The regional lake survey for central Baffin Island (NTS 37A) was conducted during the summer of 1978.
This report presents analytical and statistical data for 11 elements in stream sediments from XX XX sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 13 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
