unsxpIOred Areas In Canada.

A very common impression held even
by Canadians Is that there is little Ca
madam territory left to explore except
on the Arctic islands. But as far back
as 1890 DR.. George Dawson had calcu-
lated that there were then about 1000
600 square miles of unexplored terri
tory in Canada, about 100000 square
miles in western Canada, the rest lying
in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec
Charles Camsell of the geological
survey Of Canada recently revised Dr..
DawsOn's estimate, reaching for west
ern Canada the figures of about G42,OO0
square miles, while the unexplored area
of northern Quebec is represented by
$4,000 square miles.
The total area Of Canada is reckoned
at 3, ,729,66 square miles, of which 52O,-
800 square miles are embraced in the
islands of the Arctic ocean. The unex-
plored area (Camsell fgures) of 9Ol 900
square miles represents almost % per
cent of the total area of the country
