2 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 62 
Astrophysical Observatory at times conducts special expeditions both 
in the United States and abroad, in connection with its regular work 
of studying the physical properties of the sun and their effect on the 
earth. 
Both the National Museum and the National Zoological Park re- 
ceived during the year many donations and accessions presented or 
collected by collaborators in this country and abroad who have no 
official connection with either branch. The remaining branches under 
the Smithsonian Institution were not represented by any field parties, 
and therefore are not mentioned in this account. 
Fic. 1.—Looking northeast toward the top of Robson Peak from Rainbow 
3rook, one-quarter mile south of Lake Kinney. Robson Park, British Colum- 
bia, Canada. Photograph taken while clouds and mist were drifting over the 
upper part of the peak. The summit of the peak is 8,800 feet above the camera. 
The view shows the southwest face of the peak. Photograph by C. D. Walcott,

GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES 
In continuation of his previous geological researches in the Cana- 
dian Rockies, Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of the Institution, 
revisited during the field season of 1913, the Robson Peak district 
in British Columbia and Alberta, and the region about Field, British 
Columbia. At the latter place he received the members of the Inter- 
national Geological Congress.
