Geological Research 67 



Mr. Adam Bruckner and the volunteer assistance of Mrs. E. O. 

 Hovey, the card catalogue of the collection of meteorites, and 

 he has begun the task of putting the numbers on the specimens. 

 This work has emphasized the facts that our collection is 

 second only, in this country, to that of the Field Museum of 

 Natural History, Chicago, in regard to the number of falls 

 and finds represented, and that it surpasses all others in some 

 important respects of scientific value and interest. 



A paper by Doctor Carlotta J. Maury, entitled "Tertiary 

 Mollusca from Porto Rico and their Zonal Relations," based 

 on our collections, the study for which was corn- 

 Publication pieted in 1019, was published in May, 1020, by

 Doctor Marjorie O'Connell, entitled "Jurassic Ammonite 

 Fauna of Cuba," likewise based on our collections, has 

 appeared this year in the Bulletin of the Museum. A paper 

 by Associate Curator Reeds on "Mounting Geological Speci- 

 mens with Sulphur," was read at the annual meeting of the 

 American Association of Museums in May and published in 

 Museum Work in November. Dr. Reeds read a paper on 

 "Some Red Limestones from Oklahoma" at a meeting of the 

 New York Academy of Sciences. He has also completed his 

 Bathymetrical Chart of the Caribbean region, which is ready 

 for publication as soon as his accompanying text has been 

 written. The Curator has published some short articles in 

 Natural History. 



The Curator did field work connected with the preparation 

 of the topogeologic relief models of the Mt. Washington and 

 Mt. Holyoke areas, the Yosemite Valley area, the 

 Ej- eld k Standing Stone, Tennessee, area, and the Wat- 



kins Glen area. In the Mt. Washington, Mt. 

 Holyoke and Watkins Glen areas, he was accompanied by 

 Mr. Lester Morgan, the modeler. Mr. Morgan also visited 

 the Standing Stone area by himself. The Curator visited the 

 Copper Queen Mine region at Bisbee, Arizona, and made an 

 extended visit to the Hawaiian Islands, where he collected 

 rock specimens and secured a valuable series of photographic 

 negatives on the islands of Kauai, Oahu, Maui and Hawaii.
