CONCLUSION. 



We have thus met most of the problems of 

 our surface geology. It is by thought and 

 discussion that we reach the truth in such 

 matters. To my own mind the glacier theory of 

 a drift seems absolutely conclusi ve, though 

 it is possible our applications of it to explain 

 certain phenomena may need further modi 

 fication. I have to express my indebtedness to 

 our Canadian geologists, but especially toMr. 

 Warren Upham, for working out so completely 



our surface geology, the antecedent of the 

 present state of things. We arewonderstruck 

 at the magnitude of the forces which brought 

 this about and say with Dr. Geikie : " Thus 

 as imperceptibly as it began the long and 

 varied ice age came to an end as it merged 

 into the present geological period." 



At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of 

 thanks was tendered Dr. Bryce for the san.e, 

 t)n motion of Rev. Prof. Hart, seconded by 

 U. S Consul Taylor. Interesting remarks 

 on the theory and facts presented were made 

 by the mover and seconder, and also by 

 Messrs. W. G. Fonseca, Dr. Laird, of Wes- 

 ley College, Mr. F. H. Turnock and others ; 

 and the lecturer kindly answered several ques- 

 tions proposed.
