oe geological observations, the significance of many of which appears as the

Dr. D. D. Owen, in his “ Geology of Wisconsin, lowa and Minnesota’

Prof. F. B. Meek, in a paper entitled “Sketch of the Gusloe gy and 
Palxontology of the Valley of the Mackenzie River,” published in the 
first volume ‘of the transactions of the Chicago Academy of Sciences 
(1868), describes a number of fossils collected by Mr. Kennicott, and re- 
views the geology of the region. 
Prof. Heer, in his work, “Flora Fossilis Arctica,” gives three plates, 
and descriptions, of fossil plants from the Mackenzie River. 
Mr. Selwyn, director of the Geological Survey of Canada, in the 
Report of Progress, for 1873-74, gives the results of a preliminary
