Abstract
AT the eighteenth session of the International Geological Congress held in London during August last, the Association of African Geological Surveys held a series of four meetings at which recent advances in the geology of Africa were announced, and discussions of special interest took place. The meetings were of truly international character, and the great interest they aroused is clear from the large attendances and the very considerable number of papers that were presented. Indeed, in many cases only the briefest time could be given to the reading of the papers, but the discussions on the important problems dealt with were of special value. The meetings bore striking testimony to the results already obtained by international co-operation in the whole field of African geology, and in addition indicated the means by which this co-operation could be fruitfully extended.
