A worked Flint from the Gravel-beds (? Pleistocene) in the Valley of the Tomb of the Kings, near Luxor (Thebes), Egypt, ex- hibited by John E. H. Peyton, Esq., F.G.S. Specimens of Voluta Lambertl from the Coralline Crag, and of Cyprina angulata from the Blackdown beds, exhibited by W. H. Dalton, :Esq,.,F.G.S. Upon these specimens the following note by Mr. Dalton was read :--" The attention of the Society being directed to the Blackdown beds, it may be worth while to note a peculiar feature in the specimen exhibited of Gyprina angulata, Fleming, belonging to the Museum of Practical Geology, and brought here to- night by the kind permission of the Director-General of the Geolo- gical Survey. "The valve, lying with its concavity downwards, has but partially imbedded itself in the sediment, and in subsequent silicification a film of chalcedony has been deposited on the free surface of the matrix within the shell. "Similar surfaces are shown by the casts of Voluta Lamberti, Sowerby, also here exhibited, from the collection of Mr. H. Stopes, F.G.S. These were found in a small quarry of the Coralline Crag rock-bed at Aldborough. They show that as the shells lay on the sea-bed, the upper part of each whorl was occupied by gases arising from the decomposition of the animal, to the exclusion of the cal- careous mud, which could only rise to the crest of the arch of each successive suture. Its surface within the shell was not a plane, tike that of the Blackdown specimen, but shows, for each whorl, an upward bulge in the centre, an annular depression near the edge, and a rise from this hollow to the interior surface of the shell, indi- cating the effect of alternating pressures (probably tidal) acting, through the mouth of the shell, on the elastic cushion of imprisoned gases, which would have escaped by the spiral, had the shells been rolled over two or three times only by currents." November 19, 1884. Prof. T. G. BON~.Y, D.Sc., LL.D., F.R.S., President, in the Chair.

  • The Problem of the Brisbane Tuff
    50 VoL. XLV., No. 11. The Problem of the Brisbane Tuff. By PROFESSOR H. C. RICHARDS, D. Sc., and W. H. BRYAN, D. Sc. (Department of Geology, University of Queensland). PLATES IV.-VI. ( Accepted for publication by the Roya� Society of Qiu!ensland, 30th November, 1933). · 1. INTRODUCTION. The following paper recor�s an attempt to discover the ongm, and explain the mode of formation of the rock now known as the Brisbane Tuff. While the authors long ago realised that this rock possessed a number of unusual features, their doubts as to its true nature were revived and strengthened when a section showing well­ developed columnar structure was exposed in the municipal quarry at Windsor some three miles north of the centre of the city of Brisbane. A more detailed examination disclosed other anomalous features, but a search of the literature showed that the characters displayed by the Brisbane Tuff, although rare, were not unique but could be closely paralleled in the "Great Hot Sand Flow" of Alaska and in the "Ignimbrites " of New Zealand, while they also resembled in certain respects the " Nitees ardentes" of Mt. Pelee. In the pages which follow only those features that have a direct bearing on the origin and nature of the Eris bane Tuff will be con­ sidered. For a more general account the reader is referred. to the paper by Mrs. C. Briggs (1928) published in these proceedings. 2. EARLIER VIEWS AS TO ORIGIN AND MODE OF FORMATION. The rock which is now knpwn as the Eris bane Tuff was first described by Leichhardt (1855) who examined the rock on his visit to Brisbane in 1844.

    Gerhard vom ßath Eine Lebensskizze. Vorgetragen von H. Laspeyres auf der General-Versammlung des naturhistorisclien Vereins der preussischen Rheinlande, Westfalens und des Reg.-Bez. Osnabrück zu Bonn am 22. Mai 1888. Hochgeehrte Herren! Ein langjähriges Mitglied unseres naturhistorischen Vereins, welches bei unseren Wanderversammlungen in den Pfingsttagen und bei den Herbstversammlungen in diesem Vereinshause uns so oft durch die liebenswürdigen Gaben seines Gemüthes sowie durch seine inhaltsreichen Vorträge zu fesseln verstand, und von welchem wir noch vor wenigen Wochen mit Sicherheit hoffen konnten, dasselbe bei dieser am Sitze des Vereins tagenden Pfingstversammlung in ungebrochener Geistesfrische und in körperlicher Gesundheit von Neuem zu begrüssen, — dieses Mitglied — finden Sie heute nicht hier in diesem Kreise, Sie sehen es nie wieder in unserer Mitte. Ein unerwarteter, ein jäher Tod hat Gerhard vom Rath, diesen vortrefflichen hochgeehrten Mann, vor wenigen Wochen dahin­ gerafft und erfüllt uns Alle mit schmerzlicher Trauer um seinen Verlust. Durch die schwere, jüngst über Deutschland eingebrochene Zeit der Trauer um den Tod unseres greisen Heldenkaisers Wilhelm, wie um das bange Leiden unseres nie entmuthigten Kaisers Friedrich gleich uns Allen im Gemüth bedrückt und an Geist wie Körper er­ müdet durch übermässige Jahresarbeit und Geistesforschung, welche den Antritt der schon lange geplanten Erholungsreise immer wieder und wieder hinausgeschoben hatten, trat v. Rath endlich am 19. April mit seiner Lebensgefährtin seine zunächst nach Italien gerichtete Reise an. Sah man ihm auch wohl die Spuren der geistigen Ermüdung an, so waren doch sein Gang und seine Haltung frisch und lebhaft wie immer und straften seine wiederholt vor der Reise zum Aus­ druck gebrachte, gedrückte Stimmung und seine Befürchtungen Lügen.

The list of donations to the library since the last meeting was read, and the thanks of the Association were accorded to the donors. The following were elected members of the Association :­ Miss Mary Forster and F. A. Harrison. The following papers were read :- 'On the North-west Highlands and their teachings/ by Pro­ fessor J. F. Blake, M.A., F.G.S. 'On the Stratigraphy and Metamorphism of the Rocks of the Durness-Eriboll district,' by Professor Charles Lapworth, LL.D., F.G.S., a letter to J. H.

THE NORTH-WEST HIGHLANDS AND THEIR TEAOHINGS. By REV. J. F. BLAKE, M.A., F.G.S., Professor of Natural Science, University College, Nottingham. Those who have watched by the advancing tide will have seen that ever and anon a larger wave than usual comes rushing round some unrecovered spot and secures it for the sea j and so the tide comes in. Such waves occur in science, and if, as in geology, there be several fields, one after another thus absorbs the attention of the advancing army. So Palooontology has had its day, and Petrology is in its dawn. As once all hands were eager for the fossil, now all eyes are anxious for the slice.

    ROCK STARS Archibald Geikie (1835–1924): A Pioneer Scottish Geologist, Teacher, and Writer Rasoul Sorkhabi, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, USA; [email protected] years later, but there he learned how to write reports. Meanwhile, he read every geology book he could find, including John Playfair’s Illustrations of the Huttonian Theory, Henry de la Beche’s Geological Manual, Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology, and Hugh Miller’s The Old Red Sandstone. BECOMING A GEOLOGIST In the summer of 1851, while the Great Exhibition in London was attracting so many people, Geikie decided instead to visit the Island of Arran in the Clyde estuary and study its geology, aided by a brief report by Andrew Ramsay of the British Geological Survey. Geikie came back with a report titled “Three weeks in Arran by a young geologist,” published that year in the Edinburgh News. This report impressed Hugh Miller so much that the renowned geologist invited its young author to discuss geology over a cup of tea. Miller became Geikie’s first mentor. In this period, Geikie became acquainted with local scientists and pri- vately studied chemistry, mineralogy, and geology under Scottish naturalists, such as George Wilson, Robert Chambers, John Fleming, James Forbes, and Andrew Ramsay—to whom he con- fessed his desire to join the Geological Survey. In 1853, Geikie visited the islands of Skye and Pabba off the coast Figure 1.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel.
