- have just agreed to refrain from killing walrus
in Canadian + Greenland waters. He tells me also
that there is a marine mammal zoologist
in Newfoundland now, working at the
fisheries station there. The Icths [Ichthyologist] + Herps [Herpetologist] position
at the Nat. Mus [National Museum] has been filled by a young
zoologist from McGill who has done some
good amphib [amphibian] + reptile work in the maritime
+ is now working in Labrador.
Apparently the Carnegie scholarship arrangements
McGill has provides $100 000 over 5 years
to be divided between 5 departments for
Arctic studies. So far only Geology, Botany +

currently under weigh [way] do not sound too scientific.
Largely exploratory.
Met Dr [I.W.?] Parnell on Monday + lunched with

sheep. He has undertaken some interesting studies
of seasonal fluctuation in parasite load.
by counting egg discharge with a masterean
slide + dilution technique following, salt flotation
of the eggs in a 1 gm [gram] sample. He finds
a marked rise of egg discharge in April-May-
June. Finds Ostertagia + Nematodirus both
bad parasites.
He has done some work on deer
including a study on imm [crossed out] antibody against
louping ill virus in red deer. This was a
