Abstract
(1) A REVISED edition of Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton's “Arctic Prairies” (first published in 1911) is very welcome. It is a well-told story of a canoe journey of 2000 miles in search of the caribou (a kind of reindeer), and it discloses a cheerful picture of the abundance of wild life (in 1907) in the Far North-west of America. “I have lived in the mighty boreal forest, with its Red-men, its Buffalo, its Moose, and its Wolves; I have seen the Great Lone Land with its endless plains and prairies that do not know the face of man or the crack of a rifle; I have been with its countless lakes that reecho nothing but the wail and yodel of the Loons, or the mournful music of the Arctic Wolf. I have wandered on the plains of the Musk-ox, the home of the Snowbird and the Caribou.”
