﻿NO. I SMITHSONIAN EXPLORATIONS, I925 IQ 



were traversed rapidly. At Prague the geologists again offered 

 every courtesy, and Dr. Jan Koliha of the famous Barrandeuni 

 Museum and Dr. Radim Kettner of the Geological Survey served as 

 efficient guides to Barrande's classic sections. In the Museum one 

 can see the first trilobite ever described, just loo years ago. From 

 Czechoslovakia the journey led to Ziirich, where Dr. Ulrich remained. 

 The rest of the party continued across the Jura Mountains and the 

 Central Massif of France to Les Eyzies in the Dordogne country. 

 Several days were spent in investigating the abris and caves in 

 which remains of fossil man are preserved.

As it was necessary for the Princeton members to return at the 

 end of August, the party was finally disbanded at Paris and Prof. 

 Field returned with the automobile to Liverpool. Dr. Resser then 

 proceeded to Frank furt-!am-Main, in Germany, to visit Dr. and 

 Mrs. Rudolf Richter who have been active workers in paleontology 

 during the last ten years, producing much excellent work. 



From Frankfurt he then returned to Copenhagen and in com- 

 pany with Dr. Christian Poulsen of the Mineralogical Museum, 

 made a visit to the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. The island 

 consists of a granitic mass with younger and softer rocks on the 

 southern margin, the whole having been very heavily glaciated. 



Several hundred pounds of selected fossils were collected and 

 sent to the National Museum, a number of valuable gifts were 

 secured, and exchanges were arranged.
