Abstract
LIVERPOOL.—The council has appointed Dr. P. G. H. Boswell as first holder of the George Herdman chair of geology. Prof. Boswell graduated with first. class honours in geology in the University of London, and obtained the degree of D.Sc. in 1915. He has for some years past been lecturer in geology at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, and has published many original contributions to geological science. The establishment of a chair of geo. logy in the University has been long delayed, and is now possible owing to the generosity of Prof. and Mrs. Herdman, who have endowed the chair as a memorial to their son, the late Lieut. George Herd-man. Prof. Boswell will enter upon his duties in October next.
