The Barren Ground Caribou Of Keewatin Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Barren Ground Caribou of Keewatin In a previous paper (1953) I have endeavored to express to various Officials and friends my Sincere appreciation Of their cour tesy and generosity in furthering the work Of the expedition; and I can scarcely forbear to repeat here the names of at least a few Of them: Dr. A. L. Washburn, at that time executive director Of the Arctic Institute Of North America; Mr. R. A. Gibson, deputy com missioner of the Administration Of the Northwest Territories; and Mr. G. W. Malaher, director Of the Game and Fisheries Branch, Manitoba. For the loan Of a motion-picture camera, which secured for me some extremely gratifying scenes Of the migrant hosts on the Barrens, I am greatly indebted to Mr. William C. Morrow. Dr. Ralph S. Palmer has kindly read, and made helpful comments upon, a preliminary draft Of the present report. Through the courtesy of the American Museum Of Natural History, the United States National Museum, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, I have been able to examine important comparative material in their collections. A grant from the National Science Foundation has enabled me to carry the investigation through to completion.

Excerpt from The Caribou In describing the genus Rangifer, European naturalists have until recently held that there was but one species with a circum polar distribution. Lately, however, they have partly yielded to the American view, and admitted the existence of either two or three distinct species. In the former case they identify the old' world reindeer with the Barren Ground Caribou, to which indeed it is closely allied. Judge Caton made a very serious error in identifying the reindeer with our Woodland Caribou. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
