PALEONTOLOGICAL DIVISION (Geological Survey) 
E. M. Kindle, Chief of the Division, reports as follows upon those 
activities that relate to the Museum. Other work of the division is 
given in the Annual Report of the Geological Survey. 
E. M. Kindle studied a series of Devonian sections in eastern Quebec 
in the lower part of Dartmouth River basin and Forillon peninsula, which 
extend from the upper part of the Gaspe sandstone into the black slates 
and limestones at the base of the eastern Gaspe Devonian. The fossil 
collections and the studies made are designed to show the faunal and 
lithologic changes that develop in a northwest to southeast direction in 
this area. In Nova Scotia study of the geological distribution of man- 
ganiferous concretions was extended over a considerable part of the eastern 
half of the province. A small area occupied by the Knoydart formation 
was studied near the coast northwest of Antigonish, N.S. 
C. M. Sternberg spent the month of July collecting a mosasaur skull 
from a well 37 feet below the surface in Riding Mountain region, Manitoba, 
and in examining the shale exposures in this area. This is the first mosasaur 
discovered in the Riding Mountain beds. He spent most of August and 
September in Calgary, Alberta, assisting the Calgary Zoological Society 
in the construction of a life-sized dinosaur model, and a fossil garden.
