REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND 
GEOGRAPHY. 
By Recrnatp A. Daty. — 
In the past year no permanent changes were made in the per- 
sonnel of this Department, which, however, then first felt the vitaliz- 
ing benefit of the several additions to its staff which were described 
in the last report to the Director. The serious illness of Professor 
Woodworth in the autumn made it necessary to supply his place 
as instructor in Geology 8, an important course in general geology; 
the Department was fortunate in securing the services of Prof. 
A. C. Lane of Tufts College, who conducted that course until 
Professor Woodworth had recovered. The assistants appointed 
for the year were:— Messrs. W. P. Haynes, E. Wigglesworth, and 
Y.S. Bonillas (in Geology 4); and Messrs. C. F. Brooks and A. 
Wandtke (in Geology A, now Geology 1). Mr. Haynes acted also 
as assistant in Geology 5, as instructor in the summer course S15, 
and instructed in geology at Radcliffe College. 
The reopening of the geographical courses was largely responsible 
for a notable increase in the amount of instruction given by the 
Department. In the winter session of the University the total 
number of takings was 367 (completed courses or half-courses of 
study); these were distributed through 18 courses and half-courses. 
In the preceding year the takings were 232, distributed through 
15 courses and half-courses. ‘The summer field-course in Montana 
was continued by Professor Woodworth (7 students), and a new 
summer course operating in Quebec and New Brunswick was con- 
ducted by Dr. Haynes (8 students) in 1914. Professor Woodworth 
supervised the work of one student in the research summer course, 
S20c. Owing to the continuous, intensive nature of all these sum- 
mer courses, they are among the most valuable of those offered by 
this Department. Six half courses in Radcliffe College were com- 
pleted by 48 students, as against 3 half-courses with 24 students in 
the preceding year. 
Messrs. D. C. Barton, C. F. Brooks, and W. P. Haynes were suc- 
cessful in winning the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field 
of Geology and Geography. 
Coéperation with the geological department of the Massachu- 
_ setts Institute of Technology has been continued. For some years
