Ottawa is the centre of a classical region for geology. Here are displayed, in readily accessible form, representatives of the Precambrian Grenville province, the Ordovician system, and the glacial and postglacial record. Since the time of Logan and Billings, a succession of eminent geologists have found in this vicinity the bases for many valuable contributions to geological science. Alice Evelyn Wilson is a most worthy member of this distinguished company. The greater part of her long and very active career has been devoted to a study of geology in the Ottawa valley.
