Octavo (9.5 inches). 6 & 7 Edward VII, Chapter 29 (Statutes of Canada). Caption title, 5 pages. Royal coat of arms. Neatly extracted from a bound volume and expertly mended.

The Geological Survey continued its original mandate of conducting field surveys and scientific examinations related to the geological structure, mineralogy, paleontology, ethnology, and flora and fauna of Canada. In addition, studies of water resources and forested areas were carried out.

All findings and research in the form of reports, maps, diagrams, and other illustrative materials were to be published in a timely manner. To complement the two branches of the department, a Museum of Geology and Natural History was to be maintained for a more complete and exact knowledge of the geology, mineralogy, and mineral resources of Canada.…
