In January last we referred to the celebrations in honour of this important event.1 We have now the pleasure to call attention to the “History of the Geological Society of London,”2 a work which has been written by Mr. Horace B. Woodward, F.K.S., F.G.S., in commemoration of the Centenary. Mr. Woodward has had the help of Mr. H. W. Monckton, Treasurer, who has described the Medals of the Society, Mr. E. S. Herries, M.A., V.P., who supplies a correct version of the Charter, and Professor E. J. Garwood, M.A., Secretary, who undertook to deal with illustrations. Sir A. Geikie, K.C.B., President, Professor Watts, F.K.S., Secretary, Professor Bonney, F.R.S., and Dr. H. Woodward have assisted by reading the proofs, but they are “not responsible for any individual statements” except where expressly acknowledged. These and other persons are duly thanked for the help afforded.The result of Mr. Woodward' laborious researches has been the production of a book of the greatest possible interest, and one which should be read, not merely by the Fellows of the Geological Society, but by all geologists interested in the history of their science. It is a record of first-class importance, and is, on the whole, a fair and accurate account of the events which have occurred in theGeological Society up to 1860, for the later years are perhaps too fresh in the memories of many to allow of that pleasing view obtained by distance.Opening with a rapid sketch of the histories of academies and learned societies before 1800 and a note on early geological researches in England, the author refers to the Askesian Society, which, founded in 1796, became the parent of the British Mineralogical Society in 1799.

North American Perspective

The Paleontological Society Short Course this year features the history of brachiopod research, especially since the beginning of the revision of Part H, Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, in the early 1990s. The first version of Part H was published in 1965 and the only previous Paleontological Society Short Course to deal with brachiopods was held in 1981 at the Cincinnati meeting of the Geological Society of America. At that time, the day was split between the bryozoans and brachiopods, with a nod to the phoronids, under the rubric of lophophorates.

A.B. Missuna (1869—1922) was one of the first Russian women geologists. The most part of her scientific works were devoted to Quaternary glacial deposits, which she studied in the basins of Viliy, Dvina, Neman at the territory of Belarus and Litva. She designed the method of the terminal moraines studying and discovered new parts of its distribution. Missuna researched magmatic rocks of the Crimea. She was also the author of the works on fossils: Jurassic corals (13 new species), Carboniferous fishes (1 new species) and Miocene diatoms (2 new genuses and 18 new species). She created Geological cabinet at the Moscow Higher Women's Courses and taught there such subjects as petrography, general geology, paleontology, historiacal geology. She organized and conducted with women students the geological excursions in Moscow region, in Crimea, Urals. She was the first woman teacher of geological subjects in Russian Higher School. A.B.Missuna was a full member of the Imperial Moscow Society of Naturalists, St. Petersburg Mineralogical Society, Geological department of Imperial Society of Nature, Anthropology and Ethnography, as well as the member-founder of Russian Paleontological Society (nowadays Paleontological society at the RAS).
