Gilmore Marmota 1931 June 17, Nome Alaska Said to occur very rarely in mountains back of Nome. Iugara, Point Hope, Alaska, Arctic Ocean, Aug 2. Marmots are found thru out the hills from Cape Thompson up past Cape Lisbourne, + along & back of the coast up into the De Long & Endicott Mts. The preponderance of skins, which are greatly valued for parkas, come from the Pt. Headwaters & middle course of the Pitmegea River some 50 miles N.E. of Lisbourne. I saw one p. "Sugirikpook" parka + the fur were of a general golden brown grizzled color. I made an attempt to secure some by hiking to the hills back of Cape Thompson from the local Reindeer Camp, but I did not have enough time for much of a re- connaissance & saw no signs. Quite a few skins also come from the headwaters of the Kobuk & Noatak Rivers.
