Meetings of Geological Conference.

Two special meetings of the Geological Conference will be held next week on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, November 14 and 16, at 4.30 o'clock, in the Geological Lecture Room of the University Museum. At both of these meetings Sir. Jonhn Murray, the distinguished oceanographer of Edinburgh, Scotland, will speak on "Problems in Oceanography." The speaker was a member of the Challenger Exploring Expedition, sent out by Great Britain from 1873 to 1876, and has in subsequent years been one of the chief editors of the great series of scientific monographs in which the result of that expedition have been published. He has lately attended the meeting of the Eighth international Geographic Congress in Washington, New York, and St. Louis, and is now returning from the excursion that went to the Colorado Canon and Mexico after the adjournment of the Congress.

The conferences next week will be open to members of the division of Biology and Geology.
