NATURALIST 47. YUKON River: Areas as yet not specified; from glacial refugium.48.DoLomMiTrE LaKE-CAMPBELL LAKE AREA:Plants of interest because of diversity of species and because they, as a group, may represent a living relic of a more widespread pioneer late-glacial assemblage.49.Mitts LAKE-Horn River: Old glacial lake bed containing a large shallow lake and marsh, aquatic vegetation, spruce-grass parkland and taiga.50.Fort Simpson: Historic area where there has been agricultural activity over a period of many years.51.Port Raprum: Of interest because of possible effect of natural radio-activity on vegetation.Because of the vast area to be covered and because the distribution of biotic communities in the Yukon and Northwest Territories is vrtually unexplored, and hence little known compared to the provinces, the panel realizes that it may have missed important representative or unique areas; we would welcome suggestions regarding additional potential reserve sites.Biologists who can assist the panel in further description and field studies are urgently needed.Those who can help are asked to contact one of the undersigned cochairman or secretary of the panel.Our panel has a small budget to help pay expenses associated with the preparation and completion of the check sheets.
