1912," has been placed under my direction by the American 

 geographical society of New York. Its object is the celebration 

 of the sixtieth anniversary of the foundation of the Society and 

 the completion and occupancy of its new buildings, by an inter- 

 national excursion across the United States during six or seven 

 weeks in August, September, and October, 1912. 



During the course of the year, visits have been made to St. 

 Louis, on occasion of the November meeting of the National 

 academy of sciences ; to the University of Illinois, for the purpose 

 of giving a brief course of lectures on Geography as a University 

 subject; to Pittsburgh, to attend the meetings of the Geological 

 society of America and of the Association of American geographers ; 

 to the University of Wisconsin to deliver a brief course of lectures; 

 twice to Washington, to consult with certain members of the 

 United States geological survey and address the Geological society 

 of Washington on "Geographical descriptions in geological publi- 

 cations," again to attend the annual meeting of the National 

 academy of sciences; and finally to Philadelphia to take part in 

 the general meeting of the American philosophical society.
