Office Work 
A. E. Wilson has continued work on the card catalogue of invertebrate 
fossils. C. M. Sternberg has extended the work of preparing a card 
catalogue on the vertebrate type fossils, and prepared several labels for the 
exhibits. 
Palaeontological papers have been prepared and published by F. H. 
McLearn, A. E. Wilson, and C. M. Sternberg as shown by the list in this 
report. Four reports on fossil plants for members of the Geological Survey 
staff have been prepared by W. A. Bell. L. S. Russell has completed a 
revision of the Lower Oligocene mammals of the Cypress Hills formation. 
He has also described the Upper Eocene mammals from the Swiftcurrent 
beds and made brief visits for comparative study of mammals to the 
American Museum and Princeton University Museum. 
Museum Exhibits 
Work has been continued on the new systematic exhibit of inverte- 
brates by A. E. Wilson. The notable contribution of G. Ensell in the 
shape of glass restorations of sponge spicules, hvdrozoa, and radiolaria has 
added much to the interest of one of the cases in this exhibit. An exhibit 
displaying the succession of faunas from Middle Cretaceous time to the 
present and the successive formations in which they are preserved in the 
Great Plains region, together with the more important geological changes 
North America has undergone since early Cretaceous time, has been 
completed. Several of the larger mounts have been veneered and a large 
mastodon skull has been remounted. Among the additions to the vertebrate 
mounts in the Museum is a skull of Ram-nosed Mosasaur. 
Educational Work 
During the year fifty sets of fossils were supplied for the use of 
teachers in High Schools. A collection of fossils for use in teaching geology 
was sent the Mount Allison Univeristy to replace collections destroyed by 
fire. A collection of fossils was also supplied to the Prince of Wales College 
and Normal School at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. 
Facilities for study of special collections have been extended to various 
foreign scientists. Dr. T. Kobayashi of Japan made a short visit to the 
Museum for study purposes.
