Excerpt from Notes to Accompany a Preliminary Map of the Duck and Riding Mountains in North-Western Manitoba

Dominion Lands, Indian Reserve, Timber and Railway Surveys up to the present date. It forms the south-west corner of a larger sheet em bracing also the whole of Lake Winnipegosis and part of 'lake Mani toba. This sheet it was hoped would have been ready for publication during the present winter, but during the early part of the summer of 1888 the writer was seized with a severe attack of fever while in the vicinity of Fairford House on the Little Saskatchewan River. Two weeks were occupied in carrying him to Winnipeg, where he lay in the hospital for seven weeks, and was unable to resume field work before the winter set in. This checked the progress of the explora tion to such an extent that another season must necessarily be spent before the whole map can be ready for publication.
