About the Book

Excerpt from On the Occurrence of Numerous Fragments of Fir-Wood in the Islands of the Arctic Archipelago: With Remarks on the Rock-Specimens Brought From That Region

ON the present occasion I cannot attempt to offer any general, still less any detailed description of the rocks and fossils of the north western portion of that great Arctic Archipelago whose shores were first explored by Parry and Sabine. The specimens the brought home from Melville Island, and which were described by h r. Kiinig, first conveyed to us the general knowledge of the existence there of fossiliferous limestones and other rocks analogous to known European types in Scandinavia. Since those earl days, the voyages of Franklin, and of the various gallant Officers w 0 have been in search of our lamented friend, have amplified those views, and have shown us that over nearly the whole of the Arctic Archipelago these vast islands possess a structure similar to that of North America. We shall soon, I believe, be made acquainted with the characters of the specimens collected by the expedition under Sir Edward Belcher, who is pre paring a description of the natural-history products of his survey. My chief object now is to call attention to the remarkable fact of the occurrence of considerable quantities of wood, capable of being used for fuel or other purposes, which exist in the interior, and on the high grounds of large islands in latitudes where the dwarf willow is now the only living shrub.
