Minister and Director of the Geological Survey. William Mclnnes 
(Fig. 4) was appointed “Directing Geologist” in 1915. In 1920 
Dr. Mclnnes became Director of the Victoria Memorial Museum, 
and W. H. Collins (Fig. 5) assumed directorship of the Geo- 
logical Survey. Thus the Museum as a separate organization, at 
least in theory, dates from that year. In fact the administration of 
the two Branches continued to be inextricably combined. On the 
Fig. 4, WiUiam Mclnnes (1858-1925). First Director of the Victoria Memorial 
Museum, afterwards the National Museum of Canada, 1920-1925.
