woodland, plains, plateaus and Mackenzie river, Arctic and North 
Pacific Coast. 
The Eastern Woodland Belt is thick forest with fallen timber 
and underbrush. Where the snowshoe is in common.use the snow is 
deep and soft. It includes Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Bruns- 
wick, Maine, Ontario and the northern part of New York State. 
The Plains Belt takes in the plains proper and the adjoining 
park country as comprised in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and 
some of the country to the south of the International Boundary. The 
snowfall is lighter but it is wind driven, hard and dry. 
The Plateaus Belt is largely woodland, thinning out in the north 
into The Barrens. It includes British Columbia, Alaska, The Yukon 
and the Mackenzie River Basin, with the contained Rocky Mountains.
