268 BULLETIN : MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 



observations have already been made. The gross imperfection of the 

 o-overnment charts for the region north of Cape Harrigau is such that 

 no just idea is given of the splendid fiords that indent the plateau. 

 These should be sounded and mapped if the great fishing fleet is to find 

 appreciable help in their arduous calling from those who can afford the 

 leisure to do this necessary work. The Labrador should be mapped at 

 least as carefully as the coast of northern Norway. With the mapping, 

 detailed observations of value on the hydrography of the coastal waters 

 could be carried on. The remarkable tides of Ungava Bay, the marine 

 zoology of the coast, particularly the study of the jelly-fishes, the fixing 

 of bench marks to show the rate of elevation on the coast, the study of 

 the fossiliferous beds of the raised beaches, — these and other subjects 

 of research await the explorers of the future.
