The present paper is an outgrowth of a collecting trip made by myself to the eastern arctic during the summer of 1935. The month of August was spent in the vicinity of Lake Harbour, Baffin Island, and brief stops were made at Port Burwell, Que., at Craig Harbour, Ellesmere Island, and at Pangnirtung and Clyde, Baffin Island. Results were satisfactory, considering the difficulties which the collector must experience in the region, and this success was due largely to indispensable aid received from Major D. L. McKeand of the Lands, Northwest Territories and Yukon Branch, Department of the Interior, and from Mr. James Bell and Mr. Nelson Adams of the Hudson's Bay Company, Lake Harbour.
