PROCEEDINGS OF BALTIMORE MEETING. 



British Columbia and of the Geological Survey of Canada he remained 

 more or less continuous)}^ during the remainder of his life. 



In 1885 he was intrusted with the survey and investigation of the well 

 known placer-mining region of Cariboo, British Columbia, which com- 

 prises an area of some 4,000 square miles. The result of his work forms 

 a report addressed to Dr Selwyn, the Director of the Canadian Survey, 

 and was published as volume iii of the new series. He is reputed to 

 have introduced the cable-car system in San Francisco. 



Early in his travels he was impressed with the location of Fidalgo 

 island and took his family there in 1877. He was the founder of Ana- 

 cortes, called after his wife, Anna Curtis, whom he married in April, 1871. 

 Mrs Bowman survives her husband, who leaves behind him four chil- 

 dren, a daughter and three sons. 



He was of an affable and generous disposition, an enthusiast in every- 

 thing he undertook, not always to his advantage, and unfortunately died 

 before seeing many of his schemes realized. 



I am indebted to Dr G. M. Dawson, to Dr A. C. Lawson, to Mr James 

 White and to the widow of our late Fellow for information contained in 

 this brief notice of his life and writings.
