labrador n Unfortunately, however, the boundaries of Labrador have never been clearly defined. The jurisdiction of the governor of Newfoundland, as defined in the letters patent regularly issued up to 1876, includes 'all the coast of Labrador, from the entrance of Hudson's Straits to a line to be drawn due north and south from Anse Sablon [sic] on the said coast to the fifty-second degree of latitude.'
