590 Gilmore ALOPEX D 1931 June 21-July 12 Sevonga, St. Lawrence S. Bering Sea, Alaska. White foxes are common on the island and have been the source of large incomes for the natives. Sixteen hours ashied, on the river flowing into Sitkotok Lagoon, during which we covered 50 miles, gave us glimpses of a dozen or so foxes. They hole up in dens along the creek bed & one den investigated by Mason & Geist held 2 young. At least 4 adults were seen. The pelage is scrappy row, great patches of hair having been shed to make way for the bluer summer coat. The young were a dirty gray color. Two young were captured alive by cornering them on a sand beach at the river's edge & running them until they were subdued. They were very vicious at first but enough soothing & stroking pacified them a good deal. At one time during the phase they took refuge in the decayed carcass of a reindeer. The mother was seen nearby but fled.
