The members actually participating in the Congress numbered 

 292. Of these 130 were from Mexico, from America 58, Manila 



I, Canada 8, Honduras 1, Cuba 2, Germany 44, Austria 6, France 



II, England 4, Belgium 3, Russia 3, Finland 2, Italy 2, Sweden 1, 

 Roumania 3, Bohemia 1, Australia 1, and 1 from Japan. In 

 other words, Europe was represented by 80 members, and the 

 Americas by 207. At this Congress, however, the percentage 

 of non-geologists was probably greater than usual, and of ladies 

 there were 27. 



The Russian Spendiaroff prize was awarded to Tschernyschew 

 in recognition of his great work entitled " Die obercarbonischen 

 Brachiopoden des Ural und des Timan." 



Through the death of von Zittel the Paleontologia Univer- 

 salis lost its President, and to this vacancy the Council of the 

 Congress elected Prof. Freeh of Breslau. To the American 

 Committee was added R. Ruedemann, the other members being 



C. D. Walcott, H. S. Williams, and Charles Schuchert. Canada 

 is represented by J. F. Whiteaves and Mexico by E. Bose and 

 C. Burckhardt. 



A large geological map of North America, including Green- 

 land, was distributed to the members. It is the joint work of 

 the National Surveys of Canada, United States, and Mexico, and 

 was printed by the U. S. Geological Survey for the Congress. It 

 is understood that this map will undergo further revision and 

 will also eventually appear as one of the Professional Papers of 

 the U. S. Geological Survey. It will supply a great lack in 

 American geology. 



In the main, the following are the titles of papers read by their 

 authors at this Congress : 



F. D. A.dams : Explanation of the Geological map of North America, dis- 

 tributed to the members of the Congress. 



T. Anderson : On the principal results of the Swedish Antarctic expedi- 

 tion. Read by H. Sjogren. 



H. F. Bain : Some relations of paleogeography to ore depositions in the 

 Mississippi Valley. 



C. Burckhardt : Sur l'existence dans le Jurassique superieur mexicain 

 d' Ammonites et Aucelles. 



A. P. Coleman : Interglacial periods of Canada. 



N. H. Darton : Geologic classification in the north-central portion of the 

 United States.
