FOREWORD Vili 
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.
