...many years geologists have thought that this region was composed of lacustrine strata, and it is only recently that a theory has been advanced against this view. Professor Davis made a trip to Wyoming last year, and procured enough evidence to warrant a consideration of these later views, although he made a very short examination of the valley. He found ample evidence of fluvial deposits and cross bedding which seem to point to the conclusion that the whole valley was once a shallow lake or flood plain, and not a deep permanent body of water...
Professor Davis has just returned from a two weeks trip to the mountains of North Carolina. He ascended Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, and crossing the Blue Ridge at several points, continued the examination of the different strata. Some account of his observations will be given at an early meeting of the Geological Conference...
Professor Davis and Professor Jackson intend to conduct during the April recess a geological excursion, with such students as desire to accompany them, to the districts about Syracuse, New York. The series of fossiliferous strata are well shown there, as well as certain remarkable examples of gorges, which were cut by temporary rivers along the retreating margin of the ice sheet during the closing stages of the glacial period...
Professor Dorpfeld, by means of a vertical section of the hill, which showed the different strata one above the other, made it very clear how Schliemann came to overlook the upper citadel...
