Regional Geography
Peoples of the World-10
Reindeer Hunters and Herders of the Tundra'
BOSWORTH GOLDMAN
This is the last Regional Geography talk this term, and the last of Mr. ROSWORTH Goldman 's three talks on Siberia. Last week he told you about the Southern Samoyed ; today he is to take you to the extreme north, to that part of Siberia touching the Arctic Ocean, to the portion of the Tundra that lies east of the Obdorsk Mountains.
Here is a flat, cold, desert, treeless plain, with low-growing vegetation. lichens, and moss, frozen for most of the year, and inhabited by the Southern Samoyed and the Tungus people (who originally came from China and whom the Samoyed call Aiya or ' younger brothers ').
The Samoyed and Tungus live in tepees or tents, and are dependent on reindeer for food, drink, and clothes. Their settlements are guarded, and their haulage is done by the snow-white Samoyed dog such as you see in Britain. They are less affected by the Russians, and therefore less civilised, than the Southern Samoyed. They are shy, and avoid the big rivers and places of trade. They have their peculiar habits and customs. The reindeer, on which they depend for survival, they use both as mounts and as pack-animals.

Young birds vary in the way they grow up. Much depends on whether they are active from the first, or whether they remain in the nest until they can fly. Those that are restricted to the confines of a nest are often hatched in an almost naked state, blind and dependent on their parents for food and warmth. More active species that do not stay in the nest are hatched with their eyes open, have a warm covering of down, and, although guided and helped by their parents, search for their own food.
When fully feathered, the young may be coloured and marked like their parents, or like one of them, or they may be unlike either parent. One of the most interesting examples of difference between parents and young is shown by the starling - the young of these dark, glossy-coated birds being pale brown.

Young birds have so many enemies that mortality is very high. Of the vast numbers hatched out, only comparatively few reach maturity. Many are now killed by a new enemy, the motor-car, and towards the end of the summer, when the number of young birds is at its height, the road claims a large toll.

Noble Rollin, who is to give this interesting talk, studies the habits of birds at his research station in Northumberland.

The many' amenities brought into our lives by scientific discoveries have become so much a matter of course that we pay little attention to them-until something goes wrong. Still less do we consider the concentrated effort that has been expended in generations of patient research to provide these amenities.
What a fascinating story, for example, is that of gas, from its first faint flickerings more than a century ago, when the peace of Amiens was made the occasion of the illumination of the Soho foundries, to the position today, when gas provides efficient light for our rooms, cooks our meals, contributes towards the solution of the smoke-problem in cities, and provides us with by-products essential to many important industries, and tq the comforts of our daily lives.
Storage, purification, transport, measurement : think of the problems involved in the supply of gas to such cities as London and Manchester-problems solved so quietly and efficiently that we, as consumers, hardly give them a thought.
