Trout Lake: A high plateau and a possible alternative to 32. 34. "Cartridge" Lakes: A spruce-lichen complex in an exceptional drumlin field with glacial fluting, with talus between drumlins. 35. Ebbutt Hills: A high plateau rising from the Slave Lowlands of exceptional floristic interest. 36. Beniah Lake: Representative spruce-lichen forest with adjacent burned land. 37. Yellowknife: A region disturbed by man's activities and of interest to students of floral successions. 38. Discovery Mine: A region once disturbed by mining and of similar interest as 37. 39. Colville Lake: A sample of representative flora on the east side of the lake, to be used for comparison with floras on Paleozoic and Precambrian rock. 40. Ennadai Lake: A sample of the transition from tundra to taiga. 41. West Mirage Islands: These islands are home to many bird species normally found along the Arctic Coast and in the tundra, and are hence ecologically unique. 42. Middle Mackenzie Delta: A representa- tive sample of the zone between tundra and taiga. 43. Anderson River Delta: transition from spruce forest to tundra includes northern range extensions of many species. 44. KuGALUK River and Estuary: interesting area because of effects of fire on position of treeline. 45. Tuktoyaktuk: an area which includes a remarkable range of surficial frost pheno- mena; area now
