Apart from the Bathurst Island report, there are relatively few Pleistocene walrus records for Canada. Two radiocarbon dates on walrus bone in the 3000- to range are known from an archaeological site on southern Hudson Strait. Specimens of Champlain Sea age or earlier have been col- lected from seven localities along the shores of the St. Lawrence River east of Quebec City. As yet, there is no evidence that walruses invaded the Champlain Sea proper, although other cold-adapted pinnipeds such as ringed and harp seals were there (Harington and Sergeant 1972, pp. 1045, 1047).
