ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND : MDCCCLXVIII. To the Public. The Compiler has much pleasure in submitting to the Public the Newfoundland Almanac for the Year 1869; he indulges the hope that reasonable allowance will be made for such imperfections and inaccuracies as may be found in its pages. No labor or expense has been spared to make it a popular and useful book of reference, and he trusts it will be found quite equal if not superior to those of preceding years. The Newfoundland Almanac for 1869 contains, as did also that for 1808, a concise Business Directory for the three principal towns of the Colony— St, John's, Harbor Grace, and Carbonear J and as it is intended that the Almanac will be extensively circulated out of Newfoundland, the information embodied in The Directory cannot fail to be useful to all who have an interest in the Trade and Commercial relations of this Colony. The Compiler is again indebted to James Campbell, Esq., the worthy and talented Principal of the St, John's Nautical Academy* for the Astronomical Calculations and other Scientific Information contained in the introductory and Calendar pages of the present work. To the Heads of Departments, and others, he is also indebt- ed for their kindness in furnishing the desired information. The Compiler begs to tender his acknowledgments to the general public for the very favorable manner in which the Almanac has been received hitherto ; he trusts that the Number for 1869 will be equally favored, and command if possible a much larger share of public support. To the advertising patrons of the Almanac the undersigned is indebted for their continued favors, and hopes that the efforts made to give their notices an attractive form will meet with their approval.

(HOI S.) ~- ··- 223870 A GRAVITY SURVEY OF EASTERN NOTRE DAME BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND by @ HUGH G. MILLER, B.Sc. {HCNS.) .. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland. July 20, 1970 11 ABSTRACT A gravity survey was undertaken on the archipelago and adjacent coast of eastern Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland. A total of 308 gravity stations were occupied with a mean station spacing of 2,5 km, and 9 gravity sub-bases were established. Elevations for the survey were determined by barometric and direct altimetry. The densities of rock samples collected from 223 sites were detenmined. A Bouguer anomaly map was obtained and a polynomial fitting technique was employed to determine the regional contribution to the total Bouguer anomaly field. Residual and regional maps based on a fifth­ order polynomial were obtained. Several programs were written for the IBM 360/40 computer used in this and model work. Three-dimensional model studies were carried out and a satisfactory overall fit to the total Bouguer field was obtained. Several shallow features of the anomaly maps were found to correlate well with surface bodies, i.e. granite or diorite bodies. Sedimentary rocks had little effect on the gravity field. The trace of the Luke's Arm fault was delineated. The following new features we r~ discovered: (1) A major structural discontinuity near Change Islands; (2) A layer of relatively high ·density (probably basic to ultrabasic rock) at 5 - 10 km depth.

    Download the dataset from www.mun.ca/labradorinstitute/archives by Morgon Mills © Labrador Institute, Memorial University of Newfoundland Happy Valley-Goose Bay, 2016 ISBN-13: 978-0-88901-472-5 Labrador and the Census Preface The census is our most basic and important public data source. It informs government decision-making, institutional policies, academic research, and financial and labour market analyses. It is essential to long-term planning for businesses and non-profit organizations, and it satisfies citizen curiosity. Its findings trickle down through journalism, politics, and word-of-mouth into every sort of document and informed opinion, and whether we recognize it or not, into nearly everybody’s day-to-day outlook on our society. Everyone should have access to census data, in case they should want to answer basic questions about the people living in their community, their region, or their country. The federal government does an excellent job of providing this access online, but only for recent years. Services like the Canadian Census Analyzer at the University of Toronto provide data back as far as 1981, but beyond that matters are not so simple. In Newfoundland and Labrador, community volunteers have done valuable, though fragmentary transcription work at web sites like Newfoundland Grand Banks, and Memorial University’s Digital Archives Initiative hosts online scans of several early census documents. These are important services, but the datasets are not searchable, convertible, standardized, or nearly complete. The report and dataset presented here are meant as a regional solution for Labrador, drawing upon all available sources to provide the most relevant data, from Labrador’s first census in 1857 to the most recent in 2011.
