Provincial Museum of Natural History,\nVictoria, B.C., January 15th,  1914.\nThe Honourable H. E.   Young, M.D.,\nProvincial Secretary,   Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour, as Director of the Provincial Museum, to lay before you the\nreport for the year 1913, covering the activities of the Museum.\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour obedient servant,\nFRANCIS KERMODE,\nDirector. PROVINCIAL   MUSEUM   REPORT\nFOR THE   YEAR   1913.\nProvincial Museum,\nVictoria, B.C., December Slst, 1913.\nThe Honourable H. E. Young, AID.,\nProvincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014The work of the Provincial Museum of Natural History during the past year has\nbeen more extensive in its scope, and, I believe, more productive in results which are calculated\nto advance and serve the purposes of popular instruction, than in any preceding year. It is\ngratifying to note that the earnest and persistent efforts made during the past years have won\nthe generous and appreciative recognition not only of scientific men, but of the general public,\nand that our institution as a Museum of Provincial Natural History and Anthropology is\nrecognized as one of the foremost of its kind.\nThere is no way of accurately recording the attendance, but a glance at the visitors'\nregistei shows the names of people from all parts of the world. Only a very small proportion\nof persons visiting the Museum utilize the register, 33,896 only having recorded during 1913.\nSeveral classes from the public schools under the direction of their teachers have visited the\nMuseum, and I think that, if other teachers would take an opportunity of bringing their\nclasses to visit the Museum, it would be of great benefit to the students in their nature-studies.\nIt has been the endeavour of the Director to make every dollar of expenditure tell in the\ndirection of increasing the extent and value of the possessions of the Museum.\nConsiderable scientific research has been carried on in the field during the year, and the\nDirector proposes to continue this work and have parties in the field each year until every\nportion of the Province has been covered ; the country offering almost unlimited opportunities\nfor the enthusiastic collector.\nOn April 7th, E. M. Anderson, of the Museum staff, accompanied by an assistant, C. B.\nGarrett, were sent afield to make a general collection of zoological specimens in the Okanagan\nValley from the south end of Okanagan Lake to the United States boundary. Many valuable\nspecimens were added to the Museum, several species being new to the collection. During the\nthree months' trip there were collected : 306 birds, 580 oological specimens (comprising 114\n-sets of eggs with nests), 278 mammals, 36 batrachins and reptiles, 11 fishes, and over 4,000\nentomological specimens.\nSpecial attention was given during the year to our collection of fishes. An interesting\nand beautiful series of casts has now been arranged in eight cases on the upper floor in the\nnorth section of the Museum. These casts, carefully coloured, represent the salmon family in\nboth salt-water and spawning forms, and other fishes indigenous to the waters of the Province.\nIn addition to the above, many new specimens have been preserved in alcohol, and the whole\ncollection of fishes rearranged.\nDuring the months of May and June the Director, accompanied by an official of the Provincial Secretary's Department, made several week-end trips to Bare and Saturna Islands, and\nsecured some very interesting material.\nThe Director has this year taken up with more activity the question of the preservation\nof wild life, and having the permission of the Honourable H. E. Young, M.D., Provincial\nSecretary and Minister of the Department, invited the Royal Commission on Indian Affairs\nfor the Province of British Columbia to visit Bare Island, an Indian reserve, which has been\nproposed as a bird sanctuary. The invitation was accepted, the launch \" Gunhild \" chartered,\nand the trip taken on July 4th. The Commission was greatly impressed with what they saw\nof the bird-life on this island, and negotiations are now in progress with the Department of\nIndian Affairs at Ottawa to have Bare Island made a permanent bird sanctuary for the\npreservation of wild life. G 6 Provincial Museum Report. 1914\nDr. C. F. Newcombe has continued his work of collecting anthropological material and\ndata relating to the Coast tribes, and has secured a large number of rare and valuable\nspecimens, one of which is a large board sail, which I believe is the first that has been secured\nby any museum.    Dr. Newcombe's report is annexed hereto.\nMr. J. A. Teit, of Spences Bridge, has also continued the work of collecting anthropological\nmaterial from the Interior tribes, and has been very successful in securing a great deal of\nwearing-apparel, baskets, etc.\nDr. Newcombe having been employed by the Fisheries Department to carry on investigations regarding the life-history of sea-lions, the Director left Victoria on June 17th for Namu,\nto accompany him to the rookeries in the Sea Otter Group, south-west of Cape Calvert. On\narriving at Namu on the 20th, the launch \" Chaos \" was chartered and left the same evening\nfor Cape Calvert. On the way down Fitzhugh Sound, about 9.30 p.m., when nearing Safety\nCove, the \" Karluk \" on her way north, with the Steffanson Arctic Expedition on board, was\npassed. Early next morning a start was made round Sorrow Island and Cape Calvert, out to\nsea in a south-westerly direction to Devil and Pearl Rocks, which are about seven miles offshore. On approaching Devil Rock only a few sea-lions were found, probably about 200. but\nat the next point visited, Pearl Rocks, which is the main rookery, the number estimated was\n1,500 males and females and about 500 pups. In an endeavour to secure specimens several\nshots were fired, but when hit the animals would roll off the rocks into the sea and sink almost\nimmediately. One large male, however, was secured before it sank, and was towed back to\nGrief Bay, a distance of seven miles, where it was hauled up as the tide came in, to be skinned\nand prepared for transportation. This mammal measured 11 feet 6 inches in length and 8\nfeet 6 inches around the neck, and weighed about 2,500 lb. Several good photographs were\nsecured, showing the rocks inhabited by these large sea-mammals. Early the next morning\nPearl Rocks were revisited, and subsequently Watch Rock, where approximately 500 males\nand females, including pups, were observed. Bird Rock, which is nearer the shore-line of\nCalvert Island, was also visited. This is a small island, chiefly lock, where a number of\nglacous-wing gulls and cormorants nest, and should be set aside as a bird sanctuary ; the birds\non this island are not found in any such numbers as on Bare Island, near Victoria.\nOn August 30th the Director and his assistant left Victoria for Atlin on a general\nzoological collecting trip. Although in the Atlin country only during the month of September,\na considerable number of specimens were collected, several of which were not previously known\nto be in the Province. When it becomes possible to again visit this district and do a full\nseason's field-work, there can be no doubt that a number of eastern and northern species will\nbe found within the limits of British Columbia.\nIn a Province possessing such an enormous coast-line, the study of marine biology is of\nvery great importance, but so far our efforts in this direction have been handicapped by the\nlack of suitable means for carrying out the work. Systematic dredging along the coast must\nbe undertaken by means of a suitable vessel. It is generally to be hoped that in the near\nfuture it will be found possible to obtain a launch for the use of the Department, in order that\nthis important branch of our institution may not be neglected. A suitable boat would be of\nvery great assistance also in obtaining data relating to the migration of sea-birds and the\nnesting habits, and would afford an opportunity of visiting certain little-known islands which\ncontain material of the greatest value and interest to the Provincial Museum.\nAnnexed will be found a complete list of all new specimens secured during the year.\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour obedient servant,\nFRANCIS KERMODE,\nDirector.

Eggs averaged about five in number, varying from\nblack to greenish white, spotted and blotched with various shades of brown ; size, 1.60 x 1.15. G 12 Provincial Museum Report. 1914\nThese birds do considerable damage to the smaller birds' nests. On several occasions they\nwere found plundering the homes and destroying the eggs of the goldfinch and western\nchipping-sparrow, which are usually found common in the peach and apple orchards throughout\nthe valley.\n^Clarke's Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana, Wils.).\nThe bird found common in the foot-hills from Penticton to Osoyoos Lake, more abundant\non the east side. Birds were taken at Penticton (Four-mile Creek) on April 10th, and at\nSchoonover Mountain, 4,000 feet altitude, on April 20th. Birds have been known to breed\nin the latter part of February, when the thermometer often registers 20 degrees below zero.\nFrom the size of the young birds taken in June, it is without doubt that the birds lay some\ntime about the middle of March. Search for the nests was made daily from April 20th to\n25th on Schoonover Mountain, 4,000 feet altitude; only one deserted nest was located in a\npine-tree 25 feet from the ground. The nest is a large bulky affair composed of sticks and\nlined with bark, etc.\n*Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus, Linn.).\nFairly common. Ten specimens taken at Penticton on June 20th. Located a female\nbuilding a nest on the ground in the meadow near Penticton on June 18th, and on my return\na few days later found the nest deserted.    A pair was seen at Okanagan Falls on May 20th.\n*Cowbird (Molothrus ater ater, Bodd.)\nBirds taken at Penticton on June 25th. Flock of about seven were seen at Okanagan\nFalls on May 21st.

Seen only in the bottom\nlands. Specimens were taken at Penticton, April 12th ; Okanagan Falls, April 15th and May\n10th ; and Vaseaux Lake and Osoyoos in May. Nests and eggs were taken at Dog Lake on\nMay 21st, also several fine sets at Vaseaux and Osoyoos on May 24th.\n* Western Meadow-lark (Stumella neglecta, Aud.).\nCommon at Penticton and Okanagan Falls; abundant nearly everywhere, in the fields\nand meadows throughout the valley.    Breeds.\n*Bullock's Oriole (Icterus bullocki, Swains.).\nAbundant throughout the valley. Birds taken on May 27th at Penticton, and on June\n6th at Vaseaux Lake. Breeds commonly close to water. Nests placed usually in deciduous\ntrees, resembling a hanging basket in shape. Fresh eggs were taken at Penticton on June\n15th. Eggs four in number, pale bluish white, streaked and lined with black, brown, and\ngrey ; size, 0.95 x 0.60. Nest containing four young was found at Dog Lake on June 20th.\nThe chatter of these birds can be heard from morn till night ; and they are very busy during\nthe nesting season.\n*Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus, Wag.).\nOne of the commonest birds in the valley. Large flocks were seen at Penticton on April\n12th, and also at Okanagan Falls during the months of May- and June. On May 29th a nest\ncontaining six eggs was taken. Eggs were slightly incubated. The nest was situated on a\nhaystack in an open meadow\u2014rather an unusual nesting-place. Another fine set was collected\nat Okanagan Falls on June 15th. Nest was placed on the ground and contained six dull\ngreyish eggs, blotched and spotted with brown and black ; size, 1 x 0.75.    Incubation fresh.\n*Western Evening Grosbeak (Hesperiphona vespertina montana, Ridg.).\nDuring the first week in June a flock of about twenty birds frequented our camp at\nSchoonover Mountain (3,500 feet). The birds were watched closely in order to try and locate\ntheir nesting-place, but our observations proved in vain. The birds showed no signs of pairing\nup to June 15th. Several birds were collected on June 12th, and on close examination of the\novaries three females showed no sign of breeding whatever ; therefore it is without doubt that\nthese birds lay well on into July. Mr. Blurton mentioned the fact that he once saw a female\nfeeding young birds near Mara during the latter part of July. From observations, it is\nbelieved that the birds nest near the tops of tall conifers, 100 to 150 feet high, otherwise an\nold nest would have been found. i V. ..\nSea-lions on  Pearl  Rocks,  south-west  of Cape  Calvert,   Queen  Charlotte   Sound,  B.C.\n^Sh-^s^hIH;7^-\nLarge   Sea-lion  lulled  on   Pearl  Rocks  and  towed  to   Grief Bay.   back   of   Sorrow   Island.  4 Geo. 5 Provincial Museum Report.

Slst, 1913.\nF, Kermode, Esq.,\nDirector, Provincial Museum, Victoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to report that during the current year I have collected material\nand data for the anthropological section from the following Indian villages, and from a few\nprivate collections.\nIn the beginning of February I went over to Vancouver to look at a collection of Upper\nSkeena curios, which I purchased, finding that the specimens would fill up one or two blanks\nfrom that locality. On my return to Victoria I acquired another small collection of Nass\nRiver material.\nIn the latter part of February I went to the following Lower Fraser villages : Upper\nand Lower Sardis, Chilliwack, Chehalis, and Yale. Old material is very scarce in this locality.\nI purchased two blankets (which were left to be decorated), a long river-canoe, and a number\nof small articles and foods, and gave orders for models where necessary.\nThe first week in March was spent in Vancouver and vicinity, getting in touch with the\nowners of some very interesting specimens. I succeeded in purchasing a collection containing\nsixty-five specimens from the Yale District, and also a dozen of the rare Chilcotin baskets.\nOn March 18th I left for the Kwakiutl and Bella Coola Districts. On leaving the boat\nat Alert Ray, I found the Indians in the middle of a large potlatch and far too occupied to\nattend to me, so I went on to Hardy Bay and across to Quatsino. Here, among other things, I\npurchased a fine inside pole, negotiations for which were opened last year.\nFrom Quatsino I went back to Hardy Bay and took a steamer to Bella Coola. Here\nwere secured a set of nets, traps, boxes, strainers, etc., used in the oolachan industry, also a\nnumber of masks and ceremonial objects. Then I took a short trip to Talio, South Bentinck\nArm, where two totem-poles and two grave-figures were purchased.\nOn the return trip from Bella Coola the steamer called in at Kimsquit, where I was lucky7\nin getting a small shovel-nose canoe used in river navigation.\nI left the steamer at Alert Bay, but, finding it impossible to do anything for a week, paid\na hurried visit to Victoria, arriving back in Alert Bay on April 16th, where I chartered a\ngasolene-boat to run up Knight's Inlet. At Tsawadi, the village at the head of the inlet, I\nfound the three poles with the carved beam, which you had reported to me, too far gone to\npurchase, but managed to secure one carving, as well as to open negotiations for others,\nwhich were photographed. We called at Tlaoitsis on the way back, where a few masks and\nceremonial objects were purchased.\nOn my return to Alert Bay, I managed to uncover one or two specimens of particular\ninterest, the chief of which being the board sail which you now have. This is the first of its\nkind secured by any museum to my knowledge.\nOn May7 1st I joined the sloop \"Nymphe,\" Captain Spring, which arrived from Victoria\ntwo days previously; the object being to gather information and inspect the haunts of sea-\nlions, as well as to continue my7 collecting for the Museum.\nOn the way north we called at Fort Rupert, Nahwitte (where we purchased an inside\ntotem-pole), Namu, Bella Bella, China Hat, and the Tsimshian villages, Kitkatla, Metlakatla,\nand Fort Simpson.    Specimens were secured at many of these places.\nI spent the latter part of May on the Nass River, visiting Lakalzap, Gitex, Angidah,\nGuineha, Ayansh, Kitladamix, and Kincolith, and, although many purchases were made, the\nIndians would not part with any of their larger carvings except at exorbitant prices. We\nsecured photographs of nearly every totem-pole and many smaller objects.\nOn June 1st we crossed over to the Queen Charlotte Islands, making our first call at\nMasset, where a large majority of the Indians were away. On cruising around the north and\nwest coasts of Graham Island we called in at the deserted villages, Ian, Kung, Yats, Kiusta,\nand Chaatl, securing specimens at one or two places and photographing the totem-poles at all\nthe villages. G 24 Provincial Museum Report. 19 J 4\nAfter having called at Skidegate, we worked our way south on the east side of Moresby\nIsland, but only stopped at Ninstints and Kaidsu while in southern waters. On crossing back\nto the Mainland, a landing was not made until upon arriving at Bella Bella for supplies.\nContinuing south, we called at the fishing camp on Goose Island, afterwards proceeding to\nNamu, where you joined us ; and coming south by steamer to Victoria, after the visit to Pearl\nRocks, arriving home on June 28th.\nThe latter part of July was spent on the north and west coasts of Vancouver Island,\nstudying the habits of the sea-lions. Quatsino, Nootka, and Ucluelet were visited on the way-\nsouth, but it was not possible to do any anthropological work, as all the Indians were away-\nfishing at that time of the year.\nIn the middle of September I made a quick trip to Chilliwack and vicinity to pick up\nmaterial previously ordered, and through the kind aid of Mrs. Hulbert I was able to interest\ncertain Indians of the Lower Fraser in the gathering of desirable specimens during the winter\nmonths.\nIn the early part of October I went north, and at Alert Bay made arrangements for\nrepairing and painting the pole bought at Tsawadi in the spring, and paid for the other four\npoles for which negotiations had previously been opened.\nComox, Courtenay, and Nanaimo were also visited in October, but I could not get the\nspecimens required, as they were in private hands.\nI finished the season's collecting with a trip to Alberni, where with Dr. Sapir, Anthropologist of the Geological Survey of Canada, I ordered models of certain implements formerly7\nused by the West Coast Indians.\nYou already have my annotated list of specimens collected during the year.\nI have, etc.,\nC.
