"Morang's Annual Register of Canadian Affairs," 1901. Edited by J. Castell Hopkins, F.S.S., Toronto; published by George N. Morang & Co., Limited. This is the latest edition of a work the object of which is two-fold. It is intended to afford to the people of Canada from year to year a record of the principal events connected with the history and development of the Dominion of Canada, and to convey to the people of the British Empire and of the United States a summary of current progress in a country now steadily growing in national importance.

The record compiled is both statistical and historical in character, and by means of quotations from current speeches and press opinions it affords a clear view of existing conditions from year to year.

Mr. Hopkins is a well-known Canadian writer, well fitted for the work of compiling and editing such a volume as is before us. Political matters have been impartially dealt with, and the work will be found of value to the historian and the business man as well as to members of the learned professions.

The publishers' price is $3.00 per volume, and for those for whom the work is intended ample value will be found between the covers of this interesting and up-to-date work.

The article from the pen of Mr. I. Allen Jack, which appears in this issue, is republished from the Proceedings of the Smithsonian Institution at Washington. The illustrations which accompany the article have been recently executed, that of the stone itself being from the original now in the Museum of the Natural History Society, St. John.

The design in colors, which appeared in our July issue at the head of the verses written by Mr. W. P. Dole, was erroneously credited to Mr. Robert Brown, Junior, Architect. Mr. Charles O. Wickendon, Architect, who resided in St. John about 1878, but who is now living at Vancouver, B. C., is the person to whom the credit justly belongs. The error was regretable and we feel that an apology is due to Mr. Brown as well as to Mr. Wickendon.
