XXVI ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
and articles from encyclopedias, periodicals and proceedings of learned 
societies, are placed under the colonies to which they refer. Canadian 
authors are fairly well represented in this well-stocked library. In the 
fifty large octavo pages the titles of their works take up, we see the 
names of Robert Bell. J. G. Bourinot, G. Bryce, Æneas Dawson, G. M. 
Dawson, Sir J. W. Dawson, G. T. Denison, 8. Fleming, N. F. Davin, 
S. E. Dawson, E. Gilpin, G. M. Grant, T. C. Haliburton (“Sam Slick”), 
A. Harvey, Sir F. Hincks, J. Howe, J. Hannay, J. M. LeMoine, Lady 
Macdonald, J. Macoun, A. Morris, G. Parker, G. Patterson, D. B. 
Read, C. G. D. Roberts, H. Scadding, J. Schultz, G. Stewart, Sir D. 
Wilson, and a few others who have contributed pamphlets and works of 
less note. Canadian authors and others would do good service by send- 
ing copies of books to a library which is most useful to all colonial 
dependencies and the students of their history and resources. Mr. 
Bossé, the librarian, who has compiled this catalogue with so much 
industry and intelligence, is an earnest student of colonial questions, 
always ready to assist those who require to make researches in this 
library. 
14. RoyaL Society BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
The previous paragraph recalls the fact that the Royal Society of 
Canada is also doing useful work in the same direction. In the twelfth 
volume of the Transactions, there will appear a bibliography of the 
members of the society. This compilation will be exceptionably valuable 
since it will cover the scientific and literary works of men like Sir J. W. 
Dawson, Abbé Casgrain, Evan McColl, Abbé Gosselin, W. Kirby, Mgr. 
Tanguay, Abbé Verreau, H. Hale, Rev. Moses Harvey, Rev. G. Patterson, 
Dr. Kingsford, S. Fleming, Mgr. Hamel, Abbé Laflamme, Dr. Selwyn, 
Rev. Dr. Williamson, Dr. G. Lawson and some others who have been 
earnest workers in the world of science and literature for the past forty 
years. In addition to the bibliography of these old workers, there are 
some seventy and more names of the younger literary and scientific men 
of Canada. Practically the collection covers the most important and 
scientific and literary work that has been done in Canada for the most 
active period, so far, of its intellectual development. As the work in- 
cludes all important articles that have been written by Canadian authors 
in periodicals, as well as pamphlets and books, it will be seen that it is a 
most important contribution to bibliographical literature, and invaluable 
as a work of reference. 
15. THE ARCHIVES OF CANADA. 
In this bibliography of the Royal Society there also appears an ex- 
cellent summary of the work done in the dominion department of Arch- 
ives up to the present time, under the direction of Dr. Brymner, in the 
form of an analysis of the contents of each of its reports since the
