seven plates with their two hundred odd figures leaves little to be 
desired. Why should not some enterprising British Field-clubs 
emulate this excellent example of a small university field club and 
give us similar detailed monographs of interesting British deposits ? 
We are indeed behind the times. Wrtttam G, Frearnsives. 
GroLoeicaL Survey oF Canapa. By Roserr Bett, 1.8.0., M D., 
F.R.S., ete., Acting Director. Annual Report (New Series), 
Volume XIV, Reports A, B, F, H, J, M, 0,8, 1901. 8vo; with 
maps. (Ottawa: 8. E. Dawson, 1905.) 
f{\HE Summary Report (A) of this volume (271 pp.) is for the year 
1901; it consists, as usual, of a synopsis of the work done by 
the field staff, as well as the Museum and office staff. A brief account 
is given, under the head of ‘ Officers’ Reports,” of explorations and 
surveys carried on in all parts of the Dominion, from Yukon in the 
west to Cape Breton Island in the east. The bare enumeration of all 
the districts visited by the staff would occupy a considerable space, as 
there are upwards of thirty. These reports will be reviewed when 
they are published separately and am extenso. One exception may, 
however, be made. Mr. Lawrence M. Lambe gives descriptive notes 
on some interesting turtle remains collected during the Summer of 
1901 (?) in the Cretaceous rocks of Red Deer River, Alberta. These 
are referred by Mr. Lambe to Zrionyx jfoveatus, Leidy, and 7. .vagans, 
Cope. The fossils consist of almost complete carapaces of these 
species, and they supplement in an interesting manner the material 
obtained in former years. 
Report B (R. G. McConnell on the Klondike Gold Fields) ; 
Report J (KR. W. Ells on the geology of « portion of Eastern Ontario) ; 
and Report O (F. D. Adams and Osmond E, Leroy on the artesian 
and other deep wells on the Island of Montreal), have already been 
reviewed in the GrotogtcaL Macazryr in 1906. 
Report F is a short report by Mr. D. B. Dowling on an exploration 
of Ekwan River, Sutton Mill Lakes, and part of the west coast of 
James Bay, with two appendices. The formations observed in the 
district were: (1) the Cambrian rocks of Sutton Mill Lakes; (2) the 
Silurian limestone bordering the west shore of James Bay and the 
south shore of Hudson Bay; and (3) the clays, of Post-Tertiary age, 
which form the general covering over nearly all the country left by 
the ancient glacier and the retreating ocean. The appendices consist 
of a preliminary list of fossils from the Silurian (Upper Silurian) of the 
Ekwan River and Sutton Mill Lakes, Keewatin, collected by the 
author in 1901, and afterwards described in full in ‘ Paleozoic 
Fossils,’ vol. iii, part 4, 1906, by Dr. J. F. Whiteaves, and a list of 
41 species of plants, by Professor John Macoun. ‘The report is 
illustrated from photographs and original drawings. 
Report H is on the origin, geological relations, and composition of 
the nickel and copper deposits of the Sudbury Mining District, Ontario, 
by Dr. Alfred Ernest Barlow. Much importance must be attached to 
this memoir, both from its scientific interest and from the great value 
of the deposits of nickel so fully described in it. As the report covers
