Excerpt from Birds of Labrador
We brought back 58 skins we had prepared and 20 skins we obtained from the Eskimos.
We gathered as much information as possible about the bird life from the natives, from Dr. Grenfell's assistants, and from the Moravians. Through the latter at Hopedale we obtained most Of the skins made by the Eskimos. TO Brother Schmitt at Nain we are greatly indebted for many interesting notes of arrival Of birds and nesting dates. Although we were so unfortunate as to miss meeting Dr. W. T. Grenfell in Labrador, we are greatly indebted to him for his kind Offers of assistance and hospitality, and for valuable informa tion he has since given us in Boston.
