Gilmore URSUS (cont.) (2) 1931 Olsen I have gleaned the following information about the great brown Bear of Unimak and the lower Alaskan Peninsula. They are very numerous on Unimak Is. Duvenson, while weather bound in a northern bay, saw five in a short walk back from the beach. The few old trappers left on the island, those who were on it when it was made a game reserve and allowed to stay, report that the bears tear down their shacks whenever they are left for a short time, as a month or two. The largest skull Swanson reports measured 418" across the "brow" Perhaps this means across the frontal bones just posterior to the orbits. Even so, it sounds like a "tall one" to me. Albert Olsen, who has shot more many bear, states that the largest skull he has ever seen measured 23" from the foramen magnum to the upper incisors; straight line measurements. A very large skin he once helped to kill, measured 10'4"
