Prof. Stuart Weller, of the University of Chicago, was then 
introduced by the president and deHvered an interesting address on 
*'The Northern Rocky Mountains." The lecturer gave an account 
of the work done during the previous summer by an expedition 
sent out by the United States government to determine and mark 
the boundary Hne between the state of Montana and the British 
province of Alberta. The lecture was illustrated with lantern 
slides showing the scenery, geology and topography of the region 
traversed. One of the most striking features represented was an 
extraordinary fault, with over-thrust, resulting in the super-po- 
sition of primary rocks above later cretaceous formations. 
A vote of thanks was extended to the lecturer. 
The meeting then adjourned.
