745 Euarctos americanus (1) Silvine 1933 Mad R. ford, 2700 ft., above Santa, Trinity Co., Calif. May 28, 1933 Observed one for a few moments this morning. It was mett almost face to face in narrow, gravelly, scattered oak covered ravine. Was evidently feeding on grass for it was nosing down the damp of grassy spots and along the small trickle of water. Pilage was dirty black and ragged. Appeared to be 2 1/2 feet high at shoulder and weigh in neighborhood of 100 lbs. Then 15 yds. distant and coming my way, I shrank and it made off up the steep head of the ravine into timber at a lumbering this surprisingly rapid gait. I could not find much evidence of its lawn eaten grub but it probably was for there were no signs of diggings or overturned rocks., Elevation 3000 ft.
