Birds and Mammals of the Stikine River Region of Northern British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds and Mammals of the Stikine River Region of Northern British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska In years past the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology has conducted several expeditions to the coast of southeastern Alaska, covering in all a large part of that district, and one to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, nearby and of somewhat similar character.1 As one result of this field work the Museum has obtained a representative collection of the birds and mammals of this strongly characterized northwestern coast region of North America. Of the closely adjacent interior of British Columbia, however, the Museum contained no specimens whatever.
