MAMMALS OF NORTHERN CANADA 241
the vicinity of Fort Anderson and from the eastern Barren
Lands. At nearly all of the Company's posts in the Mackenzie
River District likewise, a number of skins were obtained
for the Smithsonian Institution, and the gentlemen
of the service above named were the contributors, together
with Messrs. Hardisty, Wilson, Lockhart, A. Flett, J. Flett,
W. Thomson, Smith, Gaudet, Taylor, Siibbiston, McDougall,
Camsell and MacFarlane.
Among the many northern Mackenzie River collectors of
those distant days to whom reference was made in my paper
on birds breeding in Arctic America, as well as those
specially referred to in these notes, but few besides the writer
are now ( 190S1 living. I think they are Chief Factor
James McDougall, Chief Traders C P . Gaudet. W. J.
McLean and William C. King, and Messrs. Murdo McLeod
and John Edward Harriott. Archdeacon Robert McDonald,
D. D., of Peel River, also ranked among the number of successful
Smithsonian collectors of the early sixties of the last
century. Among those who have passed away are the
lamented naturalist, Robert Kennicott; Chief Factors William
L Hardisty, Lawrence Clarke and J. S. Camsell; Chief
Traders Bernard R. Ross, James Lockhart, John Wilson
and John Reid, and Messrs. Strachan Jones, A. Mackenzie,
Andrew Flett, James Flett, J . Sibbiston and William Brass;
also the recently deceased Bishop Grandin. D. D.. of St.
Albert. Alberta," and Archdeacon W. W. Kirkby, D. D., of
Rye, New York, both of whom contributed some interesting
specimens during their former missionary sojourn in the Mackenzie
District. Neither has death spared the Smithsonian
Institution. The eminent Professors Henry and Baird,
together with the able Assistant Secretary, Dr. G. Brown
Goode, the genial and experienced zoologist, Major C. E
Bendire, and others, have been called away.
