Abstract
SOME few weeks back it was announced in NATURE that Dr. Robert Bell, F.R.S., of Ottawa had been appointed director of the Geological Survey of Canada. It is an interesting coincidence that Mr. Charles Hallock has recently written and dedicated to the National Geographical Society of Washington, D.C., a paper dealing with his explorations. This American recognition of a Canadian geological explorer is so remarkable that we desire to call attention to it, especially as it gives an idea of the new director's life work, the extensiveness of which will astonish many. Mr. Hallock, who has been acquainted with Dr. Robert Bell for thirty years, is only able to give us a very brief review of what has been accomplished by this exceptionally able and energetic geologist, for the account is a short one, but we feel that it is of such general interest that the following few facts may be stated.
