1040 The American Naturalist. [November, 
The annual Excursion of the Geological Society of France for 1893 
covered the region at the Nothern base of the Eastern Pyrenees. The 
region presents a great deal of interest to the Geologist and is remarka- 
bly complex, embracing Archean, Mesozoic and Cenozoic beds of 
several systems. 
The Naturalist attached to the Antarctic Sealing and Whaling fleet 
that recently sailed from Dundee, Scotland, have returned and sent in 
their reports. They had few opportunies of landing on the supposed 
Antarctic continent, but they obtained specimens of Eruptive and 
Schistose rocks, and some fossils of Jurassic age.
