Intercollegiate Geological Trip.

A year ago an intercollegiate geological excursion under the leadership of Professor Davis visited the terraces of the Westfield valley in western Masschusetts. Six colleges and six secondary schools were represented by forty-six persons.

A second excursion of the same sort will be conducted this year by Professor B. K. Emerson of Amherst to the trap range of Mt. Tom, near Holyoke, on Saturday, November 1. The party will meet at the Cooley House, Springfield, Friday evening, October 31 and will take the train for Holyoke the next morning at 8.30 o'clock. The chief features to be seen on the trip are Triassic trap sheets and sandstones, contacts of trap and sandstone, fossil footprints in sandstone, glacial deposits and Connectieut River terraces. The return to Holyoke will be made in time to eatch the evening train to Boston.

Harvard instructors and students intending to join the excursion are requested to send their names to Professor W. M. Davis, 17 Francis avenue, Cambridge.
