Description :
In 1843 when the Canadian Geological Survey was organized, he was appointed its director, and he continued to direct its activities until 1869. He revolutionized the current conceptions of Canadian geology; and in 1851 he was, in recognition of his work, elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London. In 1856 he was created a knight bachelor, and was D.C.L. of Bishop's College, Lennoxville, 1855 and an LL.D. of McGill University, 1856. - Wallace. D.C.B. Still a standard reference work on Logan.
