Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North American Geologic Formation Names: Bibliography, Synonymy and Distribution This work not only presents a list of formation names, and their synonymy and correlations as given by authors, but-also serves as a bibliography of the literature describing each formation. Mere men tions of occurrence were not entered, but it was intended to include descriptions of a formation which defined it either wholly or in part. It is probably true that the discrimination as to what is a sufficient description to entitle the reference to be included in this catalogue has not been of such a uniform character as it would have been if the prep aration of the catalogue had been wholly the work of one person; but it is not considered less valuable 'on this account, since all the really important descriptions are believed to have been included. No attempt has been made to indicate the synonymy or taxonomic value of any formation except as it was given by the author of the reference cited. It is intended to refer the investigator to the litera ture of any North American geologic formation name, and he must exercise his own judgment as to its value and standing as a formation name. The work of preparing this bulletin has been in progress for nearly three years. It has been interrupted from time to time by other office and field work of the-author. During the winter of 1899 - 1900 it became evident that this work must be completed at once for the use of members of the United States Geological Survey in assigning names to the formations which were being delineated on the folios forming the Geologic Atlas of the United States. The Director of the Survey requested the following geologists to assist in completing the work: Messrs. M. R. Campbell, N. H. Darton, J. S. Diller, G. H. Girty, C. W. Hayes, F. H. Knowlton, F. L. Ransome, G. O. Smith, A. C. Spencer, T. W. Stanton, J. A. Taff, T. W. Vaughan, and David White. The literature that then remained to be examined was apportioned among these gentlemen, and since that time the material has been brought down to January 1, 1901, by the author. The methods of preparing this material, previously adopted, were followed with as much uniformity as was possible, and the author, as well as geologists in general, is greatly indebted to these gentlemen who assisted in bringing the work to an early completion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Use of the Name Taconic It is a creed among geologists, a creed which has just received a new sanction and acknowledgment at the meeting of the Com mission for the uniformity of nomenclature of the International Geological Congress at Geneva, in August last, that 110 system of stratified rocks is accepted as independent and separate, unless it contain a special fauna. Sedgwick did not find a single fossil in the lower part, of what he called, in 1835, the Cambrian sys =tem, and he had 110 right to include it in the Cambrian. We have there two systems of strata as well marked and separated as any of the different systems in existence in our classifications. The Taconic system is the only Terrain 01° division of the sec ond order that can be claimed by American geologists in the gen eral classification of the strata of the world; and to surrender it it into the hands of the English is to give up the only claim we have to be recognized as original discoverers. Certainly, we shall preserve also all the classifications of the divisions of the third (divisions), fourth groups) and fifth (beds), orders special to' America; and on that account thereis not the smallest danger to be apprehended of their being suppressed or superseded by European geologists. But it is a patriotic duty for as Americans to preserve and keep religiously, the fact that here, among the mountain °anges which separate the Hudson river and Lake Champlain from the Connecticut river and the Green mountains, the great system, containing the Primordial fauna, was first discovered, pointed out and named.
