URING the last decade there has been an increasing interest in marine biological research in the Canadian North. We have been able to take part in this development, Wilce being mainly concerned with algal distri- bution and ecology in Labrador and Ellis with marine animals of the Cana- dian Arctic Archipelago. We noticed independently during our expeditions that intertidal animals and plants maintain patterns of vertical distribution, and in many places definite zones can be recognized. Our experiences have been pooled in this paper to describe some aspects of zonation on northern
