592. Gilmore ALOPEX (3) 1931 Tigara, Point Hope Alaska Aug. 22 Not very Common here - about 30 came into the native store this winter & the Archdeacon probably got a couple dozen - This catch represents the area between Corwin Coal Mine to Cape Thompson. Sept. 1 St. Matthews, Bering Sea. Foxes are probably quite Common on the island for I saw three in my short walk around over Cape Glory of Russia. They seem to prefer the high rocky places to the low flat areas. Dens, inhabited by Foxes, were found in a mass of tumbling Moss grown rocks where several Least Sucklets were seen. Probably the latter just there. It seems to be commonly recognized up here in the north that island Foxes take toll of the available bird stockeries. The absolute profusion of mice on St. Matthews, Should tend to bring the fox population up To its maximum.
