Synopsis
Excerpt from Geological Survey of Canada: Report of Progress for the Year 1847-48
My duty, as Director of the Geological Survey of the Province, requires that I should report to Your Excellency the progress which has been made in the investigation in the course of the past season.
The labors of my Assistant, Mr. Murray, have been devoted to an examination of part of the shores of Lake Huron those of Mr. Hunt, to the chemical analysis of various minerals and mi neral waters collected by himself on two different excursions chiefly, one to the Ottawa and one to the upper extremity of Lake Ontario, as well as of various substances obtained on the explorations both of Mr. Murray and myself. The Reports of Mr. Murray and Mr. Hunt I have now the honor to transmit to Your Excellency.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a Geological Survey of Canada report documenting the progress that had been made in the 1847-48 season. The author provides detailed accounts of examinations performed by his assistants, Mr. Murray and Mr. Hunt, which include chemical analyses of minerals and mineral waters found during their field research. Notably, the report underscores the wealth of resources found in the southern region of the St. Lawrence, from the abundance of calcareous clay, fit for wheat production, to the abundance of hardwoods found in its forests. The author provides an extensive description of the region's stratigraphy, and the many valuable rocks and minerals yielded from the land, such as good quality limestone suitable for quarrying, and the numerous trap dykes found in quarries, which yield analcime and bladed feldspar. The book concludes with the author's belief that the research and data within this report will be of enormous value to the people of Canada. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
