Sunday August 31. Lti Pott Connolly.
Remained at camp at Bear Lake.
The Indians tell me that the part for
men on an Island near the head of
the lake. The present form consists
of about a dozen horses and
a good sized chuck which is
still unfinished but workable.
We have arranged with a sub
Black Cut Tom to guide us to a
sheep place near the Snotrit.
The day was fine and warm and
the small migrants were coming
for a few of traps and found
a lot of specimens.
Coming fear
Count white tailed ptarmigan
to be quite common above the
Timber. Both a 2 and young
one which was flying. Saw
also 2 males on one of the
peaks and the others pass
some more.
Late in the afternoon after
the 2 Indians had left to
come back to camp, and
Corn and I had continued
on to a peak to the east.
Camp. One of them came
many afternoons saying that
he had seen a large griffy,
a gullish near our camp
as, he was preparing to descend.
We ran back at once but could find
nothing much to record.
Collected timber plants of various kinds.
August 7. Rain had all
day. Spent day on specimens.
Nothing much to record.
