Extract

We are glad to be able to present our readers with a portrait of Sir Archibald Geikie, F.R.S., the distinguished President of the Geological Society of London, who, on account of his very large and important contributions to our science, was last year unanimously elected a second time President of the Society in anticipation of its centenary, which will take place on November 13th, 1907, he having been deemed the most fit and proper Fellow to represent the Society as its chief officer upon so important and memorable an occasion in its history.
