Bibliographical Reference: Percy Cox; C. T. Dalgety; H. R. Mill ‘An Expedition to Melville Bay and North-East Baffin Land: Discussion’ in The Geographical Journal Vol. 86, No. 4 (Oct., 1935), pp. 313-316. [JD 20/10/2006].

Photographer: Note in above article, page 313, accredits all photographs to M.H.W. Ritchie unless otherwise stated. However, as the majority of the prints in A.149.PAT are copy prints and appear to show Clyde Post over the seasons, it is possible that the images are from another expedition and compiled by Paterson into this album on Clyde Post. Two possible expeditions are Thomas Paterson’s expedition to Pelly Bay in 1947, or the Arctic Institute of North America’s Baffin Island Expedition 1950 led by Patrick Baird (See The Baffin Island Expedition, 1950, by P. D. Baird, in The Geographical Journal (Sept 1952, Vol. 24, No 1) pp. 47-59. Available on www.jstor.org) [JD 15/11/2006]

P.88490.PAT to P.88574.PAT were found in the album now numbered A.149.PAT.
