established in Labrador in the near future, while an
abundance of undeveloped land is available and before the
wild life has been decimated to such an extent as to make
its preservation difficult;

"_Be it therefore Resolved_, that the Secretary convey to
Colonel Wood the assurance of our hearty interest in and
approval of the plan to establish adequate animal
sanctuaries in Labrador, and our hope that such sanctuaries
will be established in the near future."

Dr. John M. Clarke, Director, Science Division, New York State
Education Department, and a gentleman acquainted with the wild life of
the gulf of St. Lawrence, writes:

I have taken much interest in reading your paper. It seems
to be based on an extraordinary acquaintance with the
situation.

Canada is blessed with many unique natural resorts of animal
life and I have been particularly impressed with the
invasions that have been made on the wonderful nesting
places of the waterfowl. In my repeated stays on the coast
of Gaspe and the islands of the Gulf, now running over a
dozen years, I have had my attention forced to the hideous
sacrifices of bird life that are constantly going on; for
example in the Magdalen islands with their extraordinary
array of shore birds. The great lagoons within the islands
afford ideal breeding conditions, and an extraordinary
attraction for the hunter as well.
