NOTE TO THIRD EDITION 



In preparing a third edition of this book, which has been 

 out of print for several years, the only apology I have to 

 offer is that which has been passed on to me from the pub- 

 lishers, viz., the continued demand for copies. In doing so 

 I wish to state that not only has the original edition been 

 carefuUy revised, but that most of my illustrations are 

 entirely new, and that new maps and new chapters have been 

 added, descriptive of the hunting and habits of musk-oxen, 

 and the history, resources and navigation of our great inland 

 saltwater system, Hudson Bay and Strait. I wish also to 

 acknowledge the kindness of Messrs. W. W. Cory, Deputy 

 Minister, and James White, Geographer, of the Department 

 of the Interior, for the use of plates of the Dominion map, 

 and further, to say that most of the photographs from which 

 my illustrations are made were taken by my brother, J. B. 

 Tyrrell, without whose direction and courage our expedi- 

 tion of 1893 could not have been. 



To my brother, therefore, with most kindly wishes, is this 

 vohime dedicated.
