rough Nature, up to Nature's God"? But, Sir, I must stop here; and not without renewed apologies for having detained you so long over a question on which, as I have already warned you, I do not profess to be a scientific expert. I fear I have been no architect, not even a builder. But perhaps I have done a hodman's work, by bringing a little mortar, with which some of the nobler materials may presently be put together. 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 Cote Nord du Saint Laurent et le Labrador Canadien--Par Eugene Rouillard: Quebec, 1908--Ministere de la Colonisation, des Mines et des Pecheries._ 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 Napoleon 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."
