An attempt is made in this monograph to bring inot systematic order the facts that have thus far been ascertained regarding the Canadian and Ordovician strata of South Manchuria. Part 1 deals with he stratigraphy, containing descriptions of the formations and sections as they occur at various localities; Part 2 is biologic in scope, comprising mainly descriptions of the new material found by the author as well as an attempt to present a complete critical review of previous studies. Holotype specimens listed contain United States National Museum catalog numbers.

Excerpt from The Canadian and Ordovician Formations and Fossils of South Manchuria I further wish gratefully to acknowledge my obligation to Prof. H. Yabe, of the Tohoku Imperial University, from whom I have received much encouragement and help in my field work. Likewise I am indebted to S. Iwata, president of the Iwata Institute of Plant Biochemistry in Japan, for considerable funds donated to carry on my studies. Similarly, ' the Scholarship Foundation of the South Manchuria Railway co. Rendered me invaluable financial assistance. Finally, I must express my hearty and sincere recognition of the encouragement given me by the late Dr. Charles D. Walcott, secre tary of' the Smithsonian Institution. It was his inspiration that led me to continue my geological work in South Manchuria, and eventually to 'come to America to complete my studies.
