DIVISION OF PALAEONTOLOGY (Geological Survey) 
E. M. Kindle, Chief of the Division, reports: 
Office Work 
Mr. C. M. Sternberg made good progress with the preparation of 
a catalogue of the types in the vertebrate collections and has completed 
a manuscript on the Carboniferous footprints in the Museum. Miss A. E. 
Wilson has contributed work on the catalogue of type invertebrate fossils 
and has with the assistance of Mr. A. LaRocque completed one of the 
new table case exhibits. Miss M. Fritz, of the University of Toronto, 
has submitted a report on “The Permian Bryozoa of Vancouver Island”. 
Dr. Roy L. Moodie reports that his manuscript on the “Palseopathology 
of Canadian Dinosaurs” is nearly completed. The manuscript on the 
Devonian coral faunas of the southern part of Mackenzie River valley, 
by Professor Stanley Smith of Bristol, England, is approaching completion. 
Work by E. M. Kindle on the Bibliographic Index of North American 
Devonian fossils has been in progress throughout the year. The section 
on the Crinoidea has been completed and collaborators have made good 
progress with other sections. The planning and installation of new 
Museum exhibits have occupied considerable time. 
Museum Exhibits 
A large collection of Cretaceous dinosaur tracks representing eight 
species, from Peace River canyon, Alberta, has been placed on exhibition. 
New mounts of Palaeozoic footprints w T ere prepared and the collection 
of Carboniferous tracks re-arranged. A new case of mammals, including 
a collection of Pleistocene vertebrates from the Klondike placer deposits, 
with mammoth, camel, and other extinct vertebrates, "was completed. 
An exhibit of fossil fishes representing chiefly the best known Canadian 
horizons of these vertebrates has been installed. Restorations of some 
of the Upper Devonian Gaspe fishes by Mr. L. S. Russell and a water 
colour picture of the noted locality for these fishes at Maguasha, Que., 
by Mr. Arthur Miles, add to the interest of this exhibit. 
Educational Work 
Loans of small collections of fossils to illustrate classroom work have 
been made to city schools when requested. A series of motion picture 
reels showing the various stages of collecting, transporting, mounting, 
and exhibiting large vertebrate fossils, as well as life-like restorations of 
the daily life of dinosaurs in Cretaceous times, has, through co-operation 
with the moving picture Bureau, been revised during the year. 
Visiting Scientists 
The exhibit and reference collections, which include fossils from 
nearly every section of Canada, are available for study by Canadian and 
foreign palaeontologists who may wish to visit the Museum in connexion 
with research problems. Among the palaeontologists who have visited
