He published over two hundred papers on geology, palaeontology and archaeology. Although he maintained his career at the Custom House, he became internationally known for his studies in palaeontology. Much of his collection is now part of the holdings of the New Brunswick Museum. This grant programme recognizes his enormous contribution by supporting field and laboratory work and encourages collections-based research of a museum nature. Proposals of high quality in the areas of palaeontology, stratigraphy, paleoecology, mineralogy and petrology are invited. All, or most, of any field research must be carried out in New Brunswick.
