Transcript

22 in the afternoon did some more skinning. May 31 [1931] Took a boat trip up to Ahousat. Leaving Tofino we went up the inside of Vargas Island + stopped at the White Rocks off Cat Face Mountain Here hundreds of Brandt + Baird cormorants were sitting on the rocks + the whole place was lined with droppings. Found 4 Black Oyster catchers nests. 2 sets of 3 + 2 of 2 eggs. About 25 gulls nests had been prepared but as yet no eggs had been deposited. We then proceeded to Ahousat where we had lunch at Gibsons. I examined the plates of 4 deer taken in the vicinity. The horns differed widely. One was a typical large two pointer. Another was a medium sized old 2 pointer - about 2 1/2 to 3" basal circum. [circumference] the tips of the antlers were flattened for the terminal inch + showed two humps at the tip of each. For the 3rd [third] see sketch, this head had the horns almost perpendicular + parallel + the rear tine longer higher + more outwardly curved than the front tine. Bear + deer common along the river at the heads of the inlets
