content: Ilus. p. 247 in Turner, Lucien M., Scott A. Heyes, and K. M. Helgen. 2014. Mammals of Ungava & Labrador: the 1882-1884 fieldnotes of Lucien M. Turner together with Inuit and Innu knowledge. Identified there: "Sealskin float used for walrus hunting. Floats made from the inflated skin of seals were tied to harpoons by Inuit hunters. The floats make it easier to retrieve walrus and seals when hunted, which tended to sink when harpooned. This float was collected by Turner at Ft. Chimo, probably in 1883."
