...region around Lake Champlain, New York, rich in Paleozoic rocks, crystalline rocks, glacial, and post-glacial formations, will furnish an abundance of material for students who have completed courses in Geology 4 and 5 or their equivalent. The party, under the tutelage of A. C. Swinnerton, professor at Antioch College, will be formed at Ticonderoga, New York, July 7. From there, the group will continue to the borders of Lake Champlain, near which a five weeks' study of field methods and geologic structure will ensue. Members of the party will have tents and cots furnished for their...
...German Condor Line which also parallels much of the Aeropostale route, and Pan American Airways which intends to parallel NYRBA all the way to Buenos Aires?unless the Aviation Corp. of the Americas, which owns Pan American, buys control of NYRBA and so ends U. S. competition in the region. Another watcher of the fray is a little known U. S. concern, Paris American Airways, which competes with Pan American from Porto Rico to Trinidad, crossing en route Guadeloupe and Martinique. Another observer is the Colonial government of the Bahamas. Governor Charles William James Orr from his hill-cresting House...
...Nova Scotia. Cape Cod, Long Island, northern Pennsylvania, and the Ohio valley; and recent studies, especially by Antevs, indicate that the front of this sheet began to rot approximately 25,000 years ago. As a natural outgrowth of this everyday conception, we are inclined to infer that all the region south of the entire Labrador Peninsula was similarly crossed and denuded by the last or Wisconsin ice-sheet...
...unquestionably crossed by very recent ice. Here (at Burgeo) the granitic hills are absolutely stripped of all soil and rotten rock-mantle, and the conspicuously striated ledges contain gourges which look as if they might have been hacked only yesterday by a sharp mattock or heavy chisel. In this region, too, great boulders as large as small houses are scattered irregularly over the hills, the boulders having fresh and undecayed surfaces...
...systematic botanist, this region, which has never been glaciated or was glaciated only during an early glacial advance, is dramatically interesting; for, as we are now learning to expect, in such regions there are hundreds of plants now living which are so conservative that they have never migrated into the adjacent regions recently covered by Wisconsin...
