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.
