Provinces, four in Ontario, and two each in Saskatchewan and Alberta. 
The time signals for longitude were exchanged with the Observatory 
except in the case of the four western stations, the basal point for which 
was a small transit house erected on Fort Osborne barrack ground, 
Winnipeg. To determine the longitude of this station, time signals 
have been exchanged between it and the Observatory this summer. 
Other western stations are now being observed at. 
The International Boundary Surveys have made considerable 
progress. Two hundred and fifty miles, or thereabouts, of the 141st 
meridian, from the St. Elias Alps to and across Yukon River, are prac- 
tically completed, and active operations are in progress in the projection 
of the line north of this towards the Porcupine. The survey of that part 
of the boundary of the Alaska Coast Strip, which was dealt with by the 
agreement of 1905, has been completed, and the survey of the remainder 
of this boundary is approaching completion. The survey of water 
boundary along the Straits of Georgia and Fuca was undertaken last 
year, and is nearly finished. 
On the re-survey of the 49th parallel, eastward from the Rocky 
Mountains, it is anticipated that by the close of the present surveying 
season 700 miles will have been completed. The re-survey of the 
boundary between New Brunswick and Maine, following the River St. 
John, is in progress, as well as the survey of the St. Croix River, also 
a boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. 
The treaty of 1908, under which these boundary surveys along the 
southern boundary of Canada are made, left the boundary line undefined 
for a short distance in Passamaquoddy Bay. 
This piece has been covered by another treaty recently entered into, 
which finally defines the line there. 
The operations of the Geodetic Survey have comprised measure- 
ments of angles of the triangulation in Ontario and Quebec and at the 
Bay of Fundy. Reconnaissance for triangulation has been carried on in 
the western peninsula of Ontario and in the Maritime Provinces. Pre- 
cise levelling was performed last year in New Brunswick, Quebec and 
Ontario by two parties. This year three of these parties are in the field 
in the Maritime Provinces, in Ontario and in Manitoba. A base line has 
been measured with invar tapes near Coteau Junction, Que.
