A preliminary study of the mineralogical composition of the fine sand fractions of 51 samples of tills and stratified sands in northern Ontario was carried out. About 40 different minerals were identified in widely varying amounts. In all but a few samples, feldspar was the most abundant mineral while quartz was never the most abundant. Several deposits containing Palaeozoic limestone and dolomite fragments from the rocks of the James Bay lowlands were quite similar in composition to the calcareous southern Ontario deposits. Other samples, containing large amounts of pyroxenes, shale fragments or "greenstones", differed greatly from similar deposits in southern Ontario. The composition of the fine sand correlated well with the field classification of soils in this region, with a few exceptions.

Mating Behaviors

The mating behaviors of Philodromus rufus-like spiders from the Pacific coast, northern Ontario, and southern Ontario near Belleville revealed two species and a subspecies. P. rufus Walckenaer is identified as a transcontinental species in which the males vibrate their legs in courtship and possess an "angular" retro-lateral apophysis on the palpal tibia. P. rufus vibrans Dondale is a small, heavily-speckled subspecies of rufus. The second species is P. exilis Banks, in which the males do not vibrate and have a "non-angular" apophysis, and which occurs in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence-Acadian forests of eastern North America.

Mineralogical Study

A mineralogical study of the fine sand fraction of unweathered tills and stratified sands chosen to represent the deposits of the major ice lobes of southern Ontario was carried out. In addition, a few analyses were made of the coarse silt and coarser sands.In general there was the same variety of minerals in all samples and they varied only in their proportions. Tills overlying Palaeozoic bedrock contained abundant carbonates and shale fragments constituting up to 70 per cent of some fine sands. In the coarse sands, carbonates and shale increased sharply. In the coarse silt and fine sand, feldspars were more abundant than quartz whereas in the medium and coarse sand the reverse was true. Quartz increased in quantity with increasing grain size and reached a maximum in the medium sand. Heavy minerals usually constituted less than 15 per cent of the fine sand. Some of the minerals present in the coarse silt and fine sand were not found in the coarser sands. Usually the order of abundance of the heavy minerals was: hornblende, garnet, micas, magnetite, pyroxenes and sphene. Epidote, rutile, apatite, tourmaline, staurolite, kyanite and others were also noted. A chart listing the plant nutrient elements found in these minerals was prepared.

AbstractIn this study, we target the speech act of direction-giving using variationist sociolinguistic methods within a corpus of vernacular speech from six Ontario communities. Not only do we find social and geographical correlates to linguistic choices in direction-giving, but we also establish the influence of the physical layout of the community/place in question. Direction-giving in the urban center of Toronto (Southern Ontario) contrasts with five Northern Ontario communities. Northerners use more relative directions, while Torontonians use more cardinal directions, landmarks, and proper street names – for example, Go east on Bloor to the Manulife Centre. We also find that specific lexical choices (e.g., Take a right vs. Make a right) distinguish direction-givers in Northern Ontario from those in Toronto. These differences identify direction-giving as an ideal site for sociolinguistic and dialectological investigation and corroborate previous findings documenting regional variation in Canadian English.

1. Previous investigations showed that certain Scottish soils were of glacial drift origin, that they were comparatively rich in unweathered silicates and therefore in reserves of plant-food, that they showed considerable variation in such silicates and were capable of classification accordingly. Some indication was also shown that the glacial drift, and hence the resulting soil, was sometimes of local origin, its character being determined by the underlying rock. In the present investigation a more extensive survey of Scottish soils has been made in order to discover to what extent these preliminary findings might be applicable generally.2. For this purpose soils have been collected from various localities in the north, north-east, west and south of Scotland, and have been analysed mechanically and the “fine sand” fraction examined mineralogically.

(1) The mineralogical composition of the fine sand fraction of certain soils from the south-east of Scotland is described.(2) The soils are shown to possess a fairly high content of silicate minerals in a comparatively fresh state.(3) The distribution and amount of potash, phosphate and lime-bearing minerals in the soils is discussed.(4) The soils can be grouped according to their mineral content and this grouping is found to depend on the geology of the parent material.(5) All the soils are formed on glacial drift and the results suggest that the local rocks have a preponderating influence on the composition of the matrix of the drift.

The deposits of the Kharkov suite of Paleogene of Belarus are the soils formed at the turn of existence and regression of the last sea basin and the final establishment of the continental situation in the territory of the country. They are widely spread in the south of the republic and lie mostly at depths of 100–110 m. In the southeast of Belarus, along the valleys of large rivers, these soils often reach the surface. The latter predetermined their active use as the foundations of structures. This is especially pronounced in the city of Gomel, where a wide development of territories is currently underway, within which these soils lie at depths of less than 10 m. The purpose of the work is to characterize the conditions for the distribution of the soils of the Kharkov suite of Paleogene within the southeast of Belarus and to study the characteristics of their composition and structure. The work is based on the results of the author's field and laboratory studies, which included a description of the outcrops, pits, and well cores; soil sampling; determination of their chemical and mineral, granulometric and microaggregate compositions, moisture characteristics for the classification of clay soils, as well as the results of statistical data processing. The paper presents the typification of the soil strata of the Kharkov suite of Paleogene of the southeast of Belarus, which allowed us to isolate three characteristic sites that differ in terms of their distribution, depth, thickness of the strata and composition of the soils. Nine granulometric sand and clay differences within the isolated areas were identified. The study of chemical-mineral and granulometric compositions of soils made it possible to identify their significant changes, both in area and in the section, which is caused by confinement to various facies zones, frequent migration of the coastline, long and uneven erosion and glacier-exaction destruction. The interrelation of the mineral composition, size and morphology of sandy soil particles is analyzed, it is noted that in all their varieties medium and fine sand fractions differ in the greatest mineral diversity.

Mud Deposit

Miniature injection features, including mud volcanoes, dikes forming polygonal patterns, and isolated patches of clay, occur in tidal flats along the east coast of James Bay. They are formed by localized upward ejection of a mixture of fluidized marine clay, silt, and fine sand through a surficial recent mud deposit. Liquefaction is related to the melting of ice in the clayey deposit. Upward flowing of clay, silt, and fine sand seems to result from overloading by the overlying sediments having a higher degree of density, and possibly also by pressures of ice floes or/and icefoot.
