Abstract
THE first half of the course of Swiney Lectures on geology are being delivered (December 6-17) by Dr. Douglas A. Allan, director of the Royal Scottish Museum, at the Museum itself in Chambers Street, Edinburgh. The general title covering the twelve lectures is "The Geology and Scenery of Scotland". This is the first time that Swiney Lectures, which are under the direction of the British Museum (Natural History), have been given outside London, and Mr. N. B. Kinnear, director of the Museum, presided at the opening lecture. The last six lectures will be delivered at the same place at 5.30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during January 17-28, 1949.
