who writes in the Geographical Jour
nal: “Contrasting pleasantly with
the gradual retreat and approaching
extermination of both the caribou and
the musk-ox is the increase in num

rat. the beaver and the moose. Hall
a century ago, to the westward of
fireat Bear lake, moose were found
only on the west side of the Macken
zie river. They have since crossed
the river until something like twenty
years ago they reached the west end
of the Bear lake, some ten years ago
they got to the east end of the lake
and three years ago the first moose
were seen on the shores of Coronation
gulf by the Rae river Eskimo
