The rainfall in British Columbia is considerable, and the flora trees, plants, ferns richer than anywhere else in North America, with many resemblances to the trees and plants of Japan and northern China. On the Alaskan coasts and islands is Otaria ursina, the creature which provides the sealskin fur of commerce. Alexander Henry, jun., gives some interesting facts about this remarkable beast.
