Abstract

The news items include: 1) an outline of courses in Arctic studies given at the McGill University Geography Summer School; 2) information from Richard Bøgvad on diamond drilling and core analysis of a magnetic iron ore deposit at Grønnedal in southwest Greenland which led to the conclusion that the deposit is not economic; 3) details of the 1950 Eastern Arctic Patrol which marked the maiden voyage of the C.D. Howe, written by A. Stevenson; 4) a summary of Werner Sander's auroral observations in the Barents Sea, Nov.-Dec. 1949.
