Regis Cliauvenet, and by Prof. Artliur Lakes and Prof. Magnus C. 

 llilseiig. These officers are sometimes accompanied by advanced pupils, 

 but rather for their instruction than for any assistance they may be able 

 to give. The results of these field researches are generally published 

 annually by the school in suitably illustrated octavo volumes. 



Columbia College. — No specific provision is made here for original re- 

 searches in geology in connection with the regular course of instruc- 

 tion ; but the professor of geology in the School of Mines forming a 

 part of the institution, Dr. J. S. Newberry, devotes his vacations and 

 leisure to geologic work in field and office; and in this work he some- 

 times receives the assistance of, and his example is sometimes imitated 

 by, advanced pupils. Part of the results of these researches appear 

 in the School of Mines Qiuirterly, which is regularly i)ublished by the 

 College Alumni Association. It should be understood that iu this as 

 in some other cases (and indeed in some measure in all cases) the credit 

 for the original work belongs rather to individuals thau to the insti- 

 tutiou. 



Dakota School of Mines. — This institution is located at the same 

 time in the only notable mining region in the State and in one of the 

 most interesting geologic provinces on the face of the globe; and while, 

 as in Colorado, the course of instruction relates rather to technology 

 than pure scienc.?, field-work is carried on not only in connection with 

 the teaching but during vacations, chiefly by the dean, Prof. Franklin 

 11. Carpenter. A preliminary report upon this work was published in 

 1SS8 in au illustrated octavo volume of 17 L pages. 



Dcnison University. — Original investigations in field and office are 

 carried on iu this institution in connection with the regular course of 

 instruction by C. L. Herrick, i)rofessor of geology and natural history, 

 and some of his associates and pupils ; and the results of these re- 

 searches are published in excellent style in the Bulletin and Transac- 

 tions of the scientific laboratories of the University. 



State University of Iowa. — Special provision for original investigation 

 is not made iu this institution ; but the energetic incumbent of the chair 

 of geology and zoology. Prof. Samuel Calvin, carries forward, in connec- 

 tion with his university duties and during vacations, original researches 

 in geology and paleontology; and in 1888 the publication was com- 

 menced of a " Bulletin from the Laboratories of Natural History, " in 

 which the results of the work of Professor Calvin and some of his asso- 

 ciates and pupils are printed. 



Johns HopMm University. — There is in this university a fellowship 

 assigned to geology which is worth |500 per year; and during the fis- 

 cal year there has been allotted in addition a small sum for the pay- 

 ment of field expenses incurred by the fellow of geology. ^Moreover, 

 field-work is recognized as an important aid in class instruction, and 

 the professor of geology. Dr. George 11. ^Yilliams, introduces his pupils 

 to practical work in the tiehl upon the crystalline rocks of eastern I\Tary-
