DIVISION OF MINERALOGY (Geological Survey) 
Eugene Poitevin, Chief of the Division, reports as follows: 
Field Work 
A. T. McKinnon spent almost two months in the provinces of Ontario, 
Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia where he collected 14^ tons of 
minerals and rocks needed for the preparation of collections for prospect- 
ors and educational institutions. 
Laboratory 
This year, as usual, a large number of minerals and rocks were 
examined by E. Poitevin and H. V. Ellsworth. About four hundred 
memoranda were sent through the Director of the Geological Survey. 
These do not include verbal reports given to the many visitors who 
consulted them. Altogether about three thousand specimens were examined 
for prospectors, officials of the Department of Mines, and others interested 
in the mining industry. 
Eugene Poitevin completed the mineralogical study of a collection of 
zeolites occurring in the serpentine belt of Megantic County, Quebec, and 
the study of several varieties of serpentine from the same district. He 
also studied a large number of topaz-bearing rocks occurring near 
Welsford, New Brunswick, and the results will be published in the 
Summary Report of the Geological Survey for 1932. 
H. V. Ellsworth collaborated in the routine work of the division and 
continued special investigations of rare element minerals and possible 
sources of vanadium in Canada, this work including many determinations 
of minerals sent in by prospectors. During the year his report on the
