PERSONAL AND SCIENTIFIC NEWS. 
The Geological Mapping of the Algonkian g-old-bear- 
ing rocks of Nova Scotia, under the direction of Mr. E. R. 
Faribault of the Geological Survey of Canada, has been 
practically finished as far west as the latitude of Halifax. It 
gives the positions of anticlinal and synclinal axes, and the 
locations of the domes along the former, so characteristic of 
the country, on the scale of a mile to the inch. In addition 
to this work, which is plotted from sheets of the usual size, 
special maps are prepared of prominent or complex mining 
regions which are always on these domes. These maps are 
uncolored and are printed on sheets of various sizes, upon 
the scale of 500, 250, or 125 feet to the inch. Mr. Faribault's 
work during the present field season has included Renfrew, 
Uniacke, and South Uniacke. 
Prof. J. C. Branner, of the Stanford University, 
writes from Bahia, Aug. 29th that, after a visit to the coral 
reefs south from Bahia, he will return to San Francisco, via 
straits of Magellan, Valparaiso and Panama, returning home 
as fast as possible. He is highly pleased with the results of 
his examinations, thus far, and expected to finish the work 
as planned before he leaves the South American coast.
