At the close of the visit of Sir Archibald to Baltimore on 
Monday, May .3d, he passed several days in Washington. On 
'NVednesda}^ May 5th, he delivered an address before the Geo- 
logical Society of Washington upon "-Notes for a correlution 
hefireen the Teriiiiry volcanic succession i)i northern Evro^ie 
and in western America.'''' After the lecture a reception was 
tendered to hiiu by the members of the U. S. Geological Sur- 
vey. Upon Thursday a visit was made to Bryn Mawr college,

was drawn up and signed by Sir Arcliibald Geikieand the en- 
tire company of geologists: 
To the Board of Commissioners of the Maryland Geohyjical Survey 
and the State Geokxjist. 
Gentlemen: We have spent the last four days in a most interesting 
inspection of Maryland's geology, under conditions which your hospit- 
able forethought has made peculiarly favorable. Our appreciation of 
the provisions inade for the comfort of the party is keen, and our enjoy- 
ment of the excursion has been all that you could have wished it. In 
twice traversing the state of Maryland, opportunity has been afforded 
us of observing its mineral wealth, and in coming in contact with a wide 
range of phenomena illustrative of many of the aspects of geology. 
The field is rich, and it affords opportunities for inquiries which may 
add honor and wealth to the commonwealth, contributing at the same 
time to the sum of human knowledge. The exploitation of these op- 
portunities will be safe under your guidance, and we wish you a speedy 
success.
