...outcrop of quartz schist and amphibolite, these being "buried peaks," which the glacial scouring has revealed below the Triassic conglomerate. Fragments of these rocks may be traced in the conglomerate for miles southward. This is in the centre of the interesting Triassic or New Red Sandstone region, the source of the "fossil foot-marks" exhibited in the hallway of our geological laboratories. The question as to whether these are the footprints of reptiles or of birds has long been a subject of controversy...
...afternoon will be devoted to the study of the Bernardston series of Upper Devonian metamorphic rocks, and the contact of the Triassic sandstone, where it rests unconformable on the older rocks. The region is one of the most interesting, geologically, in New England, and we are especially privileged in having the opportunity to go with Professor Emerson as leader of the party, he having devoted many years to the study and geological mapping of the central portion of the state...
...large hall in the museum is already devoted to the Hemenway collection from the Moqui region. This hall is open to the public and is well worthy of a visit by all interested in Indian ceremonials and in the remarkable pottery from the Moqui region. Many of the designs of this pottery are of interest from their symbolism and artistic merit...
...speak, of the sky for the past eight years. During this time nearly 60,000 photographs of the skies at differet times have been taken. As soon as a star is noticed with hydrogen lines on its spectrum, a reference is immediately made to the photpraphs made in that region where the star is found. From these different photographs it can be learned whether the star is always of the same brightness. This method leads to the discovery of more variable stars here than in any other place, as the Harvard Observatory is the only one which uses this system...
...northeastern part of France may be divided into three parts drained by the Seine, the Meuse and the Moselle respectively. The region drained by the Meuse is very narrow. The river itself is like the trimmed Lombardy poplars which grew along the roadsides in France, having a long slim trunk and few branches. Unlike the Meuse the Seine and the Moselle draw their waters from a wide area...
