DIVISION OF PALAEONTOLOGY (Geological Survey) 
E. M. Kindle, Chief of the Division, reports: 
Collections 
Collections made by C. M. Sternberg from Peace River valley near 
the Alberta and British Columbia boundary, include a large number of 
Cretaceous dinosaur tracks of exceptional interest. These range in length 
from 5 inches to 25| inches and are considered to represent eight species. 
Two Ichthyosaur specimens were also secured from Peace River Jurassic 
sediments by Mr. Sternberg. 
Collections from various parts of Canada by members of the staff 
have added to previous knowledge concerning the distribution of fossil 
faunas. 
Additions to the lithologic collections include concretions collected by 
C. E. Cairnes in British Columbia and three samples of bentonite from 
the Trenton in New York state and at Coldwater, Simcoe county, Ontario. 
Visiting Scientists 
The palaeontological collections of the Museum have led various 
scientists to spend short periods of study in the Museum during the year. 
Among these are Dr. E. 0. Ulrich and Dr. J. B. Mertie of the U.S. Geo- 
logical Survey. Dr. A. F. Foerste of Dayton, Ohio, came to the Museum 
to see certain Cephalopod types. Dr. C. Teichert of Germany spent some 
weeks studying the cephalopod types of the Museum. Dr. R. S. Lull, 
Director of the Peabody Museum at Yale, devoted some days to studying 
the dinosaur collections of the Museum. Photographs were supplied Dr. 
Teichert and Dr. Lull of many of the fossils with which their studies were 
concerned. 
Museum Exhibits 
A number of new exhibition cases were installed late in the year, which 
when filled will considerably increase the instructive value of the fossil 
collections on exhibition. 
Vertebrate fossils that have been prepared for exhibition during the 
year include a skull of Corythosaurus, three turtles, and other material. 
A Teleoceras skeleton and five models of Devonian fish have been 
obtained from the Peabody Museum by exchange. Five slabs of fossil 
fishes from the Green River shales of Wyoming have been acquired for the 
exhibit series. 
Educational Collections 
During the year one hundred sets of fossils were assembled for the 
instruction of students in the secondary schools. A museum recently 
established at Perth, Ontario, was supplied with a stratigraphic series of 
fossils. A set of thirty-six species of fossil plants was furnished to the 
University of Montreal.
