There are three categories. Wildlife Research is licensed by the Department of Renewable Resources, J Archaeology is licensed by the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre and all other research is licensed by the Science Advisor under the Scientists Act. A description of the procedures is J appended to the Index. l During the 1985 calendar year 260 li'cences to carry out scientific research were issued to scientists. Ninety-four 1985 licences were 1 issued to scientists directly affiliated with educational institutions. Of these 94 licences, 79 were issued to scientists from Canadian universities, 13 to scientists from U.S. universities, and 2 to scientists from other foreign universities.
