Geology Department

Recently the department acquired two major items of equipment. The X-Ray Spectrograph, to be used for Research in the Geology, Chemistry and Physics departments; and the new Land Rover, to enable the department to broaden its scope in field work.

This year a course in Pedology will be introduced into the Geology curriculum. Apart from this there are no major changes in course policy.

During the summer vacation two expeditions will be sent to the Antarctic. A five-man team will map the Darwin Glacier, and a two man team will go to the Hot Lakes area.

There are no new members on the Staff at the moment, but there are one or two appointments to be made at a later date.—B. G. Mills.
