At its meeting of October 28, 1977, the Faculty of Science 

unanimously approved the inclusion of three additional Geography courses 

in the Geography B.Sc. Program. These courses were apparently omitted 

in error from the program approved by Senate on June 6, 1977. 

The additional courses are described in the attached 

memorandum from Michael C. Roberts and are herewith submitted to the 

Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies for further consideration.
