Harp is followed by 4 reports on biological research projects: "Study of vegetation types in Alaska in relation to soil profiles and solifluction" by Herbert Hanson; "Study of the cryptograms of the Arctic Slope of Alaska" by George Lano; "The role of lipids in the adaptation of animals to various climates" by Xavier Musacchia; and "Study of peripheral circulation in the Eskimo" by Malcolm Brown, J.D.
