MINERALOGY AND GEOLOGY.

3. These subjects are assigned to a separate class, which the
members of the other classes in the school may attend at their
option. In this class the lectures commence with general Mineralogy,
which is treated with especial reference to Geology, to
which it is designed to be an introduction. In the lectures on
Geology, the specific identity of ancient and modern Geological
causes is pointed out, the present action of these causes, whether
atmospheric, aqueous or igneous considered, and their effects in
the past history of our planet examined. The illustrations
are drawn, as far as possible, from the Geological structure of
Virginia.

The students have an opportunity of familiarizing themselves
with the minerals, rocks and fossils exhibited in the lectures.

Text Books.—Dana, Lyell, Jukes.
