Grizzly Bears, Ursus arctos, in Wapusk National Park, northeastern Manitoba. Canadian Field-Naturalist 122(4): 323-326. We report on nine sightings of Grizzly Bears ( Ursus arctos ) in northeastern Manitoba in what is now Wapusk National Park. Although biological research in the region has been conducted regularly since 1965, all sightings have been made since 1996. The Grizzly Bears were seen either along rivers known to harbor fish or in an area known for berries . Key Words: Grizzly Bear, Ursus arctos , Wapusk National Park, Manitoba, Canada. Grizzly Bears ( Ursus arctos ) are reported to have been absent from Manitoba historically at least through 1989 (Banfield 1959, 1974; Harington et al. 1962; Banci 1991, McLellan And Bianci 1999). Some recent accounts and range maps have included Manitoba in the Grizzly Bear’s regular range (e.g., Schwartz et al. 2003), while others indicate that the regular range ends north of the Manitoba border but list rare, extra-limital observations for at least two sites along the Hudson Bay coast of Manitoba (e.g., Ross 2002*).

Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.

  • Chapter 4. Power with a Name: the Rulers of the March
    210 Power with a Name: the rulers of the March Introduction: ‘public’ power in late-Carolingian Catalonia Ideology: power with a name In the figures of Guifré and Ansulf we have men who held what institutional historians might consider a public authority, delegated from the count as seen in his patronage which gave these men their beneficia or castles. Their authority has titles whose etymology is one of this delegation: the vicarii , local substitutes for the count, and further up, viscounts, deputies for the count; even the counts themselves derived their title from a long-notional companionship with the distant king. These are ideas of power external to the March itself, imported with the Franks, if not, as in a few cases like the vague office of saio or the Code-backed one of judge, with the Visigoths. 1 They are structures which the historian of other areas coming to Catalonia will recognise; and so did the kings, for they appeared in royal documents. 2 They provide a template of administration for the area. 3 All the same one is entitled to ask what it was that they meant, in this local environment where the king was absent. Until 878 at least, the kings of the Franks had chosen the counts of the March, albeit from a decreasing pool of possible candidates. With the council of Troyes in 878 and Guifré the Hairy’s succession with his brother Miró to the 1 See Chapter 2 above, pp. 107-113. 2 E. g. Cat. Car. II ap.

  • Wavell's Breakdown Plan, 1945-47: an Appraisal
    219 Iqbal Chawla: Wavell’s Plan Wavell’s Breakdown Plan, 1945-47: an Appraisal Iqbal Chawla University of the Punjab, Lahore ________________________________________________________________ The Breakdown Plan was prepared by Lord Wavell and his closest circle of advisors to deal with the fast evolving political situation in India. Two main political tendencies had crystallized in post-War India: Keeping India as one geographic entity; the second one was diametrically opposed to it, espoused by the Muslims, who wanted an independent Muslim-majority state. Wavell’s BP was formulated with two main goals in mind: Firstly, a safe withdrawal of the British from India; secondly, to avoid a partition of India by attempting to maintain it as one geographic entity. For the first goal Wavell suggested a ‘phased withdrawal’ from India, which would be initiated from the Hindu-majority provinces of the south. The second goal was to be achieved by proposing a partition of both the Punjab and Bengal, as a bargaining tool with the Muslim League to deter from pursuing its agenda of a separate Muslim-majority homeland on religious grounds. Although Wavell’s overall plan was rejected by the HMG in London, parts of it were, however, incorporated in the final withdrawal plan laid down by Mountbatten, Wavell’s successor, in his June 3 Plan. This included the partitioning of both the Bengal and the Punjab thus dealing a blow to Muslim interests in both those provinces. This article tries to detail the overall BP and its implications for the Muslims, particularly, as it ended up shaping the future course of the history of the Punjab.

  • Update on Polar Bear Research in the Viscount Melville Sound/North Beaufort Polar Bear Subpopulations Spring 2012
    Update on Polar Bear research in the Viscount Melville Sound/North Beaufort Polar Bear Subpopulations Spring 2012. This was the first year of a three year mark-recapture program to estimate the current population size of the Viscount Melville Polar Bear Subpopulation. To examine movement patterns and population boundaries, we deployed 14 GPS satellite collars in the Viscount Melville Subpopulation and 15 collars in the North Beaufort Subpopulation; of the latter 15, 5 were deployed north of Norway Island and 10 in the area from Prince of Whales Strait to the mainland. Two field crews were used to conduct research. One field crew worked out of Ulukhaktok. This crew consisted of Andrew Derocher (University of Alberta), Patrick Mislan(University of Alberta), and Kenneth Ehaloak (Ulukhaktok). The second field crew worked from 5 base camps. Three base camps were polar bear cabins located at Wynniatt Bay on Victoria Island, Cape Providence on Melville Island, and near Castel Bay in Aulavik National Park on Banks Island. The two other camps were temporary base camps located at Mould Bay on Prince Patrick Island and Nias Point on Melville Island. The second field crew consisted of a Helicopter pilot (Benedikt Seguro), a helicopter engineer (Scott Hauser) (required due to hrs flown), a research assistant from the community of Ulukhaktok (Peter Ross Klengenberg), Evan Richardson (Environment Canada), and Jodie Pongracz (ENR Inuvik). Research commenced on April 21, 2012 in Wynniatt Bay, Victoria Island and was completed on May 31, 2012 at Polar Bear Cabin on Banks Island. A total of 110 hours were flown in an ASTAR (including ferrying to/from Inuvik).
