phenomena of Sweden or of the polar regions can throw light upon. 

 Particular attention should thus be devoted to the following domains 

 of geological science : — 



1. The Geology of Archaean Rocks. 



2. The Geology of the Quaternary Period (especially climatic 



changes in late and post-Glacial times). 



3. The Geology of the Polar Regions. 



4. Applied Geology (especially the extent and distribution of the 



supplies of iron-ore in the world). 

 Numerous excursions have been planned in connection with the 

 Congress. 



Before the Meeting. 



1. Northern Sweden (Norrland). 



(a) Large overthrusts, post- Archaean eruptive rocks, etc. 20 days. 

 {h) The ore-fields of Cellivaro and Kirunavara. 10 days. 

 [c) Quaternary formations in Jamtland. 10 days. 

 {d) Quaternary formations in Norrbotten. 10 days. 



2. Spitzbergen. About 3 weeks. 



3. Peat-beds in Central Sweden. 6 days. 



During the Meeting. 

 Several one-day excursions. 



After the Meeting. 



1. Five simultaneous excursions in Southern Sweden, excepting Scania. 12 days. 



(a) Archaean rocks. 



{b) Cambrian-Silurian beds. 

 (c) Quaternary deposits. 

 id) Ores. 

 (e) General geology. 



2. (To follow 1.) Three simultaneous excursions in Scania. 7 days. 



(«) Cambrian- Silurian beds. 



[b) Mesozoic beds. 

 {c) Quaternary beds. 



The first excursions (to Spitzbergen and Norrland) begin about 

 July 25, the meeting of the Congress takes place about August 18-26, 

 and the last excursions (in Scania) end in the middle of September. 



This programme is subject to alterations ; the present scheme is
