I n the t h i r d report of the Select Committee of the Senate
of the Dominion of Canada, appointed i n 188S to inquire
into the resources of the " Great Mackenzie B a s i n , " we find
the following classified summary of one year's catch of furs
offered for sale i n London by C . M . Lampson & Co.. and by
the Hudson's B a y Company, namely:
Badgers 3,739 | Martens 98.342
Bears of all kinds 15,942 Minks 376.223
Beaver 104,279 Musk Ox 19S
Ermines 4,166 Musquash 2.4S3.36S
Fishers 7.192 Extra black 13,944
Foxes: Otters, land 14.439
Blue 1,440 : Rabbits 114.824
Cross 6,785 Sables 3,517
Gray 31,597 , Seals, hair- dry 13,478
Kitt 290 Skunks BS2.794
Red S5.022 Swans 57
Silver 1,907 Wolves 7,156
White 10.257 Wolverines 1.5S1
Lynxe3 14,520

well as the general public, might not form erroneous opinions
i n respect to the fur resources of the " Great Basin "
i n question. The annual fur sales of the Hudson's Bay
Company i n January and March comprise all of the pelts
collected bv their officers and agents throughout their former
chartered and licensed territories and from parts of N ew
Ontario, Quebec, and Labrador. On the other hand, while
the Lampson incorporation undoubtedly received considerable
quantities of the furs and peltries sold by them from the
same hunting grounds, yet it is believed that the bulk of
