supplant the existing map was commenced. Present planning includes extensive 

 revision of internal detail, the showing of the "hill shading" effect and to produce 

 a limited number of copies on a durable waterproof plastic impregnated paper. 



Planning and designing a map folder showing the "Summary of Ontario 

 Hunting Regulations 1964" was undertaken for the Wildlife Section of the Fish 

 and Wildlife Branch. This map folder will be increased in size, contain map areas 

 showing moose, deer and small game distribution and show hunting regulations in 

 text and graphic form. A suitable frontpiece is being designed and it will be 

 lithographed in three colours. 



Preliminary investigation was carried out and a report prepared on the 

 available basic material, methods and tentative costs involved relative to the 

 proposed production of four maps to illustrate glacial geology of Northern Ontario 

 for the Soils Section of Research Branch. 



EDITING OF GEOGRAPHICAL NOMENCLATURE ON MAPS 



Editing of geographical nomenclature to be approved for use on official maps 

 has been carried on in conjunction with the Canadian Permanent Committee on 

 Geographical Names. 



The number of maps and charts in the following categories were examined: 



National Topographic 1:50,000 series 2 



National Topographic 1:250,000 series 4 



National Topographic 1:25,000 series 8 



(Military Town Plan) 

 Canadian Hydrographic Service, Marine Charts 15 



In addition, some 15 maps to be produced by the Ontario Department of Mines 

 and other provincial mapping units were examined. 



Several other groups of subjective nomenclature not related to any particular 

 mapping project were investigated as to origin, status and proper form, prior to 

 making submissions to the Committee for approval. Verification of existing or 

 suggested names for mountain and hill features adjacent to Lake Superior, in the 

 Thunder Bay District; salient parts of the Niagara Escarpment from the Niagara 

 River to the Bruce Peninsula; and names of small water areas of Georgian Bay, 

 Lake Huron and Lake Superior, prior to their acceptance as information to be 

 included in proposed legisaltion concerning small boat anchorages in Ontario was 

 obtained. Nomenclature in the "Canada Air Pilot East" and the "Water Aero- 

 dromes Supplement" compiled by the Surveys and Mapping Branch of the 

 Department of Mines and Technical Surveys for the Department of Transport, 

 Ottawa was edited for correctness of geographical names, within Ontario, as related 

 to airports and seaplane bases. 



Two thousand five hundred (2,500) new entries, including the references to 

 areas indicated in the Preliminary Report on Marine Resources produced by this 

 department in the previous fiscal year, along with seven thousand five hundred 

 (7,500) revisions to existing entries were made to the "Index of Geographical 

 Names in Ontario". Increased activity in matters concerning toponymy is relative 

 to the importance of and greater demand for this type of information.
