page 405 note 1 Pravda of 11 February 1960 reported that “in the last six years about 1½ million reindeer in the collective farms died, were killed by predators and were lost without trace”. This was ascribed to the fact that “inadequate measures were taken to raise the herder's material interest in the herd, to improve the material and technical basis of reindeer husbandry, and to rationalize use of pastures”.—Ed.

page 406 note 1 This appears to mean the proportion of live cows and calves remaining with the herds. Not all losses are necessarily deaths, as the last sentence of the paragraph makes clear. Ed.
