Clarification of some api characteristics in relation to caribou (Rangifer tarandus)

A total of 2177 comparisons of api hardness vs. density in northern Saskatchewan, southeastern Manitoba and northeastern Finland revealed no consistent correlation (r varied from +.70 to -.17). A total of 1395 comparisons of horizontal hardness of the top layer of api to vertical hardness of the sam...
