F. H. Gray's Collection Of Mounted Birds Shipped
 To Territorial Museum

During the past 20years ?. H. Gray of Wrangell has spent con- siderable time in making a eol- lection of Alaskan birds. AI- though he has never followed taxidermy as a vocation, Mr. Gray is a taxidermist whose skill is duly appreciated by anyone who has ever seen his work.
 For some time there has been 2 feeling on the part of certain people in Alaska that Mr. Gray's wonderful collection of two hun dred and eighteen mounted birds should be in the Territorial Mu- scum.
 At the recent session of the Alaska Legislature $500 was ap- propriated for the purchase of Mr. Gray's collection of birds, all of which are from Southeastern Alaska. The birds were shipped to Juneau a short time ago. The receipt of the shipment was ae- knowledged by the curator in the following letter:

Airplane Views of Southeastern Alaska
 Are Now Available
Wrangell Commercial Club Takes Up Matter With Government and Plan Is Worked Out Whereby Prints Are Made Available

" OA h14 O1l " Al V D
 Prints Are Made Available
 When the Alaskan Aerial Ex- petition filmed WrangelL and vi- cinity last August the Wrangell Commercial Club addressed a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, inquiring as to the eondi- tions under which airplane views of Wrangell and vicinity could be obtained. The letter was re- ferred to the Director of the Ge. ological Survey who stated that there were about 18,000 views of Southeastern Alaska which must be technically prepared, and that it would be several years before all the photographs then in hand could be worked up and the re- sulting maps printed. The Di- rector further stated that ways and means were being considered for making available copies of photographs to any one request ing prints and paying for them in advance of the completion of the various maps. He also stated that he would notify the Wran- gell Commercial Club when a definite plan to effect this had been outlined.
 This week the Commercial Club received the following memo randum from the Department of the Interior:
 !" In order that the photo topographic views made in Southeastern Alaska last summer by the Navy Department at the request of the Geological Survey may be available to the general public at as early a date as pos sibIe, arrangements have been recently entered into between the Geological Survey of the h. terior Department and the For est Service of the Department of Agriculture whereby prints of the pictures may be obtained at a small price. It should be dis tinctly understood, however, that several prints of adjacent areas can not be joined so as to form an undistorted mosaic.
 Nearly 5000 Sets of Exposures
 Nearly 5, 900 sets of exposures were made during the summer, each consisting of three parts central picture which repre- sents the ground directly under the airplane and two side pictures which represent adjoining areas on each side of the central pie ture. The central picture is talk en with a camera pointed Yerti- cally downward, and the two side pictures are made at the same moment by two supplement tary cameras directed obliquely to each side and fixed at a defi- nite angle to the vertical. A set of three pictures thus taken rep resents an area of about II square miles when the plane flies at the preferred elevation of 10, 900 feet and the whole series covers prac- tically all of Southeastern Alas ka except Baranof and Chichagof islands. The series, however, is made up of pictures which are in part duplicates, for in order to use the pictures in constructing maps it is necessary to have each set of exposures overlap the area covered by the next preceding and following exposures by about 50 per cent, and the sets of each successive flight overlap those of preceding and following flights by a somewhat smaller amount.

prints Of oblique pictures of each set are of about the same size, but for use in making maps they are corrected or 'transformed" ]" SO as to give them a uniform scale. that of the middle picture, and in this transformation their original rectangular form is changed so that they become wedge-shaped and have dimen- sions of 455 on one side, 84inehes on the other. and a length of 81f inches. As stated above. hoWev- CT, successive sets of pictures can not be pasted together to give a continuous group that will join correctly.

Work Being Rushed

" o1 h 0C4AA5 AAA9lgu
 As rapidly as possible ofacial sets of all the prints will be made and one set will be placed on file for inspection in the district of flee of the Forest Service at Ju- neau, and another in the Alaskan branch of the Geological Survey at Washington, DC.
 More than half the prints have now been completed, and it is hoped to have the entire set ready by October l. Orders for prints may be made by number from these file sets. Those to whom these file sets are not read fly accessible may request from the Forest Service, Washington, D. C., a copy of an index map which shows the location of the area covered by each photograph or may forward orders specify ing the location of the precise tract of which photographs are desired, the name of the island on which the tract is located, and the size of the tract.
 Some delay will occur in fill ing personal orders for prints, as precedence will be given to the preparation of prints required for official DurDoSes.
