Sir:

I have the honour to transmit herewith the report of the Commission of Conservation on “Lands, Fisheries and Game, and Minerals” for 1911. A great deal of research work was involved in the preparation of this volume and the Commission gratefully acknowledges the assistance kindly given by the Dominion and Provincial Departments of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Mines. The Agricultural Colleges throughout Canada gave valuable assistance in connection with the agricultural survey, and many thanks are due to Hon. W. J. Bowser, Attorney-General of British Columbia, whose Department contributed able articles on the fisheries and game of that Province. The Commission also desires to express its appreciation of the kindness of Messrs. E. T. Carbonell, C. W. Gauthier, E. T. D. Chambers and others, in supplying contributions respecting fisheries and game.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,
Your obedient servant

JAMES WHITE

Secretary

Hon. CLIFFORD SIFTON,
Chairman,
Commission of Conservation,

Ottawa.
