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._
