Washington, D.C. Dec 28 Friday
Listened all day to papers before the
B.S.A. The first one was by Laworn telling
what the Research Council is doing, followed
by a full account about the proposed Abstract
Journal. Followed it by a resolution on-
dorsing the project and appealing to those that
dare to make the project possible. It was adop-
ted by the Society.
I then gave a paper showing that the Fox Hills
lies into the Lance, this into the Lobo of the
Fort Union and that the Lance and Lobo join
eastward into the Cannon Ball marine. There-
fore all these things are Cretaceous, and the true
Mesozoic-Cenozoic boundary lies between the
Fort Union and Basalt.
In the afternoon I presented an abstract
of Williams' paper on the geology of the
Franklin Mts. Parks objected to Williams'
conclusion about the arc system as ex-
plained by him. Strome thinks there is no
proof for Beltian deposits.
