The South Africa Meeting of the International Geological Congress

Abstract

THE High Court of geological opinion met for the first time in 1878 at Paris, with a membership of 310. Since that year there have been thirteen meetings, held at intervals of three years or so, at various capitals or other centres in Europe as well as in North and Central America; the long interval of nine years which separated the twelfth meeting in Canada during 1913 from the thirteenth session at Brussels in 1922 was due to the War and its aftermath.
