 "One or the most interesting speci- mems have found. said MT. Brown, eis a ptarmigan which Is much larg- CT than those seen around Juneau. This bird is of a very much darker hue. than Che mainland bird, in Che summer but at this season is chang ing his sarb for the snow-white win- ter plumage he affects. Tho plarmi- gan. by the way is perhaps one of the best examples of protective col bring among birds. and as the season changes he clothes himself in colors that closely match those Of the land scape in which he makes bis home.
 Although lhis is Mir. Browns first visit to Alaska. he spent two months last summer on The Queen Charlotte Islands. where he made extensive re- searches.
