Upwards of 100 specific gravity determinations were made on some 
rock specimens for W. H. Collins, the samples originating in the Sudbury 
area of Ontario. 
The acquisition of additional laboratory equipment (platinum, 
mechanical grinder, etc.) has permitted a considerable increase in the 
output of analytical work, as shown above. 
Exhibition 
In 1934 a large exhibit was prepared for the Central Canada Exhibition 
at Ottawa, by Mr. J. R. Marshall. At the request of Mr. F. P. Cosgrove, 
Canadian Government Exhibition Commission, Department of Trade and 
Commerce, a mineral exhibit was prepared for display during the British 
Empire Week at Johannesburg, South Africa. 
Educational Collections 
There was an increased demand from the public for mineral collections 
and specimens. The Bureau of Mines of the Province of Quebec ordered 
no less than 1,025 sets of a special collection of minerals and rocks 
assembled according to their specifications. There were distributed 
53,630 specimens broken to proper size, numbered, and assembled. The 
greatest previous demand for specimens and collections was in 1930-31 
when 850 collections containing 36,313 specimens were issued to the public 
of Canada. Mr. Marshall reports that the educational collections 
assembled by him were distributed as follows:

In addition to the above three boxes of mineral chips, consisting of

loan to students of the Normal School.
