June 10 - Victoria
There are many mounted small
animals, mostly taken by Brooks
& Swanas, some of Hollister's
taken at Moose Pass, and some by
T.H. Keen of Massett.
These have
been made over from skins in
a usual poor taxidermist style.
Here is one specimen of "Marmota
monax (Swain)", so
labelled, in a case with some
two marmots from the mainland.
Of birds, there is a full synopti
collection, valuable because of local
representation. There are 3
Trumpeter Swans taken in B.C.
in 1889, 1890 & 1912. A large
collection of eggs and nests is
on display, among which are 2
sets, 5 eggs each, 1 Bohemian
Waxwing - eggs decidedly larger
than the same pattern as Cedar Waxwing.
