To ROBERT BELL, M.D., Sc.D., F.R.S., ETC., 



Director Geological Survey of Canada. 



SIR, I have the honour to submit herewith my report on the special 

 work, undertaken at the instance of the late Director of the Survey, 

 on the Cambrian area in Cape Breton, N.S. This work, begun in 1899, 

 has been delayed by the shortness of time at my disposal for investi- 

 gation each year, making it necessary for me to revisit the island to 

 complete necessary observations. 



I am, sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



G. F. MATTHEW. 



C R.
