Abstract

Two articles are included in this edition of Northern News. The first is "Glacial-geomorphological research in the Howells Valley and the watershed district of central Quebec-Labrador" by E. Darbyshire who concluded that the ice sheet in this area melted to form thin, separate masses occupying the valleys between the ridges of the Labrador Trough and that there is no evidence for ice-dammed lakes. The second article is "Biological studies in Ungava during 1958" by P.M. Driver.
