bas discovered a race of white Eskimo, is already exciting all schools of ethnologists. No Englishman has been in the Arctic regions where the discovery is said to have been made, so recently as Mr Cosme D. Malvill, F.B.G.S., who has communicated some experiences bearing upon Mr Ste-Melvili, fadnsan's report to The Standard. In the autumn of 1910, when Mr Melvill and Mr John Hornby were hunting caribou be tween the Great Bear Like and the Cop- permine River, in North Canada, they fell in with a hunting party of Europeanis ed Eskimo, and camped with them for two. days." They also met Mr Stefansen, who had followed up directions they had placed in a cache on the Coppermine River, and exchanged notes upon their discoveries.
