The Provinces. As already stated, while undoubtedly 

 the best opportunities for geological study are to be found 

 in Paris, there are often special reasons why the work 

 of a graduate student may best be carried on at one of 

 the universities of the provinces, which offer a wide 

 variety of geological problems in the rocks of their 

 surroundings. Among professors in charge of the work 

 in geology at the provincial universities are the follow- 

 ing: Lille: Charles BARROIS, a leading authority upon 

 the geology of the pre-Cambrian rocks, and particu- 

 larly those of Brittany; Grenoble: W. KILIAN, an 

 authority upon the stratigraphy and palaeontology of the 

 Cretaceous formation; Dijon: Louis COLLOT; Mar- 

 seille: Gaston VASSEUR, whose field of study has been 

 the Tertiary of Western France; Nancy (where there is 

 a School of Geological Engineering) : Rene NICKLES, an 

 authority upon the geology of Southeastern Spain; 

 Clermont-Ferrand: Ph. GLANGEAUD, whose special field 

 has been the volcanic region of Central France; Lyon: 

 Charles DEPERET, an authority upon Miocene geology, 

 with whom is associated Frederic ROMAN in the field of 

 agricultural geology; Bordeaux: Emmanuel FALLOT; 

 Toulouse: Charles JACOB, in the field of Alpine geology 

 and glacial geology; Caen: Alexandre BIGOT, an authori- 

 ty upon the crystalline rocks of Brittany; Poitiers: Jules 

 WELSCH, who has given much attention to the tectonic 

 geology of Western France; Rennes: Jean SEUNES; 

 Besanqon: Eugene FOURNIER, tectonic geology, hydrology, 

 and speleology; Montpellier: A. DELAGE. 



At the University of Algiers, where such unexcelled 

 facilities are offered for the study of desert geology, 

 there is a strong staff of specialists in this field, and ex- 

 ceptional opportunities are afforded for the study of
