. The Arctic prairies, a canoe-journey of 2,000 miles in search of the caribou; being the account of a voyage to the region north of Aylmer Lake. Deer hunting. 4 THE ARCTIC PRAIRIES tion of Northern Hares (Snowshoe-rabbits or White- rabbits) had reached its maximum, for nine-tenths of the bushes in sight from the train had been barked at the snow level. But the fact that we saw not one. Map showing the north limit of trees and of the successful culture of potatoes, barley, and wheat The dotted line £lom the Saskatchewan noithward is my canoe-roate Rabbit shows that "the plague" had appeared, had run its usual drastic course, and nearly exterminated the species in this particular region. Early next morning at Kininvie (40 miles west of Medicine Hat, Alberta) we saw a band of 4 Antelope south of the track; later we saw others all along as far as Gleichen. All were south of the track. The bands contained as follows: 4, 14, 18, 8, 12, 8, 4, 1, 4, 5, 4, 6, 4,18, 2, 6, 34, 6, 3,1,10, 25,16, 3, 7, 9 (almost never 2, probably because this species does not pair), or 232 Antelope in 26 bands along 70 miles of track;.
