THE ENTOMOLOGY OF PRINCE ALBERT NATIONAL PARK, SASKATCHEWAN

Extract
Last September, my wife and I visited the Prince Albert National Park, particularly to see Grey Owl and Anahareo and the beavers at Ajawaan Lake. The country was entirely new to me, and I found very much of interest. Saskatchewan is divided into two very different parts. The southern half has some large lakes, but is essentially a prairie region, where vast quantities of wheat are grown. As we crossed a portion of it travelling from Calgary to Saskatoon, the landscape was monotonous and not very interesting. But the northern half of the province is in complete ccntrast. It is a land of dense forests, with innumerable lakes, large and small. These lakes are warm enough in summer to be the delight of innumerable bathers, but covered with thick ice all winter. This region is in the Canadian zone, whereas the prairie region belongs to the Transition. In the northern (especially north eastern) part of the province is a large area in the Hudsonian zone, sufficiently distinct in aspect to be easily recognised from an aeroplane, I was informed.
