The common name is derived & from the curious flexible snout of | the males, which, when relaxed hangs 6 to 10 inches below the muz- zle. This structure which superficial- ly resembles the trunk of an ele- phant can be moved about and even raised to a vertical position. | The specimen found at Kasaan is reported to have been shot by In- dians in Kasaan Bay several days previously. It was a large male 14 to 15 feet long and estimated to weigh between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds. When killed it was in ex- | cellent condition as shown by the heavy layer of blubber beneath the skin. Feed Deep Little is known of its food habits ! but the stomach contents of the Point Loma specimen indicate that these large, slow-moving seals feed on the bottom in 50 to 150 fathoms of water on squids, skates, ratfish and slow-moving species of sharks, Its only enemy other than man is renorted to tbe the Kkiller whale The specimen at Kasaan bore mute evidence of a previous encounter with a formidable enemy, ‘an old scar of immense size on its left side showing where a large piece of flesh had been torn out. It is interesting to conjecture if the occurrence of this southern ani- mal is in any way connected with the reported occurrence of pompano, tuna, and other warm water fishes uniform as commander Lord Tweedsmuir saw service R.

SEA ELEPHANT Perhaps Alaska may at some remote day once more boast the tropical climate which it did in the dim past, as is evidenced by the numer- ous fossilized tropical forms that have been found wASHES ASHORE | Several excellent photographs were | obtained by the Forest Service and NEAR KASAAN are being forwarded to the proper authorities as evidence so that this extremely rare record may be of- | - il ficially recognized. |Rare Two-fon Animal Nev-| er Reported North of California | | ( Try an Empire ac¢ A sea elephant or elephant seal, ! a strange and rare form of sea life, recently was washed ashore on the i beach at Kasaan on Prince of Wales | Island, where, on November 6, it was | viewed by Forest Service officers from the launch Forester. | The only known herd of these ani- mals is now found on Guadalupe Island off the coast of Mexico. Ap- parently it has never before been recorded north of California. Point Reyes and Point Loma are both listed as localities where it was formerly known. In 1929 one was killed on the high seas about 40 miles off Point Loma, San Diego, California, and the account of this capture states that It was the first | | individual of the species to be taken | {in California waters for many de-| cades, | Once Common in South Formerly these huge denizens of | | the sea were quite common off the coast of Southern California where | | they hauled up in small herds on| the islands and the more inaccessible beaches of the mainland. The large | amount of oil in their bodies and | their helplessness on shore tempted| the sealers and whalers, and be- | tween 1855 and 1870 great numbers | were killed. It is recorded that in 1892 there were but nine elephant seals found on Guadalupe Island | and seven of these were successfully | pursued and killed. Fifteen years1 later, in 1907, 40 were found at this | remote haven and 14 of this number | were killed. From this small nucleus‘ the herd increased until in 1929 a count revealed 469 seals, | !

As a day of family feasting and pleasure, it has no equal on our calendar. But Thanksgiving has a deeper mean- ing to us, too. It is the day which we have specifically set aside to give thanks to the Almighty for the benefits received during the past year, and on which we express the hopeful- ness that the next year will bring us our needs and that “peace will reign on earth.” THE B.
