 All miners report that ptarmigan are very rare birds indeed this sum- mer and hardly a flock is to De seen anywhere. Reports from all over Seward Peninsula show this condition and the local naturalists are hard put to it to discover an ex- planation. The natives say that similar scarcities of ptarmigan nave already occurred, but the piros afterwards came back. Other oo- servers say that two years ago the ptarmigan flocked together like mi gratory birds and later in the winter were not to be seen. Any way TOT two years now ptarmigan have been hard to find and the shootists have had to walk many weary miles among the willows without even finding one lone bird to, test thelr skill upon. The disappearance IS certainly an interesting fact would he well worth explaining properly.
