Pitt Point, Alaska
According to the men at Pitt Point, there have
recently been a large group of caribou in
the area.
On a walk west of camp, in the afternoon,
I saw a group of over 200, about one
mile west of the camp. While feeding,
the group was well spread out, but when
I approached they brunched and ran. Later
after they had relaxed, they started feeding,
and soon were very much spread out again.
Later, this first group seemed to be joined
by another large group of about 100 individuals.
They have remained in the one area for
about four hours and can be seen from
the camp. On feeding, they move about
very slowly.

An L.K.T. trip was taken to an area five
miles south west of Pitt point were we obtained
water samples from two large winter water
supply lakes. While there, I [illegible] noticed a
large herd (100-200) of caribou grazing
about 2 miles west of us. On our return
trip we drove past a herd of about
one hundred while many single or
small groups were also seen.
