Abstract
DURING my various arctic expeditions I have learnt a good deal about the ovibos (musk ox) from conversation with the Eskimos, and perhaps more from actual observation. Especially when we were in Melville Island (1916–17) we were in almost continuous association with the animal. It has occurred to me that what we know of the present habits and distribution of ovibos throws a light on one of the geological problems of the American arctic.
