The author, a mammalogist, was joined by a second scientist and an expert hunter during a four-month expedition in 1910. They collected over 500 mammal skins, 1100 bird specimens, and documented dozens of species on the island. This book presents a checklist of the species encountered along with detailed accounts of each, including behaviors and habitats. The observations presented contribute to our knowledge of the distribution and taxonomy of vertebrates on Vancouver Island. The descriptions of animal behaviors and the discussion of the geographic distribution of species is valuable to understanding the ecology and evolution of the region. This book will be of interest to mammalogists, ornithologists, and other naturalists.
