16 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



ruginous and magnetic. The local magnetic anomalies discovered 

 by the Challenger expedition, and the nature of the island are 

 therewith explained. It was intended to report in detail to the 

 Bermuda Biological Station regarding the subject, but the publica- 

 tion of a preliminary note on the same boring by Drs. T. W. 

 Vaughan and L. V. Pirsson showed that it was being carefully 

 studied by competent observers and the writer has withdrawn 

 from the investigation. 



At the request of the President of the University the writer has 

 acted as Chairman of the Geological Department and has assumed 

 charge of Geology 4, the elementary course in geology. He also 

 conducted an advanced course on the Geology of the igneous rocks 

 and another, research, course on the same subject. 



This year the Corporation voted a special fund to furnish the 

 Sturgis Hooper room, hitherto not used, and it is now equipped 

 as an office and as a lecture room for small, advanced classes. 

 The unappropriated balance of the Sturgis Hooper fund has been 

 chiefly expended on drawings for the work on Igneous rocks and 

 their origin.
