Dicrostonyx (2)
one specimen in the flesh +
one dried skin at Severnaga. An
Eskimo boy caught the former
in a suite of tundra a quarter
of mile back from the beach.
The history of the other is unknown.
Anyhow - they are scarce + may
be encountered almost anywhere.
Iugara, Point Hope, Alaska, Arctic Ocean
I did not take any specimens here -
they seem to be very scarce. The occasion-
ally I ran across a native who knew
the "white mouse" Aug. 24.
Sept. 15 Unalaska Unalaska Is., Alaska,
Alutuian Is. This there is a Dicro-
stonyx from this island, I cannot
locate a trace of it. No one here
knows what it is and so far the
traps have yielded none.
Sept. 18 Ahoy! Caught one - No. 2137 -
Female - four pairs teeth (1 incisal, 1 abdominal
D, tincis + 1 axillary) - it was taken
in a rock slide up under the high
knife ridge at the head of Cascade
Falls. Piles of excrement were common
