Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report Upon the Paleontology of the Province of Ontario The following Report contains descriptions, for the most part accompanied by figures, of the fossils which I collected during the year 1873, in the Devonian rocks of Western Canada, by the help of a grant set apart for this purpose by the Government of Ontario. In some few cases, for the sake of completeness, I have also included descriptions of remains which I have collected upon other occasions from the same deposits, but which did not come under my notice during the investigation of which this is a special record. The collections herein described were mainly made from the inferior portion of the Devonian series (Oriskany Sandstone and Corniferous Limestone); but the Hamilton group was likewise, though less carefully, examined. The time and means at my disposal being both limited, I thought it advisable rather to make a careful and prolonged examination of the fauna of a limited district, than to make less exhaustive collections from a wider area and from scattered localities. In accordance with this view, I repeatedly and very carefully examined the various fossiliferous localities in the Devonian rocks of the Townships of Wainfleet, Humberstone, and Bertie, in the County of Welland, on the north shore of Lake Erie. I also visited, more hurriedly, the same deposits further to the west, as they occur in the Townships of Oneida and Walpole, in the County of Haldimand. In investigating the remains of the Corniferous and Hamilton formations, it is hardly necessary for me to remark that I have been very greatly indebted to the various memoirs and works upon this subject by Mr. Billings and Prof. James Hall. The wood engravings, with two exceptions, and all the figures in the lithographic plates which accompany this work, are original.

This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of the History and Development of the Royal Ontario Museum of Palaeontology Turning to the Department of Geology we find Professor E. J. Chapman as head of the department from 1853 to 1895. Professor Chapman was not greatly interested in palaeontology. Apparently he gathered around him only a small collection of fossils - only those which he found useful for demonstrating in his lectures the main groups of fossil organisms. He will always be remembered, however, among palaeontologists as the discoverer of Ogygites canadensis, a trilobite now regarded as the type fossil of the Collingwood formation. It was during the latter part of Professor Chapman's term of office in the year 1893 that William Arthur Parks, who, as we shall see later, became one of the outstanding promoters of the museum movement, received a junior appoint ment on the staff of the geological department. Professor Chap man having neither a real liking nor an aptitude for the study of palaeontology left this phase of the work largely to his young assistant, who soon showed a distinct inclination to pursue the subject. After the retirement of Professor Chapman, Professor A. P. Coleman, formerly of Victoria University and later of the School of Practical Science, became head of the geological depart ment. By this time W. A. Parks was well established in the department. As in the case of Professor Chapman so Professor Coleman left in the hands of this man, his chief assistant, all matters pertaining to fossils. Dr. Parks was thoroughly imbued with the importance of the creation of a museum in the Province of Ontario and, from the time of his initial appointment until the time of his death forty-three years later, worked assiduously for the establishment of the Museum and for its growth and develop ment. It was largely due to his foresight and his untiring efforts that the palaeontological collections forming the nucleus of the future Museum were assembled. During the decade following the fire, which had destroyed the earlier collections, the prevailing financial situation was poor and, as a result, departmental development was hampered. Suchconditions were not propitious for the creation of a museum that would adequately fulfil the needs of the important subject of palaeontology, the handmaiden of geology. With the beginning of the twentieth century, however, a period of reconstruction began and the museum spirit, which had been dormant for awhile was revived by the more liberal treatment it received. At this time the University and the Museum were very fortunate in having as a friend Mr. Byron E. Walker (later Sir Edmund), well known for his keen interest in science, in art and in all things cultural. Mr. Walker was not only a stimulating force but a generous benefactor.
