having a northerly, easterly or southerly direction, or any at all approaching either of such directions. In the course of a chapter contributed by him to "The Book of the Ouananiche," Mr. Low says: "I found the ouananiche in the Roksoak River for a distance of over 200 miles below Lake Caniapscow. Between the place where last seen and the sea are four chutes, one of which at least could not be passed by salmon from below, as it has a sheer fall of sixty feet. My guide of the summer of 1894 informed me that ouananiche were found in the lakes and river stretches of the upper part of the George River, which also empties into Ungava Bay. On the eastern. watershed we frequently caught land-locked salmon on both branches of the Hamilton River above the Grand Falls, where the sheer fall is 300 feet.

"Ouananiche were also taken in the great Lake Michikamow.

I do not know what the theories are regarding the occurrence of these fish in inland waters, but of one thing I am certain and that is they have never ascended from the sea to their present haunt since the close of the glacial period, and I hardly think the conditions were favorable then. My idea is that the salmon was originally a fresh water fish and acquired the sea going habit."

I have much that might be of interest to you and your friends on this subject, but from the mass of manuscript which I am now engaged in revising it is difficult to decide as to what selections might prove acceptable.
