 The herd will be kept at first at the experimental station of the Bi- logical Survey, where they will be watched and protected from disease and hunters. Government officials hope that as the herd increases it will be possible 10 introduce the Alaskan native. It may be. how ever. that the musk-oX will not take kindly to captivity, in which case they will be put out on ranges and appropriate measures will be taken for their protection.
 The principal purpose in intro ducing, or rather, reintroducing the musk-ox into Alaska, is to provide source of meat. Years ago, before the white man went there, this animal was d much prized game, but was cXtcrminatcd by hunters.
