the detailed and valuable work of F. D. Mulholland, of the
Land Settlement Board of British Columbia, is acknowledged.

The section on Meteorology was prepared by A. J.
Connor, of the Meteorological Division of the Department
of Transport.

In the preparation of the section dealing with Fisheries
much assistance was given by D. H. Sutherland, Assistant
Deputy Minister of the Department of Fisheries. The
discussion of Inland Fisheries is in large part drawn from
the reports of Professor V. C. Wynne-Edwards, Dr. D. S.
Rawson, and Professor R. B. Miller, included in the
bulletin of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada entitled
North West Canadian Fisheries Surveys 1944-45, and from
the conclusions of Dr. J. R. Dymond embodied in that
report. The reports of the British Columbia Department
of Fisheries have been drawn on in the discussion of the
sea fisheries of the North Pacific as well as the early work
carried out by the United States Section of the North
Pacific Planning Project. Statistical data have also been
obtained from the files of the Canadian Fisherman and the
Pacific Coast Fisherman.

In the extensive section on Transportation, the co-
operation of the Department of Transport is acknowledged.

Thanks are due to C. J. Rogers, President and General
Manager of the White Pass and Yukon Route, for notes
on the operation of that system and for his courtesy in
reviewing the section on rail and inland water transportation
in Yukon. Valuable information was received from Major
J. L. Charles, Chief Engineer of the Western Region of the
Canadian National Railways, and from the notes of his
predecessor, the late E. M. M. Hill.

Statistical data have been drawn from the records of
the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

The preliminary work of the United States Section
of the North Pacific Planning Project has been most helpful,
and some of the data developed in their early studies
have been incorporated.

In the editing of large sections of the work, the good
offices of K. M. Ralston, Mining Engineer, Canadian
National Railways, and J. J. Higgins, of the Engineering
Department of that Company, are gratefully acknowledged.

For the final editing and supervision of the printing
of the report, we are indebted to A. J. Baxter, Chief of

the Editorial and Information Section of the Department
of Mines and Resources.
