Dr. F. A. Bather, in exhibiting Rock- specimens, Microscope- 

 sections, and Photographs illustrating Blavierite, Ophitic Diabase, 

 Felsitic Porphyry, Petrosiliceous Breccia, and other Igneous and 

 Metamorphic Rocks of the Mayenne, said that the specimens had been 

 collected by him in the course of an excursion of the Ylllth Inter- 

 national Geological Congress, under the guidance of M. D. P. Oehlert. 

 In the basins of Laval and Coevrons were many peculiar rocks due 

 to the folding and crushing of stratified rocks penetrated by erup- 

 tive dykes. The tectonic features were illustrated by the maps of 

 M. Oehlert and by the photographs. The slides were prepared in 

 the Mineralogical Department of the Natural History Museum, 

 where all the specimens would be preserved.
