University of Victoria, and he put mice onto the nine islands. Four islands became populated by mice. He called it his "long term project", for it would proba- bly be a long time before any of the isolated mice showed genetic differences from their Vancouver Island ancestors. He was hoping, I assume, that future studies would show the result of time and iso- lation causing differemces. He also worked on islands to find nesting sea birds. The magnitude of his searching is shown in Syesis for 1971, an example showing that his study of nesting sea birds in Barkley Sound was not easy. That one inlet has about 150 large islands and reefs plus at least as many small ones. While at the museum Charlie wrote ten popular books covering the birds in British Columbia, mainly for the province's increasing numbers of neophite birders. He also co-authored, with his university pro- fessor and friend Ian McTaggert-Cowan, a much used book about the province's mammals. Through twenty-two years it had seven printings and two minor revisions. In my time of many travels about the province I saw the museum's many handbooks in use, even in remote homesteads.
