Milk was obtained from an Arctic wolf which was captured on Axel Heiberg Island, Northwest Territories, in 1961 and held in captivity for 5 years before the collection of the sample, and from two huskies. The gross composition of the milks and the fatty acid constitution of the milk fats were determined.

Wolves from the Yukon and Northwest Territories harbored the following gastrointestinal helminths: Alaria americana (10 of 171), A. arisaemoides (2/171), Diphyllobothrium sp, (1/171). Mesocestoidcs kirbyi (3/171), Taenia hydatigena (54/111), T. krabbei (63/111), T. pisiformis (2/111), T. serialis (41/111), Echinococcus granulosus (24/171), Toxascaris leonina (83/171). Uncinaria stenocephala (11/171), Spirocerca arctica (1/171), and S. lupi (1/171). Larval Trichinella spiralis occurred in 72 of 153 diaphragms. A. arisaemoides, M. kirbyi, and S. arctica were found for the first time in Canis lupus, while S. lupi, S. arctica, and the prevalence of T. spiralis in wolves are reported for the first time in Canada.

Two types of helicosporous fungal spores were recovered from a sample from the Iceberg Bay Formation, Eureka Sound Group, at Strand Fiord, Axel Heiberg Island. These spores appear to be identical to those produced by the Recent genera Helicoön, Helicodendron, and Helicosporium. The associated pollen flora indicates an Early Eocene age for the sample and interval from which it was collected. The pollen and spores suggest that swamp forest vegetation, dominated by trees of Taxodiaceae–Cupressaceae and growing in a temperate climate, was present at or close to the site of deposition.

Milk was collected from nine dall sheep which were killed either in the Yukon or the Northwest Territories. The stage of lactation of the animals ranged from 10 days prepartum to 24 weeks postpartum. The gross composition and the fatty acid and the mineral constitution of the dall sheep milk were determined.
