Progress of Geological Work in Canada 

 DURING 1899. 



By H. M. Ami, M.A., D.Sc, F.G.S., 

 of the Geological Survey of Canada. 



INTEODUCTORY NOTE. 



The following synopsis of geological work in Canada for 

 the year 1899 has been prepared with a view of furnishing 

 students of geology in Canada with as complete a list of 

 the writings of those engaged in geological work as pos- 

 sible. It comprises, besides general geological writings 

 bearing upon questions of stratigraphy, and nomenclature, 

 the titles of papers upon other branches of geological work. 

 These include writings on palaeontology, on mining and 

 kindred subjects. It is one of the difficulties against 

 which geologists in a young country like Canada have to 

 contend, namely, that there is practically no complete bib- 

 liography of Canadian geology available. For a number 

 of years past the writer has attempted to bring together 

 in the form of a card catalogue the writings concerning 

 Canadian geology, published both in Canada and elsewhere. 

 He will be under extreme obligations to the contributors 

 of that science who will kindly forward him such titles of
