BIBLIOGRAPHY AND INDEX OF NORTH AMERICAN
GEOLOGY, PALEONTOLOGY, PETROLOGY, AND MIN
ERALOGY FOR 1892 AND 1893.
BY FRED BOUGHTON WEEKS.
INTRODUCTION.
This Bibliography and Index is a continuation of the Eecord of
North American.Geology by N. H. Darton,1 though the scope of the
work and its arrangement have been materially changed. The last
Eecord, Bulletin No. 99, embraced publications on geology for 1891.
The present work covers the years 1892 and 1893 and consists of a rec
ord of the papers on North American geology, paleontology, petrology,
and mineralogy contained in the List of Publications following.
Bibliography. The Bibliography consists of full titles of separate
papers, classified by authors, an abbreviated reference to the publica
tion in which the paper is printed, and a brief summary of the con
tents, each paper being numbered for index reference. The extent
of papers less than a single page in length is indicated, as £ p., 5 1.
(lines).
Index. The subject headings, their subdivisions and arrangement,
are shown in the Classified Key to the Index. They comprise geo
graphic, geologic, mineralogic, paleontologic, and petrologic subdivi
sions. Under Economic Geology is given a list of useful minerals and
ores described in publications examined; under Mineralogy, a list of
minerals described in such publications; under Paleontology, a list of
genera and species of fossils therein described; and under Petrology, a
list of rocks described; reference*being made in each case, by author's
name and number of article in the Bibliography, to the paper in which
the fossil, mineral, or rock is described.
The author is under many obligations to different members of the
Survey for suggestions as to the general character and arrangement of
the material comprised in this volume.
