Gilmore SOREX (cont.) (3) 1931 a shrew on this island. The only place I have yet to trap in, is the rocky cliff backed beach on the S.E. side of the harbor. The following information was offered by Mr. Albert Olsen, and concerns the shrews around the base head of the Alaska Peninsula; False Pass, Morzovik, Cold, & Dzembeck Bays. Several years ago (shrews are subject to periodic fluctuations?) The shrews became to numbers numerous that they invaded every shack and shanty in quest of meat for food. Olsen had hams & baccons flavoured so he on one occasion he placed the meat in a pan & set the pan in a tub of shallow water so that water entirely surrounded the inside meat & gilled pan. The next morning the tub was almost filled with drowned shrews, and several had reached the meat, wi- derly over the bodies of their dead comrades. Shrews do not seem to be known
