Extract

THE Pre-Cambrian Association (Association Internationale pour l’Étude du Précambrien et des Vieilles Chaînes de Montagnes) was founded through the efforts of the late Professor J. J. Sederholm. It held its first excursion in Finland, 1931. Officers were elected, including Professor Sederholm as President and Drs. C. E. Wegmann and E. H. Kranck as Secretaries, but no definite policy was adopted. Since then about 130 geologists from many different parts of the world have expressed their interest in the enterprise. At the International Geological Congress in Washington, 1933, two meetings of the Association were held, and Professor E. B. Bailey was asked to organize an excursion to Scotland. This invitation he accepted for 1934, with Dr. W. J. McCallien as local secretary. In anticipation of the Scottish excursion Professor Sederholm and Dr. Kranck, in the absence of Dr. Wegmann, drafted provisional by-laws, and these were circulated.
