Another geological expedition from Princeton will visit the West during the summer.

There is probably no region in the country which offers more varied or more interesting material for geological investigation than this canon. Explorations will be made also to study the remains of the Cliff-dwellers and the Pueblo Indians in the mountains, which are supposed to be rich in specimens and much valuable information is expected to be obtained here...
