FOREWORD Vll 



the chapter on Geology, but also the task of editing the 

 whole work. 



Dr. E. B. Delabarre, Professor of Psychology at Brown 

 University, accompanied Dr. Daly on his journey along the 

 coast, and has described the flora from an ecological point 

 of view as most likely to be of interest to the average 

 reader. His exhaustive list of plants has been omitted 

 from the book, but is preserved at Brown University. 



Dr. C. W. Townsend of Boston and Mr. G. M. Allen, 

 who have written on the ornithology, made a special 

 journey to Labrador to study its birds. Dr. Townsend 

 has already published a book entitled Along the Labrador 

 Coast as a further result of their expedition. 



Mr. Charles W. Johnson, Curator of the Boston Society 

 of Natural History, has undertaken the insects (Mr. John 

 Sherman, Junior, expert on the beetles, has described this 

 special group) and mollusks from a collection of Mr. 

 Owen Bryant of Harvard, made in 1908. 



Mr. Outram Bangs has supplied the list of mammals. 

 Miss Mary J. Rathbun, the well-known expert at the 

 United States National Museum at Washington, supplied 

 all the information we have about the crustaceans, includ- 

 ing a study of those collected by Mr. Bryant. 



Dr. A. P. Low, Deputy of Minister of Mines in Canada, 

 has contributed a chapter on the interior of this little- 

 known land. 



Mr. William B. Cabot of Boston, who for several' years 

 has made an annual visit to the Montagnais Indians of 

 Labrador, and who has edited a dictionary of their lan- 

 guage, has had unique opportunities for observing their 

 habits. He has contributed a valuable monograph from 

 his special experiences.
