Abstract
The existence of an enormous area of seleniferous soil is revealed through the results of a reconnaissance examination of portions of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba provinces of Canada. About 300 samples of shales, soils, and plants were collected at 90 different locations. The selenium content of the shales varied from 0.3 to 3.0 p.p.m., and of the soils from 0.1 to 6 p.p.m. The vegetation contained from 3 to 4190 p.p.m. of selenium.Keywords
