als contained in the rock and also the inclusions were carefully 
described and illustrated with specimens. Borings in the adjoin- 
ing rock clearly proved that the igneous matter has been forced 
upward fully 6,000 feet. 
Prof. Philip F. Schneider next reported upon 
THE GEOLOGY OF THE GREEN STREET DIKES. 
Four dikes had been found crossing Green street at nearly 
right angles and extending in a northerly direction. The erup- 
tive matter had changed to a yellowish decomposition product in 
all of these but Dike IV., the most easterly. This had a foot of 
decayed material on either side of a twelve foot center of com- 
paratively hard rock, and was traced northward to Highland 
place. The only sign of metamorphism noted was a slight 
change in color of the adjoining shales. 
A record was made of the capture of a Lumpsucker, or sea- 
fish, in Onondaga Lake during the past week.
