Bibliography
This short list is a mere indication of what can be found in any good library.
General information is given in Labrador; its Discovery, Exploration and Development—By W.G. Gosling: Toronto, Musson. The Atlantic Labrador is dealt with by competent experts in Labrador: the Country and the People—By W.T. Grenfell and Others: New York, The Macmillan Company, 1910. This has several valuable chapters on the fauna. The Peninsula generally, the interior especially, and the fauna incidentally, are dealt with in the reports of A.P. Low and D.I.V. Eaton to the Geological Survey of Canada, 1893-4-5. An excellent general paper on the country is The Labrador Peninsula, By Robert Bell, in The Scottish Geographical Magazine for July, 1895. The N. of the S.W. part is more particularly described in his Recent Explorations to the South of Hudson Bay in The Geographical Journal for July, 1897. The Quebec Labrador is the subject of a recent Provincial report, La Côte Nord du Saint Laurent et le Labrador Canadien—Par Eugène Rouillard: Quebec, 1908—Ministère de la Colonisation, des Mines et des Pêcheries. An excellent account of animal life on the W. half of the Quebec Labrador is to be found in Life and Sport on the North Shore—By Napoléon A. Comeau: Quebec, 1909. The zoology of the Mammals, though not particularly in their Labrador habitat, is to be found in Life-Histories of Northern Mammals—By Ernest Thompson-Seton: London, Constable, 2 Vols., 1910. The birds, similarly, in the Catalogue of Canadian Birds—By John Macoun and James M. Macoun: Ottawa, Government Printing Bureau, 1909. Some books about adjacent areas may be profitably consulted, like Newfoundland and its Untrodden Ways—By John Guille Millais, and American official publications, like the Birds of New York—By Elon Howard Eaton: Albany, University of the State of New York, 1910. No. 34 of the New York Zoological Society Bulletin—for June, 1909—is a "Wild-life Preservation Number." The best general history and present-day summary of the world's fur trade is to be found in a recent German work, a genuine Urquellengeschichte. French and English translations will presumably appear in due course. The statistical tables are wonderfully complete. The illustrations are the least satisfactory feature. This book is—Aus dem Reiche der Pelze. Von Emil Brass: Berlin, Im Verlage der Neuen Pelzwaren-Zeitung, 1911.
