The musk-ox, white fox, caribou and polar bear are shown as typical mammals of this faunal zone; had there been space. Seal and walrus might well have been included. The habitat picture at the lower left shows Arctic tundra in the granite country near coronation guli, and that at the lower right is typical of the arctic coast of the Yukon Territory; both were taken in the summer season.
