	Bacon - History: Queen Elizabeth
		Again, it is no inconsiderable part of Queen Elizabeth's felicity, that the course of her reign was not only long, but fell within that season of her life which is fittest for governing.
		Queen Elizabeth's fortune, on the contrary, was so constant and fixed, that no declension of affairs followed her lively, though declining age; nay, for an assured monument of her felicity, she died not till the rebellion of Ireland ended in a victory, lest her glory should otherwise have appeared any way ruffled or incomplete.
		In such an impending storm of dangers the queen was obliged, by the law of necessity, to restrain such of her subjects as were disaffected and rendered incurable by these poisons, and who in the meantime began to grow rich by retirement and exemption from public offices; and accordingly some severer laws were enacted.

	OBSERVATIONS IN ICELAND AND NORTHWEST EUROPE OF BRANT FROM THE QUEEN ELIZABETH ISLANDS, N.W.T., CANADA
		SUMMARY At least 23 of 289 Brant marked with yellow neck-collars in the Queen Elizabeth Islands, N.W.T., Canada, in July and August 1974 were seen in western Iceland in September 1974, providing the first proof that Brant from the Canadian High Arctic visit Iceland en route to winter quarters in Ireland.
		Extensive ornithological surveys were initiated in the summer of 1973 on those islands in the Canadian High Arctic that are likely to be affected by well drilling and pipeline routes resulting from explorations for natural gas and oil.
		Here it is sufficient to record that 22 of the Brant banded on Mel- ville Island and two of those banded on Prince Patrick Island were shot on the Pacific coast of the U.S.A. in the winter of 1973-74; none of these was very light-bellicd, most being "intermediate" in color.

		Peary Caribou and Muskox Abundance and Distribution on the Western Queen Elizabeth Islands, Northwest Territories and Nunavut June-July 1997.
		The number of carcasses estimated for Bathurst and its satellite islands (408 ± 53 SE) indicates that most of the Peary caribou alive there in summer 1996 died during the third of three exceptionally severe winter/spring periods with twice the long-term average snowfall.
		The 1997 estimate is the lowest recorded for the western Queen Elizabeth Islands since the first aerial survey estimate in 1961 (when the mean estimate equalled 19 456 1+ yr-old Peary caribou) and represents an overall 94% decline in the mean estimated number over 36 years.

	Arctic: Multi-island seasonal home range use by two Peary caribou, Canadian High Arctic Islands, Nunavut, 1993-94 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The High Arctic Islands are subject to prolonged periods of frigid temperatures and frequent strong winds, set in darkness from November to February, and blanketed by snow and ice for 9 - 10 months of each year.
		Most information on their abundance and distribution is based on the larger islands, and the smaller islands are not always even included in aerial surveys.
		However, northern Bathurst Island and the five smaller islands off its northwest coast all lie north of the northern limit of prostrate shrub and sedge dominance, and much of the study area is dominated by herbaceous species (Edlund, 1983, 1990; Edlund and Alt, 1989).
