...eighteen men who are taking Geology 22 under Dr. Jagger are engaged in a systematic geological survey of the Metropolitan District of Boston, with a view to the publication of an accurate map of the area, based on the new topographical work of the United States Geological Survey. Dr. Jagger is a regular officer of this survey, and the men in the course act as volunteer assistants. For the past two years the class has completed maps and collections of small parts of the area; this year the whole area is under survey, from Marblehead and Nantasket on the east...
