Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Caribou
In describing the genus Rangifer, European naturalists have until recently held that there was but one species with a circum polar distribution. Lately, however, they have partly yielded to the American view, and admitted the existence of either two or three distinct species. In the former case they identify the old' world reindeer with the Barren Ground Caribou, to which indeed it is closely allied. Judge Caton made a very serious error in identifying the reindeer with our Woodland Caribou.
