practically the same as a 30-30. The bears were mating and this fact probably accounts for their unusually temper. The bears measured 1780 and 1680 m.m. The hind foot of the ♂ measured 407 m.m. while that of the ♀, which was smaller, measured 325. Bear had been quite common on the bare mountain tops during the early spring but had scattered far and wide by the time we were there. We saw many places on the mountain top where bear had been clawing up the ground for meadow mice but more of the "dig gins" were fresh and so must have been made last fall. Birds were quite common but not very many species were observed. The following are those birds that I saw: 29. Pidgeon Guillemot Guillemots were common but no nests were located. 44- Glaucous-winged Gull. One or two were seen on a sand flat.
