iy07 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 121 



It rained nearly every day on our way in to the work, so that we made 

 very slow progress. I commenced on July 17th, the survey of the town- 

 ship of Hanna, at the southeast angle, running north from Ontario Land 

 Surveyor, W. Galbraith's base line, and west from the west boundary of the 

 township of St. John. During the survey of this township the weather 

 was decidedlv wet, the prevailing winds being southwesterly. I may say 

 that I read the Act for the Preservation of forests against fire once, but- 

 had no occasion to read it again.
