	Chapter VI: Burial and Mourning Ceremonies
		In most respects the Melville and Bathurst people are closely allied to those inhabiting the Coburg Peninsula and the country south of this along the Alligator Rivers, and the existence of these remarkable burial and mourning ceremonies on the two islands is very difficult to understand.
		On Bathurst Island, during a similar ceremony, the women stood to one side and, at intervals, while the men were running round, they passed across and back again on the side of the grave opposite to that on which the men were standing.
		The women during the ceremony on Melville Island, which was concerned with a dead lubra, had the upper halves of their bodies painted red and the lower yellow, the leading one, a comparatively young girl and sister of the dead woman, had, in addition, the whole upper half of her face painted black.

	Arctic: Summer and autumn movements and habitat use by belugas in the Canadian high Arctic and adjacent areas
		Waters east and southeast of Coburg Island and along eastern Ellesmere Island are somewhat shallower, varying between 100 and 400 m.
		This project, which involved radio-tracking an additional 21 belugas tagged in Somerset Island estuaries in July and in Croker Bay, Devon Island, in September, adds to the Smith and Martin results and offers new insights on habitat use by documenting the belugas' movements over a longer period of time.
		Thousands of belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) are known to spend July and August in the waters surrounding Somerset Island in the Canadian High Arctic (Finley and Johnson, 1977; Koski and Davis, 1979, 1980).
