Some observations on the shore fauna of Baffin Island
T HE first trained biologist to examine the shores of Baffin Island was Ludwig Kumlien who was a member of the Howgate Polar expedition 1877-8 which wintered in Cumberland Sound (Kumlien, 1879). Previous to his report at least one collection was known, for Hancock (1846) describes a series of shells...
