A Lecturer on Geology, including Mineralogy, has been appointed by the Court in accordance with Ordinance No. 17 General No. 10) of the Scottish Universities Commission of 1889. Winter Session. I. Course consisting of 100 Lectures (including 20 Demonstrations), and embracing the following subjects : 1. A Historical Sketch of the rise of British Geology. 2. Geognosy.-An inquiry into the materials of the earth's substance. This branch is considered under the following divisions: (a) The Envelopes-Air and Water. (b) The Solid Crust. (c) The Probable Condition of the Interior. It includes also two more specialised sections: Mineralogy. The study of minerals, and a description of the more important and typical forms. Petrography.-The study of rocks - their megascopic and microscopic characters, composition, origin, and distribution. 3. Dynamical Geology.-A discussion of the nature and operation of geological agents: (a) Superficial or Epigene Action-the Atmosphere, Rain, Terrestrial Waters, Ice, the Sea, Plants, and Animals. (b) Subterranean or Hypogene Action Volcanoes, Movements of the Earth's Crust. 4. Structural Geology.-An inquiry into the architecture of the Earth's Crust, and of the relations of rock-masses to each other in the field. 5. Palæontological Geology.-An investigation into the organic remains preserved within the crust, and of the way in which they are used in Geology. 6. Stratigraphical or Historical Geology. This branch is concerned in tracing out the order in time in which the great formations of the earth's crust were formed, and gives an account of the changes through geological time of the animals and plants which have lived upon its surface. 7. Physiographical Geology.-An inquiry into the origin of the present features of the earth's surface. In addition to the Lectures and Demonstrations, some of the Saturdays are given to Field Excursions to places of geological interest in the neighbourhood. II.
