The sub-committee on the Josiah Dwight Whitney Scholarship 

 reports that two scholarships, of $100. — each, were given to Mr. 

 Sedgwick Smith and to Mr. G. B. Roorbach, students in the 

 summer course in geology given in Montana; and that S45. — was 

 allotted to Mr. W. G. Reed, Jr., for geographic work in central 

 France under the direction of Professor Johnson. 



The following abstracts of the reports made to the Chairman 

 by the Instructors in the Department give details as to the different 

 courses, and set forth the condition of the laboratories. 



Professor Jackson reports that Geology II was taken by three 

 undergraduates and two graduates; Geology 15 was taken by

 themselves of the advantages offered. During the year Professor 

 Jackson has been engaged in work on a monograph on Palaeozoic 

 Echini.

 mentary Meteorology (Geology B) have been changed from 3.30

 number of slides condemned since beginning of collection.
