Excerpt from The Mammals of Keewatin
At the close of the account of each species I have added, from the previous literature, records of its known distribution in adjacent regions - particularly southern Keewatin, eastern Mackenzie, and the northern parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. For some of the species there has been apparently no such comprehensive summation since the outstanding works of Preble (1902; To conserve time and space I have not usually cited the works published prior to those of Preble, but have simply utilized his summaries. Particular attention has been paid to records from the mixed forest and tundra areas along the wide boundary between the Hudsonian Life-zone and the Arctic Life-zone, stretching from Churchill some 900 miles northwest to Great Bear Lake. The aim has been to bring up to date, in one place, our knowledge of the general and zonal distribution, in this part of Canada, of the mammals discussed.
