rapids about 7:30 P.M. and traveled until nearly dark. The sandstone cliffs border the valley on both sides for most of the way and the country is mainly heavily wooded through mostly swept by fire. About 15 miles below G.R. c a gas will emerges on the left bank at the mouth of a small stream (the Little Buffers Rive) A large quantity of the gas emerging beneath the surface from the bed of the stream. The bubbles showing that it reaches nearly half way across the river through mostly near the shore. About 14 miles below here we passed the Burnt or Bruce rapids following near the left bank in the Canoe where the river is better for small boats. We camped on the left bank a short distance below here. May 12. It being Sunday the whole oparty remained at Camp. Very little of interest was seen but or two hermit thrushes were heard singing near camp and Entamias seen on the shore in a pile of drift wood. A putonies (Cieognam) seen May 13. We pushed off from camp quite early and floated down stream. Soon after starting I saw a bear on a bluff near the river and landing climbed after him but after climbing two steep slopes I had only the satisfaction of seeing him disappearing over the third and out of shot. I had some lunch at the head of the Bolder Rapids and after running it and proceeding a short distance I stopped at an Indian en- Campment. They had several trunks. I, more mostly in poor condition. One had a portion of

the face white. During the afternoon we succeedingly ran the Middle Long, Crooked & Stony rapids and Camped near the head of the Little Cascade Rapid. Banks of River of Sandstone Shale, and Limestone the latter first appearing at the Crooked Rapid May 14. Left the Camp early and ran the Little & Big Cascade which face one horizontal beds of Limestone Waited some time for the Large boats to pass over the Big Cascades and after proceeding a few miles we ran the Mourelly Rapid the last on the river and hastily afterwards arrived at H McMurroay at the junction of the Athabaskan & the Clearwater. After waiting for a short time we went on. I took a few pictures of the high shale cliffs above McMurroay. after leaping the "Forks" the banks on the east side of the River consists of high cliffs of shale surrounding the limestone but after passing a few miles the low valley bec rest less deep though the immediate banks remain much the same. We camped at dark about 15 miles below the "Forks". May 15. We left Camp about 3 am. and caught up with the Scot which had drifted nearly all night at Red River where there is a HBC Post about 8.30. Just before reaching here we saw many nests of Cliff swallows beneath the overhanging cliffs on the east shore but the birds had evidently not arrived. We saw several species of ducks, Grey geese and small geese.

Probably 13. c. hutchmisi hutchmei and several other birds elsewhere noted. Heard several water thrushes along the shore. Shores of shale, limestone and Tar sands Remled at Red River until about 11.am cooking breakfast and then started down the river. The banks are rather low and heavily woods with spruce, birch poplars mostly balsamifer which reaches a large size and an underground & Cornus various willows and alder Ruffed grousers are very abundant along the river passed today several Totung could be heard druming at most any time. The snow will drift all night so we will float along with her. May 16 Poplar point to 20 miles 7 Lake Athabasca. We drifted all night and early in the morning passed Poplar point and shortly afternoon went ashore and had breakfast. We floatedehove down the River all day and all hands went ashore are camped about dark May 17 To Lake Athabasca Floated down the river and reached the marshes at the mouth about 4 P.M. shot a few birds here. were unable to Cross the Horse on account of wind. Waited to bed about 10.30 as the grounds were we would not start until two in its morning in all probability. We round us up at 11. tomorrow and we started and soon reached the Lake. We encountered much floating ice but encouraged by hard work to get through it

and reached Ft Chippewgan May 18 at about 3.30. after some breakfast we went along the shore a short distance and went to bed for a short sleep. Got up about the middle of the forenoon and having gatien a few provisions at the store we went up the shore about a mile (east) or made a Camp in a favoronble place for work and set out some traps. May 19. We made a fairly good ing catch of Evotomys & Peromyscus and set out another line of traps. Also ate some Snares for rabbits which are abundant judging by signs Even a pair of mallards about a lake near, which were evidently nesting. Red squirrels are very common Ft Chippewgan. May 20. Took a good series of Evotomys and a few Peromyscus in wire traps. Shot a Lepus on the rocky hill near Camp and a muskrat in a small piece of marsh. Raining all day In the afternoon we made up our specimens and collected a few plants. There are very few small birds here. Our camp is pitched on the shore of the Lake which at this point and for some agstance either way is high and socky and fairly well wooded, with spruce birch. Aspen poplar willow Dunkasean Pime. a good deal of Juniperus grows on the rocky hills and also in the woods and a great deal of mountain cranberry & a ground ezar ( ) the latter mainly on the ledges.

May 21. Took Surix Eustomy & Peromyscus in our traps and shot a Lepus & several Red squirrels. I attracted the rabbit by squeaking. Also took Junco Parus hudsonicus Canachites, Spizella & Dendroca Coronata. Reset some traps. In the afternoon we made up our specimens which occupied all our time until dark. Noticed a few trees of Papulus balcanamfera in a swamp near which are the only ones seen in the vicinity. Also Tamarack. May 22. Took a a fair lot of mice including Surix Merotius Eustomy & Peromyscus and shot some squirrels. It commenced to rain about 10.30 am and rained hard We out of the day almost turning to snow. Very cold and disagreeable. My brother shot a P. gray choked Thrush in the sprucewoods near Camp. Mr. put in the afternoon on specimens May 23. Took a fair catch of Mammals, and a number of birds including V. Philadelphia About 3.P.M after assisting to make up most of the specimens I made a trip to the course to the mouth of the Athabasca creek to get some water birds and see if it would be a good place to camp I did some work. After shooting a few birds we Inspected. Did not set any traps as the place had been recently flooded that there seemed to be no small mammals. But may be able to get some desirable birds. Left my brother in camp to attend to traps and prepare specimens.​Noted a flock of Buck-bridled Phoens on the marsh unknown scramble & seems any. During the night I heard a great horned owl several times.

May 24 Left up at 4.30 and after breakfast started to hunt over the marsh after birds, and hunted until about 9.30 when we left for camp. Secured several species not elsewhere seen including Yellow-headed Black bird & Lecont's Sparrow. The only song of the latter which I heard was a swift twitter uttered on the wing ation, a pair, were taken first 17 ponds seem united else- where. Saw a great many white wavy (Cohen) But proceeded to secure any heard many buttering & saw too, and many any Joe Trees heard and one shot. Got back to Camp in time for dinner and after dinner we prepared our specimens Heard. Humid Thrushes & Hare. Ducks near camp at sundown also. Night Hawk May 25 Fort Chippewyan to 12 miles N.E. Fooked up our traps and broke camp. Leaving about 9.30 We proceeded along the north shore of the Lake about 12 miles and camped in a thick grove of spruces near Point Larder. The country beyond is said to be entirely bare rock, with no camping places available for a long distance. The shore passed consists of a succession oforced rocky hills 50 to 150 feet high in some cases with precipitous slopes with wooded ravines between. Took some snapshots of the shore. Near where we stopped. There were see fields of considerable extent on which were feeding Forage bards ago many maculata, and Arenaria monella about 15 or 20 of the latter were observed and 3 shot. Their stomachs were filled with remains of Butterflies and other insects, mostly Beetles. Took several of the Forage and made up two. I. camped in a depression between two hills

thickly overgrew with white spruce with some Dutch Aspen & Paleson Poplar, with an undergrowth of Alnus incana cornus (red coar) willow etc. The rocks are covered with lichious some of a brick red color. Vaccinium ground cedar, Jumperies etc with Bunkscian pines mostly of small size. a little beyond this is Big Datands with two or 3 small islands near to the north. Beyond it as far as the eye can reach is an apparently unbroken ex. panes of ice. Back from the shore are many streams murkely with small streams drawing them which reach the Lake by underground channels in most casesh. Sam Many and Sexters always in passo and a few whiteh mugid Sexters and noisy Herring Gulls.. Shot a Rabbit and a spruce grouse while setting traps May 26. Got a few specimens in our Traps and made them up. My brother shot a Common Lanager in a poplar near the Tent Saw a grouse drum several times. He stood erect and had his arms only half open, the motion being from the shoulders. Took some photo- graphs of the Lake, rocks, etc. May 27. Up early. Got a fair catch of mammals in- Sliding Creek, Microscopex. Evert traps Putturus. Shot a rabbit and some spruce and ruffed about a number of small birds. Set some more steel Traps. Saw a Toad half a hour on the shore half a miles East of Camp. Park in the afternoon on pie rivers and finished up my thing. The location seems to be off the path of migration and for small birds we seem A very fine day.

May 28 Got very few mammals in our traps Shot a muskrat in muskey near camp, also Two Canada grouse Bay brested wabblers and some agnards Ruined some toward evening Troos leaving with fast. When we came here (May 25) They had barely started. May 29. Made only a poor catch of mammals. Took 3 rabbits in traps but they were so bruised and bloody as to be unfit for skins so only the Skulls were saved Shot a number of birds including Cantopus dorsalis Emporal minima Serurus auricupillus Bonasa, Dendroma castanea Hermit & Olive Backed Thrushes & Bayorms phebe the latter one of a pair which probably had a nest on a cliff near the Lake shore. Reect a good many traps Observed signs of Beans on the rocky hills west of camp. Corps of Bonasa & Canocites examined. The latter contained young Beans of the Aspen Poplar. That of the spruce grouse was filled with barn of Aretostophy ursus May 30 He had planned to break Camp and to make another Camp somewhere near the outlet of the Lake to the west of Chipervyan But the ch day proved so stormy for thought it unadvisable to move. We took very little in our traps and the heavy rain made hunting impossible, so we were able to accomplish but little beyond digging and preparing our specimens for packing. May 31. Took up ours traps and left camp about 8 a.m. The Lake proved to be rather rough but we reached Chipervyan safely about noon. On our way two "waves" Chen. were seen to alight on a high cliff near the shore. We stopped the canoe and while my brother and one of the canoeemen kept the

June 1. Took up across Traps and in the afternoon having finished up all our shunting we proceeded on one way After going a few miles through one of the numerous Channels which form the outlet of the Lake we came to an expanse of water several miles across and the wind being very strong we thought it madavious to attempt opcross it and camped on an Island about half a mile in length, high and ea dinely wooded. A march on its south side separates it from other smaller islands. The ground is cpyt with a dense growth of moss. We set out a lot of Traps and shot several birds. and observed others not previously seen. The place seems to be a favorite one for collecting. May The gundle and myself climbed the cliff and succeeded in shooting one a fine male. We packed a lot 2 specimens at the Fork including nearly everything we had collectek and having laid in some supplies and Closed up our accounts we left the Fort about 5 P.M. and having rounded the point toward the sea Trance outlet of the Lake we camped a few miles from Chippewyan and set out some Traps. having found a few signs of Microtus, which seems to be rare, in the vicinity. At our camp in the early evening heard: Olive back Thrush, Night Lawks. a Buttern. White Throat ed Sparrow etc. Saw several cliff Swallows at Chippewyan

June 2. Took a good catch 2 mammals. Peromypcus Eostomp & Sorex. The Eost- omp measure larger than those taken near Chippewym We put in the afternoon looking after our traps and shooting birds and secured several, Including Tyrannus tyrannus, Louisiana Tanagers, Canada Nuthatche, a pair of Nudomen Chickadees, White-should出 Will, Tennessee Walslee etc. Found the nest of the Nudomen Chickadees and will try to Preserve it entire in the moon. In the afternoon we stemmed up all our specimens nearly 40 and set out more traps in- cluding some steel traps Took a pair of yellowbelled Wod pickers the first seen since leaving the Henry's timbered valley of the Athabasca. June 3. Took about 25 mammals Eostomp, Peromypcus Sorex & Searious and shot a few birds, Tyrannus, Dindraica vtrmns. Empbus fluvivictrix etc. The egg nest of Parus contained 4 young and two eggs on the point ? Hatching. and as we had shot the birds we preserved the young in formalin. A strong Cold wind from the north blew all day and made col- lecting very difficult. June 4 Took a fair catch of Sorex, Peromypcus & Eostomp, and shot a few birds. Wind very high and cold and collect- my difficult. Spent an hour or two in the marsh and took Ayglains Seirious worboraecesis. Found a nest of avamp sperson contain my 5 egg. It was will a tuuscket of grass over the water. Reset many of our traps my brother shot another Black throa warbler Ish was unable to send it

June 5 Jack up our traps and after preparing the more desirable of our mammoles we broke camp and crossing the small Lake where we were we proceededeam down the Roche River We had dinner on the left bank of the river Beyond the frange of willows and poplars which occupied the immediate bank was a large marsh where I shot a gansoeles & Agilamo and observed several other species. Resuming our paddles and p court down the river until nearly night when we put ashore on the right bank in a grove of heavy spruces From this point a postage is sometimes made to a marsh which connects with its river by a creek several miles below thereby cutting across a bend This pond where we camped is only a short distance above the mouth of the Peace River. The upper part of the river passed through today is narrow and winding and forged mainly with willows and elders with swampy shore Here and there occur outcrops gerics others a few spruce pine pines occur. The river passed through in the afternoon is wider and generally forged with Poplars with and underground melons other shrubs. There and there are stretches of the White Spruce which at the place where we camped were very tall and reached a diameter of two feet in eds instances. I set out a line of traps and shot a ringneck duck (Aythya Cleriis) at a small pond in the forest. My brothers being sick was unable to set traps and return early but I hunted until stopped by darkness

June 6. Got up early and Took up my traps seeming a fair catch I Common specie That a fur 3 birds. Shortly after breakfast we Embarked and after proceeding a short distance passed the mouth of the Peace River which comes in on the left and uniting with the Rada which no small in暮mpan makes a broad rather Rapid River. We proceeded on down The Characters of the banks Himman much the same but slightly lower than where Camped. Stopped shortly after noon and after dinner went to Work skimming specimenings of which I had quite a lot on hand. My brother was unable & associated me and I put in the afternoon and after supper as long as I could see without finish- ng them all. A Pleasant day, June 7. Finished up all my specimens and between 10 and 11 o'clock started on down the river. After goin a few miles we put ashore for dinner at a Trapper's cabin on the left bank. On the spot I found skulls of Lynx, Mustela, Americana, Vulpes, Lutreola, Lutra and a wolf. The latter was muff for a specimen but I collected the others. A short distance below the left bank of the river became higher and as this place seemed a favorable one for collecting I concluded to Camp for a few days more. We accordingly put ashore at the mouth of a creek which formed our by the outlets of a lake about a mile distant. I put out a good line of Traps, While setting these I pushed over a large poplar stub in which I noticed a large Woodpickers hole and found it to contain 3 young Richardson's

Owls nearly ready to leave the nest. I set two steel traps on jpslles at this spot in hopes of catching the old one Shot a warbling vird in the fromp near Camp. While I was examining the young owls a small bat flew up from the debris of the stub and flew away through the woods I was unable to secure it or ee see where it took refuge Jane E. On going to my Traps in the morning I found the 7 Red.owl in one and in the other a fine small Rosabreath in my small traps I took Cored Mierites Eutromp of Peromyceus. The Owl caught had a Miertis in his claw. In the hole occupied by the owls was a mass of hard and bones Mierstes Peromyspers Eutromp an inch and a half thick. The stomachs of the young owls were filled with the remains I Peromyceus Mierstis Hortongy The stomach of the old one was empty. Shot a fine male Rosabreath Rosobretis near Camp where he was spanning. Found a hed Pintail on an island near camp. It was at the edge of a thicket and was camphed wholly of the down from the breast of the parent, arranged between pieces of driftwood. Took one a nest of Spotted Shudp CHAPTER containing 3 eggs. One normal one about half size and one about as big as a snook some egg. Tock Peromyceus Eutromp and heard song? Over land plot was unable to find the food. Saw Several Tracks of moose near camp, none very fresh. However and found a nest of Empredonal containing 4 eggs

June 9. Ttook E. Eostomys Psaropteris and E. Estamias in my traps. the latter were taken in the Proamp near Camp. Shot another in a fallen ground Osplass Wanted brimbird again but Caught only a passing glimpur of the bird which was very shy Dash right a grouse, whoseitsing grounds we had missed Caused back after dark and drummed within a few feet of our beds. We drummed several times and remained some time clucky. loudly as if angry, at our intrusion June 10. Took Some Richardson's Eustrop, Estamias. Microstus and shot seven birds including Zamelodia, Setophaga of which I took nests & eggs. Serurus Aurocapillus Bonasa Empidona (with nest + egg) Helmnthophilis peregrina Accipiter vroix. Sagoornis phoebe Carpodacus Perissorius, Dryptetes phreaceus & Viretrigalos The Flycatcher's nest was in an older about 15 feet up in heavy woods and the eggs were slightly incubated. The nest of the Zamelodia was in a clump of willows in a swamp about 12 feet up and in the same clump about 6 feet below it was the Setophaga's nest with 5 eggs. I also found a nest of James with 4 fresh eggs June 11. Tacked up our traps taking Estamias, Microstus Eostomys and an adult & Pheenesis. Prepared our specimens and after dinnertenk camp and proceeded down the river The left bank of the River for about 4 miles is high bank of clay & gravel and rooted with poplar & spruce. After going about 5 miles we cepped at a Trappers Shanty on the right bank. Where the river Turns abruptly to its left and Found some sheeke on the roof

A far miles below Live we found High banks again. One very High-feamth one on the right Bank being the highest seen for sometime. Below here several outcrops of rock occurred and One or two large rocky islands were passed, dividing the river in two: About a mile below here we put ashore at a rocky point on the left bank and made Camp. Found a marsh with a pond in it a short distance back and set out a large line of Traps. Signs of Mieretus abundant. 2arr many bird, elsewhere recorded. Some Baraccaan pine occurs During the day and on the higher parts of the Banks and Betula glumulosa observed at Camp. First seen on trip. June 12. Forts a large Catch of Castorups, M^ertus Peromypes & one Mictomy's and shot several birds Richardsons Owl Ammolotamus caudocutus. Goble Eros Dad. Riding's etc. Put in the afternoon on specimens and in the evening rocced traps. Found a nest of Wilson's Swupe with 4 eggs. June 13. Took up our traps taking a fair catch of mammals and after dinner having prepared all our specimens at Crace Camp and proceed own down the River. Found some skeletons Marten at a Trappers Shanty about 10 miles below camp. an passed a number of large islands some of them high and rugged and got to Smith Landing before sunset having come about 25 miles. Procured some supplies and set out a line of Traps.

June 14 Took a few Mierotus and Peromypeus . But decided to cross the river to get away from the annoyance incident to near proximity g a Post. So we made a camp on the opposite side from the landing a little higher up the river at a point where there was a clearing and which afforded a variety of grounds for trapping. We set out a lot of traps finding signs of Mierotus plentiful and before night took a number of specimen. June 15 Took over 20 mammals, Mierotus, Eostomys & Peromypeus incidentally two species. Also took a number of decorable birds including a pigeon Hawk As we had a large lot of specimens we were kept busy all the afternoon, preparing them The locality where we are encamping consists - namely 2 small rocky hills scantily wooded with poplar, a little pme etc. Between the ledges which constitute the hills, are swampy areas some wooded and some with only a scattering growth of Tamaracke spruce etc growing in that mass of sphagnumk A large portion of the country has been forested and has come up with young poplars mainly Tremulodes. June 16 Took a Lynoptomy among other specimens in our traps and two Sorek. Shot Eupedonal flavocutrus & mummmus. Reset a good many of my traps in swampy woods near camp in hopes of getting more Lynoptomy & Sorek. Saw a flock of Canada Geese. Which contained one or two very small ones probably hutchlensis Saw several species of ducks elsewhere record is Fouda Juvens rich with young nearly ready to fly.

June 17. Lost only a small catch mammals including [illegible] & Metomp and about two Scuro and took a number of birds. Partially packed all our dry specimens To Crane at Smith Landing until we come out. Have made arrangements to start tomorrow across the Fortage to Fort Smith. June 18. Took some micros and took up an frogs and opy to Smith Landing. Left there about 11.30 for Ft Smith 16 miles over a cart road. I walked in orderts make observations and Take photos during the First 6 or 7 miles a number of campers passed. Then The road passes over a sandy rolling Country, wooded with Pine. The last few miles is over a nearly level Country. Wooded with poplar and Birch. A march with a series of Cakes in it is passed just before reaching Fort Smith, extending two or three miles# parallel to the road on the left. We reached Fort Smith, situated on a high sandy bluff near the river at the lower mouth of the Smith Rapid. Between the high bank and the river the ground is quite sleek and is wooded mainly with spruce and tamarisk. As we had to wind out Canna before seeing it we did not find a camp ing place but slept at the bank of the river near the N. B. Les Warehouse. We set some traps here as Mice seemed to be abundant. Many birds, elsewhere provided were abound on the road one. Pelican are said to be abundant on the river in the rapid.

June 19 Made camp on the south bank of the river not far from the fort in a cleared and burnt space in the spr 茫e forest. We took about 20 Chironomous in arro traps which we made up. In the afternoon We put out our traps. my brother trapping near camp while I Climbed the bank and work across to the marsh a half mile or so I found some large run- ways and holes which I supposed to be Mierotus xanthry nathus and set out some traps. After they had remark article I mark the rounds and took out an adult female Xanthognathus. The contained 11. embryos. The holes and runway were in small papero and mello ws on Fathers. Being ground at the edge of the marsh. They burrow quite afternearly forming trenches which connect the holes in some instances and also make bread and plain runway much larger, natur- ally than the ordinary species of Mierotus I set all the traps that the size of the colony guaranteed and as they e did not seem to be very active left them to be visited in the morning when I hope to take more and to find other favorable places for trapping. Found Quercalis to be common in the marsh. also Aylaw's flat some borks including Mimosa, Nylerched a pallas Curcailis. Heard Wore sails in de woods and saw Lesser Gillerleego X Jolton Sandpaper

June 20. Visited a nest found yesterdy by my brother and found it to be J. the Tennessee Warbler. It contained 5 fresh eggs. The bird was seen on the nest at a distance of a few feet and identified beyond question. I shot her as she left the nest and hit here as we found blood on the leaves but a long and careful search failed to discover the nest was situated on the ground beneath the leaning base of a clump of pillows in spruce woods near the edge of a cleared area. Thoro collected with as much of its surroundings as was practicable and the eggs care- fully blown and packed away. We watched some time in hopes of gitting the male bird but though we caught a glimpse of him once or twice we failed to secure him. Tusk about 20 mammals including Lincus Eustomy, Peromyscus, Securus Merotus, Drummond and Yanthog matus and Zapus which I shot in the grass. We set more traps for yanthoguthes and on visiting them before dark took and two more and two of the ordinary kinds. A number of birds were shot and made up. June 21. Tusk over 20 mammals including M. Pauloguthes and drumond Phenacomys (3) Eosyx (Microsomy). S. richardsoni, Eustomy and a fine male specimen of Putranis proposa. This was taken in a clam trap set in a runway for Mieristus. A few blackbirds were taken. Found nest of Olive back Thrush (3 eggs) and 3 sets of Robin (with egg) second broods. Shot Bartrania in bushy field near Post.

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.

After preparing three and packing up a crop of specimens, Mr. H. fished some puppies and started down the River about 3.30. We soon passed Belle's Rock on the left, a square cliffhunderly of Sandstone: The river occupies a broad valley which is bordered by high banks of Clay from most of the distance pushed today, and the immediate bank is usually a Cut Bank of Clay and shows patches of the Old Sands in several places. The woods are very similar to those on the upper part of the river. Mr. travelled until about 8 o'clock and putt ashels on the right Bank. A drizzly rain has kept up nearly all day and during the latter part of the afternoon we had several moderately heavy showers. 15 miles below Fort Smith June 30.

A pair of great horned owls were seen on the river bank near fanned by 4 white grion young Two ducks were observed. The old birds disappeared before we got within range and we saw no more of them. The stomachs of the young duck, hawks taken contained the remains of birds; the Cincuosa damage, being the only species identifiable. Feathers of this spec were also seen about the nest. We passed a nest of the Redtail Hawk containing young, and many colonies of black swallows a number of nests of the cliff swallow were seen at one of These colonies.

After getting ready to stir Heard a partridge Bonasa drumming the forest heard for a long time. July 4 Left our camp quite early and soon reached the mouth of the Channel and arrived at Fort Resolution about 11 am. Had an interview with the Officer in charge Mr Gardet in regard andom my intention to go to F.X.Rae in my canoe and he thought it feasible and will succeed or to get a reliable guide to go with me. We camped near the Fort so as to be in touch with the place! Set out some traps. It is my intention to leave here as soon as the "Wrigley" arrives learning my brother to work Here until my return July 5. He took a fox catch only including Peromypus, Eustomy & Pheneceamp.

My brother found a nest of the Orange-crowned Warbler (Pheyladophila celata) containing four eggs. We collect- ed them that being nearly ready to hatch. I could only save them by extracting the young ones through a very large hole and then broke one of them. I considered them worth saving however. Pros prospects seem good for early start in the morning July 9 Tuesday. Left Resolution today 7.30 and went out between the mainland and Mission Island. Then crossing a small bay entered one of the narrow Channels at the mouth of Slarn River up which we paddled for 2 or 3 miles

until we reached one of the main channels of Slave River, the largest one. We went up this for about a mile and crossing it we took a channel on the opposite side and paddling down it soon reached the Lake. We went along the shore for several miles and reached Stone Island. The front of a series of stones which serve as stepping stones by canoe to cross the Lake in Canoes. It was now blowing quite hard and the guide"did not consider it prudent gto attempt to cross the Lakerthe next island some 18 or 20 miles so we remained here hoping that when the wind down we could safely cross but at sunset the weather formed so threatening that he decided not to try so we encamped Stone Island is and irregular rock about 150 yards by 把他 smoothly pohlished by glacial action and without trees.

Toward noon we paddled to a small patey island (on the lee side of the one on which we are encamp ie) on which were nesting about 100 pairs of Kerring and [illegible] California Enerd The latter outnumber- ning the former. I collected specimens of both species Most of the nests contained young. from chicks just hatched to the size of a teal. Many of the larger ones left the island and swam out on an arc approved but the greater number scrambled into crevices of beneath tufts of grass and excreted motion kis. The rock was nearly even- ly and about 60 yards across rough and□ can and and with tufts of grass Grown in its crevices. The old birds hovered over me and kept up a deafen-

A young one a fewin a nest with an egg of the smaller species and thus identifiable was Taken and a longer one. Evidently of the same species. I made Sep the birds collected in the afternoon. This evening the wind tooh ransfer abated but heavy jogs prevent our leaving as the island toward which our course lies is invisible again in clear weather from this place. We have hopes I being able to get away leaving the night. Sunday July 14.

Following the east cost of the Northern Arm as I progressed the opposite shore became visible and at the point opposite where we Camped was quite high for several miles. We stopped at night at "Trout Rock" said to be 40 miles South of Fort Rae. The shores and islands of the Northern Arm are of Solid rock in places holding a little soil which supports a scanty growth of spruce, Birch and Labrador plants. and much moss. The Islands are so numerous and the shores so indented with bays that it is difficult to tell where the main shore is. At Trout Rock where we camped there are some swampy patches with grass and bushes. The stopping place being selected on this account as I wished to do some Foraging. This is the first place passed since crossing the Lake which offers any inducement

ment to trap for small mam mals.
