(now Mt. Douglas) night past where
the type of Agelaius, ph. courinus was
taken, once marshy, now dry, tho
there are willows along a water
course.
Then back to the Provincial Museum,
where I saw the types of Ovis famini
(mounted), a saddle-marked intergrade
between the Dull Sheep and the
Rocky Mountain Sheep, and Rangifer
dawsoni, from Queen Charlotte Islands
(Kermod says he believes this caribou
to be now extinct). The mounted male
is small, and whitish in color; this
is not the type, however, which
latter is one antler attached to a
part-cranium.
2 to 6:45 p.m. — Crossed from Victoria
to Vancouver, B.C. Smooth, but dull and
scenery, except close by. Obscured. Many
Murres (immature) along the passage-
way among the islands. Gulls
included Glaucous-winged, Ring-billed,
and a small species seemingly
size of latter, but with more amount
I black at tip and along front
border I spread wing. White-winged
Scoters abundant.
