observations have already been made. The gross imperfection of the 
government charts for the region north of Cape Harrigan 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 
zodlogy 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.
