Ami, Canadian geologist and archeolo- gist, who died in France January 4, probably will be held in Ottawa Tues- day, it was announced here yesterday. . Ami was widely known in this l',‘ltY. particularly in scientific circles and in the field of arts and letters. He also had a wide acquaintance among the members of the diplomatic corps here. Born in 1858 near Montreal, Canada, Dr. Ami entered the geological service of Canada after being graduated from McGill University. He had established | an enviable reputation in the field of science. During the 30 years spent in the service of the Canadian government he“ won distinction for his work in the study of fossil shells found in the older geological formations. His contribu- tions not only to geology and paleon- tology, but to geography as well, gave him international recognition. He was author of Volume I of Stanford’s Com- pendium of Geography. Service in World War. During the World War he devoted his wide knowledge of the geology lnd‘ mineral resources of Canada, in partic- ular, to aid the British government, and for a great part of the war was located in Washington, where he main- tained co-operative contacts with the cvilian as well as military committees concerned with the mineral supplies es- | sential to the successful military out- | come. He was a man of extraordinarily wide acquaintance among public and literary men, as well as scientists. Al- ways interested in all branches of sci- ence, he became so deeply attracted by the results of archeological research that after the war he concentrated his attention on prehistoric archeology and the problems of the antiquity of man. Under arrangements effected with the government of France, he organized the Canadian School of Prehistory, un- der the auspices of which explorations ‘were for several years carried on in the region of Dordonne, in France. ‘The _researches, mainly conducted under his personal supervision, result- ed in recovery of a great amount of material, some of which was left in| Prance, while a large part of it was ‘was brought to Ottawa, where exten- sive collections, embracing material of great value and archeological interest, were deposited in the Canadian Nn-‘ tional Museum. He was for a time curator of paleon- tology and archeology of the Canadian National Museum and had contributed toward its establishment and donated exhibits to be shown there. He was a permanent member of the | Royal Societv of Canada, under aus- | pleces of which the Canadian School of Prehistory was organized, and was a fellow of the principal learned so- cleties of the United States. He was a prolfic writer and lecturer on so- cial as well as scientific subjects. Out- side of the organization of archeologi- cal exploration, Dr. Am\'s principal contribution in that field was his con- clusion. founded upon evidence dis- covered in the Dordonne. that the Es- kimo races now found in Northern Can- ada originated in Euroj He is survived by hls widow, Mrs. Clara J.
