This paper is a list of radiocarbon dates obtained at the University of Saskatchewan since the last report was issued (McCallum, 1955). The method used is essentially that of Suess (1954), in which the sample is counted as acetylene gas. The proportional counter has a sensitive volume of one liter and is filled with acetylene to a pressure of one atmosphere. Each sample is counted for at least two 20-hour periods. The modern standards used were obtained from softwood logs grown in Northern Saskatchewan and were either 50 or 100 years old as obtained from ring counts.
