Extract

The Island of Newfoundland is divided into tliree faunal zones—Arctic, Hudsonian and Canadian. The latter two are of about equal size but the first is only a narrow strip along the North and North East coasts. TheCollection hereinafter referred to came exclusively from the southwestern part the island in the Canadian zone. The locality is interesting because this part of Newfoundland remained unglaciated during the last continental glaciation. It possesses a large relict flora of species which have persisted since pleistocene times and it is possible that some insects of that period also survie.
