Abstract

AbstractIn a country of the size of Canada, the third largest in the world, comprising more than three and a half million square miles and extending through eighty degrees in longitude and a range of latitude from 42° to the North Pole, there is every variety of topography. There are the characteristic accidented regions of the Maritime Provinces and the lower St. Lawrence, vast treeless areas in the Canadian West, and park lands spreading out northwards to merge eventually into the forests, which again give way to the open northern plains that lie towards the Arctic. There are level fertile expanses, hilly areas, marshes, rocky regions of low relief, and localities that display mountainous scenery rivalling anything that exists in other parts of the world. In some places industry has taken its firm foothold with a consequent density of population. In the agricultural areas the population spreads itself out more thinly.
