  RESEARCHES

  Each 
  year 
  the 
  Institution 
  sends 
  out, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  its 
  limited 
  funds 
  

   permit, 
  expeditions 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  exploring 
  scientifically 
  little- 
  

   known 
  regions 
  of 
  the 
  earth, 
  or 
  to 
  conduct 
  needed 
  field 
  work 
  in 
  more 
  

   familiar 
  localities, 
  thus 
  furthering 
  one 
  of 
  its 
  principal 
  objects, 
  

   the 
  "increase 
  of 
  knowledge." 
  It 
  is 
  also 
  able 
  to 
  cooperate 
  advan- 
  

   tageously 
  with 
  other 
  institutions 
  by 
  contributing 
  members 
  of 
  its 
  

   scientific 
  staff 
  to 
  expeditions 
  already 
  organized 
  and 
  financed. 
  The 
  

   results 
  of 
  the 
  more 
  noteworthy 
  of 
  these 
  expeditions 
  are 
  here 
  de- 
  

   scribed 
  briefly, 
  and 
  the 
  field 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  

   Institution 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  appendixes

  GEOLOGICAL 
  EXPLORATIONS 
  IN 
  THE 
  CANADIAN 
  ROCKIES. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  summer 
  and 
  early 
  fall 
  of 
  1921 
  your 
  secretary 
  carried 
  

   on 
  geological 
  field 
  work 
  in 
  the 
  Canadian 
  Eocky 
  Mountains 
  in 
  con- 
  

   tinuation 
  of 
  previous 
  years' 
  work 
  in 
  this 
  region. 
  His 
  objects 
  were 
  

   to 
  secure 
  data 
  on 
  the 
  pre-Devonian 
  strata 
  of 
  the 
  Sawback 
  Range
