Abstract
MR. G. K. GILBERT'S survey of the Niagara Falls (see NATURE, vol. lxxv., p. 607) is not to stand alone. In the “Summary Report of the Geological Survey Department of Canada for 1905” (Ottawa, 1906) Dr. J. W. Spencer prormses a full account of the Niagara district, which he is agreeably confident will reveal “discoveries of the greatest importance” (p. 91). Soundings have been made in the gorge below the falls, in areas previously untested and wells have been sunk to prove the depth of an interesting buried channel, filled with glacial drift.
