Mammals from along the Alaska Highway were obtained for theUniversity of Kansas Museum of Natural History in the summersof 1947 and 1948 by Mr. J. R. Alcorn, field representative of theMuseum. He and his family visited Alberta, British Columbia, theYukon Territory and Alaska in an automobile and trailer from June9, 1947, to September 6, 1947, and again from June 8, 1948, toAugust 24, 1948. In 1947, considerable time was spent by Alcornin Alaska; trips were made on the Steese Highway to Circle andon the Glenn Highway to Anchorage. In 1948, most of the collectingwas done in British Columbia and in the Yukon Territory buta side trip was taken to Haines, Alaska. The collecting stations areshown in figure 1. Alcorn's 1,252 specimens include several largeseries from areas where few or no mammals had been takenpreviously. Time spent at each collecting station was of short duration(usually less than three days) and although 56 species andsubspecies of mammals are represented in the collections, it isrecognized that not all of the kinds of mammals at any one localitywere taken.
For the loan of comparative mammalian material, grateful acknowledgmentis made to officials of the following institutions:California Academy of Sciences; Biological Surveys collection ofthe U. S. National Mus
