Paril Strait. Alaska
Aug. 21 to 27 1907.
MAMMALS.
Odocoileus columbianus sitkensis. Sitka Deer. Deer tracks were common.
Peromyscus sitkensis. Sitka White-footed Mouse. Not very common. Caught only
in the timber.
Microtus sitkensis. Sitka Meadow Mouse. Saw runways in one place only. 15
traps in three nights caught four mice. Saw no burrows.
Ursus. Saw no bear tracks. Hasselborg found very little sign at any of the
salmon streams within ten miles, but found some signs further back in the
mountains. He has formed the opinion that the bears here eat less salmon
and more vegetable food than on Admiralty Island.
Sorex sp.? Caught several shrews, but half of them were destroyed by being
eaten by other animals. One was being eaten by a large slug as I made my
round.
Putorius sp.? Hasselborg saw a Weasel at his tent. He says it was larger
than those I caught at Hawk Inlet.
