The moose {Alee americantis, Jardine) is 

 only found in the southwest portion of Labra- 

 dor. It does not occur to the east of the 

 Saguenay, and to the west of that river its 

 northern limit hardly reaches to the southern 

 boundary of the peninsula. Moose are found 

 in the region between the St. Lawrence and 

 Lake St. John, and westward about the tribu- 

 taries of the St. Maurice and other streams 

 flowing southward into the St. Lawrence and 

 Ottawa rivers. They are most abundant about 

 the headwaters of the Ottawa to the north- 

 ward of Mattawa. The building of railways 

 and the settlement of the country about Lake 

 Temiscaming is driving the moose northward, 

 so that for the past few years a number have 

 been killed about the southern part of James 

 Bay, where for many years previous none had 

 |been taken. 



Woodland caribou {Rangifer caribou, Linn.) 

 ^are found in the southern wooded part of the 

 )eninsula, ranging northward into the semi- 

 )arren regions, where they overlap the south- 

 ern range of the barren-ground caribou. About
