[Assented to 28th April, 1877.]
ER Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows :—
1. The Minister of the Interior shall continue to have the control and management of the Geological Survey of Canada, and there shall be a branch of the Department of the Interior known as the Geological Survey Branch, which shall, under the control of the Minister, take charge of and conduct the Geological Survey of the several Provinces and Territories of the Dominion.
2. The objects and purposes of the survey and museum shall be, to elucidate the geology and mineralogy of the Dominion, and to make a full and scientific examination of the various strata, soils, ores, coals, oils and mineral waters, and of its recent fauna and flora so as to afford to the mining, metallurgical and other interests of the country, correct and full information as to its character and resources.
8. It shall be the duty of the persons in charge of thefsaid survey :—
1. To collect, classify and arrange such specimens as may be nec
to insure a complete and exact knowledge of the mineralogical resources of the several Provinces and Territories of Canada; to carry on palreontological investigations, to study and report upon the/awna and flora of the Dominion, and to make such other researches as will best tend to ensure the carrying into effect the object and purposes of thi?
2. To continue to collect the necessary materials for a Canadian museum of natural history, mineralogy and geology;
3. To report from time to time, in such manner and form as the Minister may direct, their proceedings under this Act, and to furnish proper maps, diagrams, drawings and collections of specimens to illustrate the same.
4. The Director of the Geological Survey shall, as soon as may be after the close of each calendar year, make a full report to the Minister, of the proceedings and work of the Survey for the year, and the results thereof,
in such manner and form, and with such details, maps, diagrams and drawings as may be requisite to elucidate the same ; and the Minister shall cause the same to be laid before Parliament, with such remarks, explanations and recommendations as he may think proper.
5. The Governor in Council may, from time to time, appoint a suitable person, to be the Director of the Geological Survey, with such assistants as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act, and with such salaries or remuneration as the Governor in Council may determine ; provided that such salaries shall be subject to the approval of Parliament.
6. The Director and persons appointed to permanent positions in the Geological Survey Branch of the Department 01 the Interior, shall be considered as being within the provisions of the Act thirty-third Victoria, chapter four, to provide for the superannuation of persons employed in the Civil Service, in certain cases.
7. The Governor in Council may, whenever he may think fit, direct the removal of the museum, and the officers and others connected with the Geological Survey Branch or the Department of the Interior, to the City of Ottawa.
8. The museum shall be opened to the public from ten a.m. until four p.m., Sundays excepted, and shall be furnished with such books, instruments and apparatus as may be necessary for scientific reference, and for the prosecution of the survey ; and the Governor in Council may, from time to time, cause the enlargement of the museum, and the distribution of duplicate specimens to scientific, literary and educational institutions in Canada and other countries.
9. For the purpose of obtaining an accurate basis from which the geological and topographical features cf the country may be ascertained, and for the purpose of connecting together local and partial surveys, the Director of the Geological Survey shall cause such topographical, geographical or other measurements or observations to be made, and monuments or marks to be placed, as may be deemed necessary for this purpose.
10. All railway and canal companies over which the Parliament of Canada has jurisdiction, shall, if incorporated after the passing of the Act thirty- first Victoria, chapter sixty-seven, furnish to the Geological Survey, without charge, certified copies of all plans and sections of their surveys ; and all such companies theretofore incorporated, shall furnish such plans and sections upon the demand of the Director of the Geological Survey, and at the cost of the Department.

" The style in which this work has been got up, the precision of the drawing, and the accuracy of the woodcuts, may almost cnallenge comparison with the execu-
tion of similar productions on this side of the Atlantic. There has been a steady persistance in the conduct of this remarkable survey, honourable alike to the successive Governments that have encouraged it, and to the officers who have carried out the work. No other Colonial Survey has ever yet assumed the same truly national character ; and the day may come — if ever the " Imperial Colony " shall claim and obtain independence— when the scientific public of a great nation, looking back upon the earlier dawnings of science in their land, shall regard the name of Logan, native born, with the same affectionate interest with which English geologists now regard the names of our great geological map makers, William Smith and De laBeche." — London Saturday Review.
" This large octavo, of 983 pages, illustrated with 498 woodcuts, and to be accompanied by an atlas of maps and sections, presents a condensed view of the work of the Canadian Survey from its commencement in 1863. It gives the results of the com-
bined labours of Sir W. E. Logan, Mr. Murray, Dr. Hunt and Mr. Billings, a staff not to be surpassed either in ability or energy, and aided also by several able assistants, of whom Mr. Richardson and Mr. Bell stand first. The value of the work to Canada can scarcely be over-estimated. It must be regarded as of vast importance, whether we consider readers abroad or at home, whether we consider scientific objects purely or those which are practical. Its mechanical execution is an evidence f the progress of the arts among us. Its publication to the world is a proof of the interest taken in science in this country, and of the enlightened patronage afforded by the Government to such investigations, and. at the same time, of the immense value of our mineral resources, as well as of the extent to which they have already been made available. It gives, for the first time, to geologists abroad the means of making themselves thoroughly acquainted with the geology of this country ; and it thus places Canada on a level with those older countries whose structure has been explored, and the knowledge of it made the common property of the world." — Canadian Naturalist.

The Geology of Canada (Quebec and Ontario) is derived from the results of the Canadian Geological Survey : that of the other Provinces from the labours of Dr. J. W. Uawson, Professor Robb, Jukes, and others j while that of the United States is compiled under the authority of Professor James Hall, from various sources mentioned in the Atlas accompanying the " Geology of Canada."
This truly great and beautiful Map will at once recommend itaelf to all lovers of Geological Science in America. It consists of eight sheets, each 24 x 20$ inches, and, when mounted on rollers, measures 8 ft. by 3 ft. 7 in. It is engraved on steel, in the best style, and ia coloured by hand in 33 colours, showing the different formations. The territory mapped extends from Labrador on the East, to the Red River on the West, and from Hudson's Bay on the North, to Northern Virginia on the South. Besides the Geology of the British Provinces (the main object of the Map), the Geology of the Northern United States is fully shown; and it is as completely a Geological Map for the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, Vermont, Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, as it is for Canada. The Coal Regions are shown with precision from Cape Breton to Missouri.

Museum And Library.
The Geological and Natural History Museum and Headquarters of the Survey were, in accordance with an Act of the Dominion Parliament, 40 Vic., cap. 9, sec. 7, removed from Montreal to Ottawa, and are now established in a three-story stone building on the corner of Sussex and George streets.
The large increase of visitors to the Museum, since its removal from Montreal, f,ully justifies the action of the Government in transferring it to the Capital. The largest number of names entered in the register of visitors for any one year, at Montreal, was 1,652, and this number, in 1880, was reduced to 1,183 ; whereas, at Ottawa, at the end of the first year, there were 9,549 names registered; at the end of the second ye%r 10,806, and at the end of the third 12,325.
The ground floor contains offices, library and laboratory. On the first floor there are two rooms devoted to museum purposes — the larger one, 103 feet long by 24 feet wide, contains upwards of 4,000 geological and mineralogical specimens, arranged in cases to illustrate the economic and scientific geology of the Dominion. The specimens are labeled, showing the localities from which they were obtained, and the formations to which they belong. The economic collection is arranged under the following heads :—
I. Metals and their Ores. II. Fossil Fuel.
III. Minerals 'applicable to certain Chemical Manufactures, and their Products (see'also under IV).
IV. Mineral Manures (see also under HI). V. Mineral Pigments and Detergents. VI. Salt, Brines and Mineral Waters. VII. Materials applicable to Common and Decorative Construction.
VIII. Refractory Materials, Pottery Clays and Pottery. IX. Materials for Grinding and Polishing. X. Minerals applicable to the Fine Arts and to Jewelry.
In the smaller room on the same floor (22 ft. 6 in. by 17 ft. 8 in.) there is a small collection of foreign minerals which, as opportunities occur, will be augmented ; also, a collection of specimens of native woods.
The rooms on the second floor are of the same dimensions as those on the first floor. The larger one contains upwards of 11,000 specimens of Canadian fossils, representing over 3,000 species; also, about 6,000 species of shells comprising upwards of 14,000 specimens, most of which are exotic.
In the smaller room on this floor there is a small ethnological collection, chiefly from the Indians of the Pacific Coast. A larger collection of Indian relics, mainly from Ontario, was recently acquired. It contains upwards of 3,500 specimens, but owing to want of available space they cannot, at present, be exhibited.
The Museum possesses an Herbarium containing upwards of 7,000 specimens of the North American flora, including a nearly complete series of plants indigenous to Canada.
It contains also the commencement of a collection of native mammals and birds which, however, includes a few very rare Arctic.and North- Western species. There are, at present, 24 species of mammals and about 70 species of birds, represented by HO specimens
In the Library there are upwards ol 5,500 volumes, comprising standard works of reference on geology, mineralogy, metallurgy, chemistry and natural history. Persons desiring to consult any volume can do so, by applying to the Librarian.
The Museum is open to visitors from 10 a m. to 4 p.m. Admission free. OTTAWA, March, 1884.
