Geological Expedition.

The Department of Geology is preparing to send a party to Gay's Head, Martha's Vineyard, during the April recess, to examine the formation of the cliffs on that headland. The clay and sand strata of this section abound in fossil bones of the order of Cetaceans, to which the whale and the walrus belong. There are also leaf-beds of a representative of the order to which the gigantic red-woods of California belong.

The party is made up of eight students in the Geological Department under the direction of Dr. Jackson and Mr. J. A. Woodworth.
