old studies. Of the fifty-nine papers presented, eleven may be 

 classified as petrological, twenty-two as structural and stratigraph- 

 ical, four as physiographic, three as paleontological, eight as 

 glacial, four as taxonomic, and the remainder as miscellaneous. 

 On the whole, the papers showed wide diversity of interest and 

 an admirable distribution of investigation. Notable interest was 

 manifested in the petrological papers, particularly those relative 

 to volcanic phenomena, and in the papers bearing on structural 

 dynamics. The titles were as follows :
