18 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 
in Physical Geograhy by Dr. P. S. Smith. For a half-course of 
advanced field work conducted in the months of July and August 
in the Rocky Mountains of Montana by Professor Woodworth, 
the expense is met partly by the funds of the Department, by a_ 
grant from the Corporation, and by fees collected from the 
students. This course is also included in the Joint Announce- 
ment the plan of which was explained in the report of Professor 
Ward upon the Department for 1903-04. 
The Department gratefully acknowledges the gift of $100.00 
from Sir John Murray for a collection of deep-sea deposits. 
In the report of the subcommittee of the Department upon the 
Geological Museum acknowledgment is made of the use of the 
balance of the construction fund for cases in the Geological 
Museum. Dr. G. J. Pfeiffer has deposited, subject to recall at 
his pleasure, a large globe in the Geological Lecture Room. 
During the winter Sir John Murray addressed the Geological 
Conference upon the subject of the Deep Sea and its Deposits, and 
Professor Albrecht Penck spoke on Climatic Variations of the Ice 
Age, Glacial Sculpture of the Alps, and Man and the Ice Age. Mr. 
W. D. Johnson, of the U. 8. Geological Survey, also addressed the 
Conference on The Erosion of Cirques by Glaciers. A list of 
other reports made to the Conference whose meetings were held 
in the Geological Lecture Room is published in the departmental 
pamphlet for 1905-06. 
Professor Shaler continued his lectures on General Geology in 
Course 4, which by reason of its being restricted to students in 
the Lawrence Scientific School was given for the first time in the — 
Geological Lecture Room. He also lectured on Palaeontolog 
in Courses 14 and 15. Mr. 58. A. Starratt as assistant conducted 
laboratory work in Geology 14. This work was made the more 
effective by reason of the transfer of a small series of fossils 
from the Department of Mineralogy and Petrography. Professor 
Shaler was engaged during the year on studies of the distribu- 
tion of the ash deposits in the northern part of the Rocky Moun- | 
tains of the United States, mainly in Montana. 
Professor R. T. Jackson reports that Geology 11 was taken by 
11 students ; 15 by one student, who, on account of leaving Cam- 
bridge early did not complete the work. Geology 20d was taken 
by one student who worked under his direction. Mr, 8S. A. Star- — 
ratt assisted Professor Jackson in Course 11. 
The teaching collections in Palaeontology are in good condition. —
