"Comments on "Carnivorous Walrus and Some Arctic Zoonoses
In this interesting paper (Arctic 13:111-22) F. H. Fay suggests that polar bears and walrus contract trichinosis primarily from the flesh of ringed and bearded seals. I do not necessarily dispute this, but I do suggest that Fay unduly discounts other sources of infection. Bears are omnivorous scavengers and at times will eat, or try to eat, the most unlikely substances. Armstrong gives the stomach contents of a bear shot in Prince of Wales Strait…
Pack dogs in the Canadian Arctic
Before the Eskimo economy had been much affected by the advent of whites, pack dogs were a common means of summer transport in most if not all parts of the Canadian Arctic. Among the changes which have led to less inland movement in summer are the attraction of settlements at “ship time”, the increase in bulk and weight of the average Eskimo family's personal effects, the increased reliance on bought food, the advent of boats and modern weapons, …
Narrative of a Second Defence Research Board Expedition to Banks Island, with Notes on the Country and Its History
During July-Aug. 1953, the writer and I.M. Sparrow completed the circumnavigation of Banks Island by canoe, started in 1952 (Arctic Bibliography No. 30678). He describes archeological work on Thule Eskimo houses at Cape Kellet in May-June, the overland journey to Castel Bay on the north coast, and the trip south by canoe. Notes and photographs of topographic features were made; tide readings taken; bird, mammal, plant, and geological specimens co…
North American Moose, by Randolph L. Peterson
Remarks on the Reproduction, Sex Ratio, and Life Expectancy of the Varying Lemming, Dicrostonyx Groenlandicus , in Nature and Captivity
Contains results of a study between Sept. 1949 and Sept. 1953, of a colony started from 16 Greenland varying lemmings and one Mackenzie varying lemming (D.g. kilangmiutak). Records of the colony are compared with field observations and more detailed work done on related genera. Subjects discussed include: age of sexual maturity, litter size, gestation period and litter frequency, sex ratios, care of young, life expectancy and disease
Narrative of an Unsuccessful Attempt to Circumnavigate Banks Island by Canoe in 1952
Contains chronological account of events May-Nov. 1952 on Banks Island and mainland. The writer and A. Macpherson (q.v.) made preliminary soundings in harbors on south, west, and north coasts of the island and topographic and geologic notes on coastline and interior, collected bird, mammal, and plant specimens, and excavated four Thule houses. Canoe trip from De Salis Bay clockwise around the island was stopped by ice at Castel Bay on the north c…
Remarks on the Tides and Driftwood Strand Lines Along the East Coast of James Bay
Contains notes and observations on tides and driftwood strand lines made incidentally to other work during a canoe trip (Moosonee to Long Island) in summer 1950, the measurements being taken at irregular intervals and only in the daytime. Reference is made, and eyewitness accounts are quoted regarding the unusually high tide of October 1949, the highest in the memory of the James Bay residents. This is supplemented by observations on the driftwoo…
Eskimo Stone Houses in Foxe Basin
Tidal Observations in Arctic Waters
Manning's notes on tides along the southern Hudson Bay and western James Bay coasts are those made by him in 1947 while canoeing from Moosonee to York Factory and around Akimiski Island; tidal observations at Resolute Bay on Cornwallis Island, July-Aug. 1949, and at Isachsen (78 47 N, 103 32 W) Aug. 31-Sept. 6, 1949 were made by R.W. Rae; editorial note supplements the Resolute Bay observations by mentioning measurements made in 1850-51 at Assist…
Birds of Arctic Alaska, by Alfred M. Bailey
an area of about 1,360,000 square miles, rather more than half of which lay in Canada. The United States withdrew from the Project in 1 9 4 4 , but the Canadian study group increased its activities, and expanded the areas originally covered, so that ultimately about 1,000,-000 square miles was considered
Eskimo Stone House Ruins on the East Side of Hudson Bay: A Correction
In 1944 when I was at Port Harrison, I enquired if there were any Eskimo stone house ruins in the region, but the Eskimos knew of none except 'strong' tent rings. Because of this, and from the reactions of our Eskimo crew to the houses and strong tent rings on the King. George and Marcopeet islands, I concluded1 that if there were any Thule type houses on the mainland they were too old to be easily recognized.In 1946, I was again working for the …
Pipestems of the Caribou Eskimos
Explorations on the East Coast of Hudson Bay
When we consider the primitive methods of map making and navigation available to Henry Hudson, and the difficulties of an arctic voyage in unknown waters his map2 of the east coast of Hudson Bay is remarkably clear. Hudson's journal unaccountably ends when he reached lat. 6i? 20' in 1610, over ten months before his death. Although an account of the voyage was written by one of the mutineers, Abacuk Prickett, the geographical details in this are s…
Ruins of Eskimo Stone Houses on the East Side of Hudson Bay
Archaeological material obtained from Eskimos on the east side of Hudson Bay has been described by Mathiassen, Quimby, and Jenness, but no systematic excavations have been made in the area. Mathiassen was told by Mr. S. Berthfi of Reveillon Frdres that there were house ruins of turf and stone on the east coast of Hudson Bay at Kovik Bay, Mosquito Bay, and Cape Dufferin, and also on the Ottawa Islands; and by Mr. Perdy of the Hudson's Bay Company …
