Glacier Bay, Alaska. June 27 to July 20 1907. Frank Stephens. Made first camp on the mainland opposite the eastern end of the southern Beardslee Island and a little north of the mouth of the salmon creek. This creek has filled the strait with boulders and mud until it is too shallow for the launch to pass at low tide and is hardly safe at mid tide. The bank beach is sloping and muddy at low tide, otherwise this is a good camp ground. There is deep water in front of camp, making a fine harbor. The mainland for several miles around and the islands are low land but hummocky. The forest is thick but young, there being few trees two feet in diameter and no fallen trees. There are stumps uncovered along the beach at a lower level than any trees now grow which I cannot account for, unless they are remains of a former forest growing there when the land stood at a higher level and then cut down by glacial ice. Nearly all the trees in the present forest are spruce, but there are a few hemlocks. Alder forms a border around the edge of the forest at the beach and it also grows in places in the forest. There are a few small willows and cottonwoods near the beach. There is very little underbrush and scarcely any 'devils club'. The ground is thickly and evenly covered with moss. There are a few ponds in the timber. Mammals are most plentiful along the border of the timber and in the grass near high tide line. Land birds are not plentiful, several families lacking representatives that that were represented on the islands. Butterflies are scarce but have the addition of a Lycaena. Other insects, with the exception of mosquitos and flies, are rather scarce; mosquitos are plentiful and troublesome. The only batrachians seen were toads, but these were rather common, and I saw many tadpoles in one pond. Shells are very scarce, the bottom being muddy and icebergs and floating ice grind the bottom in exposed places. Another camp was made on one of the northern Beardslee Islands near
