| Summary: | labrador n Back to our own waters, in closing. Back in 1885, W.A. Stearns published that lobsters were common everywhere along the shores of Labrador. This statement was corrected in 1895 by Francis Hobart Herrick, underscoring their relative rarity in Labrador, and going on to observe: [i] "He (Stearns) probably had in mind "Inner Labrador", as the territory of the Province of Quebec, which stretch- es southwesterly from the Straits of Belle Isle is often erroneously called."[i] You tell'em, Dr. Herrick.
