Professor W. M. Davis of the Department of Geology will leave for eastern Europe on April 17 and in Baku on the Caspian Sea, will join Professor R. Pumpelly of Newport, formerly Professor of Geology in Harvard. Professor Davis and Professor Pumpelly will then make a trip of four months through western Asia, to study the geology and geography of that region. They will cross the Caspian, pass Mero, and proceed to Samarkand and Tashkeut. On their return they will cross the plains, passing the Sea of Aral and the southern end of the Ural Mountains, to Orenboorg in southeastern Russia. From Orenboorg they will return to the United States, and Professor Davis will be in Cambridge at the opening of the next College year.
