In the French- man River valley the prairie dogs burrow holes in the ground which drop at times ten feet into the earth. At the top of the dens there is a small mound sometimes three feet high.” Returning from a ten thousand mile trip through Saskatchewan in search of scientific material, Farley Mowat, Frank Banfield, Harris Hord and: Murray Rob-b arrived here this week with more than 400 specimens of birds and mammals. The party has two new bird records for the province of Saskatchewan, and has brought back several Eve specimens of mammals.

SALADA STAMP CLUB - 461 King St. W., Toronto JOIN THE Questioned on the results of the expedition Farley Mowat stated that the trip had been very satisfactory from every point of View. In fact it is understood that this will be the first of a series of trips to the West being made with ’a view to publish- ing a faunal list of the province of Saskatchewan. The party returned by way of Yellowstone National Park after a three month absence. They reported a plentiful supply of game birds this year in Saskatchewan. “Every slough is filled with water which in turn is filled with ducks,” stated Farley Mowat. “I have never seen so many ducks out west before. The game birds also include many prairie chicken and grouse. It promises to be _a gopd_ year for sportsmen.” The whole four hundred specimens were taken from over two hundred and fifty-three species of [birds sighted. At Emma Lake in Northern Sas- katchewan members of the party met and talked with the widow of Grey Owl, Anna Hario, noted Indian naturalist. Her daughter, Silver Dawn is being privately tutored at Prince Albert. The party camped at Fort Carl- ton where the first scientific work in the province of Saskatchewan was done by the Sir John Franklin Richardson expedition in 1810. This group gathered and described ma~ terial on the faun'al life in Saskat- chewan, and the Richmond Hill ex- pedition worked on their material in gathering their specimens. As far as records show this expedition has been the first one to work exten- sively in this area since 1810. species of mice SING‘LE COPIES 51:. $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE N0. 11.
