A. DAVIDSON, Chairman. 
GHOLOGICAL SECTION. 
Our first section meeting was held in October in the auditorium of 
the Girls’ Collegiate School, Adams and Figueroa streets. Prof. W. L. 
Watts, well known in mining and oil circles throughout the State, gave 
us a very entertaining and thoughtful talk on some of the geological 
conditions of Southern Mexico, illustrated with maps and photographs. 
Different phases of the life in that part of the world were also portrayed, 
and all was highly appreciated. 
On November 26 Dr. Koebig, former city chemist, gave us a very 
interesting lecture on ‘‘Cement Deposits,’’ at the State Normal School. 
Prof. Spalding’s ‘‘Cyclic Phenomena,’’ in December, took the place 
of a section meeting for that month. Since the first of the year there 
has been much faulting along our geological structural lines, and much 
irregularity is apparent in the general formation, not caused by quakes 
and rock slidings, but by the enforced absence of the chairman of the 
section in Mexico on private business, and in Nevada under a commission 
from our Chamber of Commerce to report on the mining and general 
conditions of the territory tributary to the metropolis of California, Los 
Angeles city.
