In Alupka, 15 Primorskaya Street, the widow of the late geologist, the scholar Mushketov,\(^1\) who rendered great services to the study of the geology of Russia, is being evicted from the dacha of Medzhe, where she occupies one room. I request, if possible, to cancel the eviction or to provide another entirely suitable dwelling.

\(^1\) D. I. Mushketov—member of the shale committee and director of the Mining Institute in Petrograd. In the spring of 1919, under Mushketov's direction, work was organised on the development of shale deposits, mainly in the vicinity of Weymarn, Baltic Railway.
