June 11 Cascade Creek, Norton Sd. Alaska.
One young female taken on flat above
Canyon the only a few rods away from
Trees. Mrs. Evans, Scot. Nurse at St.
Michaels, say they are Common in
eastern Norton Sd.
Sept. 15- Unalaska, Unalaska Sd., Aleutian Is,
Alaska. Albert Olsen, of False Pass, offers
the following information: Porcupines
are common in the Alaska Peninsula
in spite of lack of real timber.
In winter when food is scarce, foxes
and wolverines often attack the porcupines
and sometimes die from the effect
of the quills.
I think he said they were not
found on Unimak Is.
