Chichagof Island
Hooniah. (Port Frederick)
June 21-27-1907.
We arrived at Hooniah P.O. on
the morning of June 20 and made
camp about 5 miles west of the town
where a large stream emptied into
the ocean. The river valley ran back
10 or 15 miles and was from 1 to 4 miles
broad. Part of this valley near the river
banks were covered with willow and
Salmon berry thickets which gave
way farther back to firm open grass
covered meadows many acres in extent.
The sides of the valleys and the mountains
were covered, as usual with spruce
and hemlock timber with thickets of devil
club and Salmon berry as underbrush.
Around an old Indian house I
cought some 10 Peromyscus which seem
to be different from either the Baranof or
Admiralty Island mice as they were not
so large as those taken on Baranof and
not so small as those secured on Admir-
alty. Shrews were quite numerous
but were smaller and had whiter
