Abstract
AT the meeting of the Geological Society of London on November 20, Prof. C. P. Berkey and Prof. P. D. Quensel were elected foreign members, and Prof. F. Broili and Dr. E. P. de Oliveira foreign correspondents, of the Society. Prof. Charles P. Berkey, of Columbia University, is well known to geologists in Great Britain as the secretary of the Geological Society of America, a position he has held since 1922. His publications cover a wide field, but in recent years have been principally devoted to the geology of Mongolia, and have appeared as the reports of the Central Asiatic Expeditions of the American Museum of Natural History. Prof. Percy Quensel, of the University of Stockholm, has on several occasions lectured in Great Britain. His researches have been devoted principally to the elucidation of the problems of the petrology and structural features of the older rocks of Sweden; but he has also published papers on the geology and petrology of Patagonia. Prof. Ferdinand Broili, of the University of Munich, is noted for his studies on the fossil reptiles and Stegocephalians, and has also published papers on the Permian brachiopods and the Devonian trilobites. Dr. Euzebio Paulo de Oliveira is the director of the Servico Geologico e Mineralogico do Brasil. His published works have been principally descriptive of the mineral resources of Brazil.
