Zoological Statistics and the Hudson's Bay Company

Abstract

AMONG the “Notes” in NATURE of December 28, there is one in which mention is made of the great dearth of martens imported into London this last season from Hudson's Bay, also of the death of 3,000 Indians from small-pox in the Saskachewan district. It is then added “that martens that are not killed, and Indians that die, mean reduced dividends to the Hudson's Bay shareholders and traders.”
