departments of inquiry which I have indicated or in any other which 

 iniglit be selected. We need not at first be too ambitious. The 

 simplest, easiest, and least costly series of observations might be 

 cliosen for a beginning. The work might be distributed among 

 the different countries represented in the Congress. Each nation 

 would be entirel}'^ free in its selection of subjects for investigation, 

 and would have the stimulus of co-operation with other nations in 

 its work. The Congress will hold its triennial gathering next year 

 in Paris, and if such an organization of research as I have suggested 

 could then be inaugurated, a great impetus would thereby be given 

 to geological research, and France, again become the birthplace of 

 another scientific movement, would acquire a fresh claim to the 

 admiration and gratitude of geologists in every part of the globe.
