ALONG THE LABRADOR COAST 



Dana Esles and Co.. Publishers. 1907 



" ' Along the Labrador Coast,' by Dr. C. W. Town- 

 send, is an excellent illustration of what may be accom- 

 plished in a short vacation. From July 10 to August 

 3, 1906, the author skirted the Labrador coast or ex- 

 plored the vicinity of the fishing villages. . . . Many 

 of the author's facts are valuable contributions to our 

 knowledge of the fauna and flora of Labrador. The 

 simple narrative makes enjoyable reading and ad- 

 mirably supplements the more technical 'Birds of 

 Labrador,' which Dr. Townsend has published as No. 

 7, Vol. XXXIII, of the proceedings of the Boston So- 

 ciety of Natural History. While travehng primarily 

 as an ornithologist, the author neglected nothing of 

 interest, historical, botanical, or himian. Besides the 

 general account, there are chapters devoted to Fish 

 and Fishermen, the Eskimo Dog, Captain Cartwright, 

 the Need of an Audubon Society, and Dr. Grenfell and 

 his Work. A map enables the reader to follow everj"- 

 step of the trip." — Nation, Nov. 14, 1907. 



" Dr. Townsend has excellent descriptive powers. He 

 is a naturalist who sees nature as it is, and writes of it 

 with appreciation. He attempts no florid apparel for 

 his thoughts or sentiments, and his work is mentally 

 refreshing and of a most instructive character. There 

 may be many arid places in Labrador, but there are 

 none in Dr. Townsend's narrative." — Philadelphia 

 Record, July 28, 1907.
