Life and Sport in Labrador 
NAPOLEON A. COMEAU. 
In “Life and Sport on the North Shore of the Lower 
St. Lawrence and Gulf,” Mr. Comeau has made a 
valuable addition to the literature of rod and rifle— 
and more. It is a book of engrossing personal inter¬ 
est to the sportsman or general reader, and of rare 
value to the student of wild life. 
The author describes the events and experiences of 
fifty years, spent in the cause of humanity and science 
in one of the most interesting and least known sec¬ 
tions of Canada. He writes as one sportsman to his 
fellows, detailing his experiences with the wild things 
of wood, shore and sea, with plenty of stirring experi¬ 
ences with big game and gamy fish. 
Illustrated, 450 pages. Paper. Postpaid, $2.50.
