The Barren Ground Caribou of Keewatin (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Barren Ground Caribou of Keewatin In a previous paper (1953) I have endeavored to express to various Officials and friends my Sincere appreciation Of their cour tesy and generosity in furthering the work Of the expedition; and I can scarcely forbear to repeat here the names of at least a few Of them: Dr. A. L. Washburn, at that time executive director Of the Arctic Institute Of North America; Mr. R. A. Gibson, deputy com missioner of the Administration Of the Northwest Territories; and Mr. G. W. Malaher, director Of the Game and Fisheries Branch, Manitoba. For the loan Of a motion-picture camera, which secured for me some extremely gratifying scenes Of the migrant hosts on the Barrens, I am greatly indebted to Mr. William C. Morrow. Dr. Ralph S. Palmer has kindly read, and made helpful comments upon, a preliminary draft Of the present report. Through the courtesy of the American Museum Of Natural History, the United States National Museum, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, I have been able to examine important comparative material in their collections. A grant from the National Science Foundation has enabled me to carry the investigation through to completion.
