Internatioual GeoUxjicdl Congress. 289 
The 23d Sept. (5th Oct.) reunion of all the excursionists at Sebasto- 
pol. 
End of the Excursion. 
A guide of the excursion is being printed at this moment, provided 
with a geological map of Russia on a scale of 1 to 6,300,000 (150 versts 
to one English inch), and with numerous special cards, yjrofiles, and 
figures. The members of the Congress may receive this guide, that is 
to say at the latest by the end of April, on payment of ten francs. 
The committee of organization which has taken all possible pains to 
diminish as much as possible the expense of the excursion to the Ural, 
has fixed the price at 150 roubles (400 francs), including subsistence 
from the departure from Moscow to the return to St. Petersburg. This 
price could be secured only thanks to the personal effort of the Minister 
of Agriculture and of the domains of the Empire, his excellency A. Yer- 
molow, to whose jurisdiction the Geological Survey of Russia belongs: 
thanks also to the proprietors and to the administration of thA districts 
having works and to the kindness of the administration of some of the 
cities lying along the route of the excursion, which have been pleased 
to grant the largest hospitality. 
The excursion in Esthonie will cost 50 roubles (135 francs). That in 
Finland is estimated at 50 Finland marks (50 francs.) 
The expense of the great excursion after the Congress (see the three 
variations, but not comprising the excursion to Ararat, to the glacier 
Mamisson, and to Elborous) will amount per person to 250 roubles (665 
francs). The persons who desire to make but one part of the general 
excursion to the Caucasus and in the Crimea, and similarly those who 
will remain in the Caucasus to take part in the special excursion to 
Ararat and to the glacier Mamisson, will have to pay 8 roubles (21 francs) 
for each day passed in the general excursion. The excursion to Ararat 
will cost 100 roubles (270 francs) per person. 
The special excursion to the glacier Mamisson will cost 45 roubles 
(120 francs). 
The participants in the excursion to Elborous will pay 15 roubles (40 
francs) besides the expense of the principal ex(;ursion. 
The excursion from Yahta to Sebastopol by Bakhtchissarai will cost 
15 roubles (120 francs) in addition to the expense of the principal ex- 
cursion. 
In determining the amount of the expense of the excursions, the com- 
mittee on organization deems it a duty to add that in case these expen 
ses should be less, each of the excursionists will receive the part which 
comes to him after the verification of the sums which have been ex- 
pended. 
In the name of the general committee of organization. 
The Bureau, 
A. Karpinsky, President, 
Th. Tschernyschew, General Secretary.
