IN his address to the Iron and Steel Institute (NATURE, vol. xv., p. 462), Dr. Siemens stated that the area of the Coal Fields of Nova Scotia was 18,000 square miles, and the production in 1874 1,052,000 tons. If Dr. Siemens will refer to Dr. Dawson's ``Acadian Geology,'' the Reports of the ``Canadian Government Geologists,'' and Brown's ``Coal Fields and Coal Trade of Cape Breton,'' he will find that he has greatly overstated the area of the Nova Scotia Coal Fields. From these sources, which I believe are perfectly reliable, I make out that the whole area of the Nova Scotia Coal Fields does not amount to 1,000 square miles, distributed over the following counties:- To this amount, however, must be added the portions of the Cape Breton and Inverness Coal Fields lying under the sea, which, supposing the seams can be worked a distance of five miles beyond high-water mark, will make the total area of the Nova Scotia Coal Fields 859 instead of 18,000 square miles.
