 Captured in Greenland, 34 oxen were shipped via Norway to New York. transported to Seattle by rail, and released eventually on a 4,00o-acre pasturage near Fair banks, Alaska.
 Six years later, when the herd had dwindled to 3l, it was re- moved to Nunivak, 25 miles off the mouth of the Yukon, out of the reach of bears and wolves There, on million acre sub-arctic ranch, 40 miles wide and 10 miles long, conditions appeared ideal for rapid population growth.
 During the war years, the gov- ernment had no time for Nunivak census taking.
 In 1945, an aerial survey indi- cated that. unless too many ani- mals were counted twice, the herd might have increased to ll5. Last year clouds, fog and rough water interferred with boat and plane travel and only 30 oxen could be found.
 To date, the project has cost an estimated S125,000.
 James told a reporter that Doug las Gray of Juneau, Frank Beals of Kodiak, flying biologist Charles Gillham, and Alaska sourdough Frank Chaser, flew to Nunivak in an amphibian plane in July, to start the first thorough survey since before the war. The other men were to stay a month, but Chaser will stay on indefinitely possibly until next spring. His oompanions-an Indian Service agent, a few natives and the musk oxen.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service drafted it's form letter about musk oxen last year after explorer Vilh- jalmur Stefannson stirred interest in the project with a magazine article recommending the animals to New England farmers as fine source (no barns necessary of rich milk, good wool and tasty steaks.

 Just back from trip to Alaska. Albrecht told of his own most recent encounter with one of the mammoth bruins. The hunter said the Kodiak charged and he had time to fire only two shots. Fortunately, the bear dropped after the second shot but he was only 12 feet away.
 Said Albrecht: Tt seemed like he was about to climb into the muzzle of my rifle
 Albrecht, who is a zoologist and staff member of the Chicago Mu- scum. said the bear weighed 1900 pounds. It had paw nine inches across and IA inches from toe to heel E.
