BIRDS AND MAMMALS OF THE PITMEGEA RIVER REGION, CAPE SABINE, NORTHWESTERN ALASKA.
The results of four summers study from 1957 to 1960 on the interrelationships and distribution of the vertebrate fauna along the Pitmegea River at Cape Sabine in northwestern Alaska are presented. The geologic background, climate, soils, vegetational types and land utilization are discussed. Five ma...
