Catalog West end Alaskan Peninsula, Alaska Between March and April, 1885 (Chase Littlejohn) 968. ? Ursus gyas no measurements "Lassoed and pulled down to Redwood City Harbor, San Mateo Co., Cal. About 1858 (Chase Littlejohn) 969 sex? Ursus californicus no measurements These two specimens, 968 & 969, are represented by claws only. In neither case is it positively known that Chase Littlejohn was the actual collector, but he obtained them at least shortly after the specimens were killed and kept them in his collection until 1942. No. 969 is figured (fig. 15) in Grinnell, Dixon, & Lindsay, fur bearing mammals ---, and additional data concerning this specimen are given by them on pp. 73-74. Three dates of capture accompany this specimen: "abt 1858", "in 1858", and "about 1860". I don't know which is correct. (See back of page for labels accompanying specimens &A received from Chase Littlejohn)
