analyses of natrolite and prehnite from the granite dykes occurring in the 
peridotite of Thetford Mines; and completed the analyses of a limestone 
from Ainslie Lake, N.S., and of three rocks supplied by T. T. Quirke from 
Parry Sound district, Ont. Mr. Fabry also did some research work for 
Mr. Taverner, to determine whether the colour of certain bird feathers 
was original or of the nature of a stain. 
Educational Collections 
The educational section of the Mineralogical Division was equally as 
busy as the other sections and the magnitude of the work is illustrated by 
the following table, which shows that 379 collections were shipped to 
various institutions. Of these, each Standard collection contains 144 speci- 
mens, Grade 2 contains 44 specimens, Grade 3 contains 40 specimens, 
Grade 4, a special collection prepared for the Department of Mines, Quebec, 
contains 40 specimens, Prospectors collection contains 16 specimens, 
miscellaneous or special collections vary from a few to more than 100 
specimens, and each mineral chips collection contains 46 bags of minerals. 
Thus 11,835 specimens, having a total weight of 27,400 pounds, were 
distributed.
