Abstract
THE Princeton ‘Summer School of Geology and Natural Resources,’ led and organised by Prof. R. M. Field, has completed its second annual excursion. We started from princeton on July 15 and returned on Aug 24 Meanwhile we traversed and retraversed the north Americancontinent by routes that very seldom intrested xcept for two nights on the steam r b ween Vancouver and Victoria, we slept on th iman that bears the arms of the School. This car has been specially constructed with kitchen, shower-bath, lecture- lantern, screen, etc. Most of our travelling was done at night, to leave the days free for geology. Of twenty-five main halts, one at Bellefonte intro-duced us to the Pennsylvanian Appalachians and another to the southern side of the Niagara gorge; the rest were in Canada. Last years trip was wholly in the United States. Next years is planned for intensive study of the Appalachians. For 1929, there is talk of a motor . car raid upon Scotland and Switzerland.
