desirability of making the chief function of the summer meetings 
the geological excursion, or excursions, and the presentation of 
such papers as may be germane to the geological problems there 
encountered. The greater number of papers consequently 
crowded into the winter meetings could be satisfactorily con- 
sidered and discussed if they were judiciously classified and were 
presented in such sections of the society as could be held at the 
same time without interference; papers of general interest being 
read before the society in general session. A partial subdivision 
of papers was attempted at the last winter meeting, in Baltimore, 
and promised well.
