Abstract
The peat bogs of southeastern Canada thus seem to indicate that the lower layers formed during a warm, dry period; that this was followed by a moist period which, judging by the presence of deciduous trees, was also probably warm; that this was succeeded by a dry, warm period, and this in turn by a moist period which possibly was comparatively cool as deciduous trees decreased in quantity. The climatic changes correspond in a general way, at least, to those that affected Europe in post-Glacial time. The early dry, warm period corresponds with the Boreal period; the next, the moist probably warm period, with the Atlantic period; the thlrd, the dry, warm period with the sub-Boreal period; and the last, the moist, probably cool period, with the sub-Atlantic period.
