LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

Hon. J. J. Crawford, State Mineralogist:

I have the honor to submit this bibliography for publication
by the State Mining Bureau, with the following brief remarks:

The literature relating to the natural resources of California
is widely scattered, and, to a great extent, inaccessible to any
one but the specialist.

The few descriptions of fossils printed in the State Geological
Reports were issued nearly thirty years ago. Since that date a
large number of papers on geology, palaeontology, and descrip-
tions of local mining regions have appeared, either in the trans-
actions of learned societies or in special publications with but a
limited distribution. In many cases these descriptions have
been brief, and those of fossils without illustrations.

Besides these, there are many articles incorporated in the
official publications of the United States, and in volumes whose
very existence is almost unknown to the general reader.

I have labored to bring this mass of literature together and
make it accessible to the student and general reader. Some
may ask, What is the advantage of such a catalogue? But let
them take up any special line of investigation, and the first
thing wanted will be a list of books of reference to know what
has been published on the subject.

To the compiler such compilations are dry and laborious, and
many think afterward I could do better; but let all those who
think so, labor to improve this catalogue.

The palaeontologist has to deal with the different species under
each genus. I have, therefore, included a full list of fossils
under each reference, which will save the student many a weary

viii Letter of Transmittal.

hour of laborious research through many volumes and trans-
actions of learned societies.

The catalogue has been arranged under different heads, such
as State geological reports, transactions of learned societies,
etc., which will give the student a direct reference to the con-
tents of different publications.

The palaeontology of California differs greatly from that of
the Atlantic States in the existence of an extensive bed of the
Tertiary formation, with but few of the older formations, indi-
cating that the elevation of the Paciffc Coast was chiefly made
since the Mesozoic age, and a great part of it as late as the
Quaternary. Nearly all the coast ranges and the low foothills
of the Sierra Nevada are covered with thick beds which contain
fossils identical with living species, with others extinct along
the Californian shores, but living farther to the north or south.

To make a complete catalogue, works on recent conchology of
the Pacific Coast should be included, but the author has deemed
it best to omit the most of them.

Part IV of the catalogue contains an alphabetical list of
miscellaneous publications. Many of them are references to
early reports on gold and other minerals, including trips to the
gold fields of California. All of these are not strictly geolog-
ical reports, but now and then they contain valuable references
to local geology. The author regrets that he has been unable
to give many notes in this part, most of the works being inac-
cessible.

Report on the Palaeontology of the survey; by T. A. Con-
rad. Chapter XXIX, pp. 189-196, with 10 plates.

The author remarks that the Miocene of Santa Barbara contains a
group of shells more analogous to the fossils of the Atlantic slope
than to the existing shells of California ; but it is evident that there
must be subdivisions in the Tertiary deposits of California, which
range between the Eocene and Pliocene periods, for the group of the
Estrella Valley and Santa Ynez (Barbara) Mountains does not appear
to contain one species, even, analogous to any in the Santa Barbara
beds, and, on the contrary, some of them remind us of the existing
Pacific fauna.

The author describes and figures the following new species:

From Santa Margarita, Salinas Valley : Hinnetes crassa.

From San Rafael Hills and Santa Barbara County : Pecten Meeki;
P. altiplicatus ; Arcopagia undo.

From Carrizo Creek, Colorado Desert, and Estrella River Valley:

Observations on certain Eocene fossils described as Cretaceous
by Mr. W. M. Gabb in his report published in the Palaeon-
tology of California; by T. A. Conrad. Am. Jour. Conch.,
Vol. 1, 1865, pp. 362-365.

The author remarks that Mr. Gabb makes two divisions of his Cre-
taceous strata, A and B. The former is, doubtless, Cretaceous ; and
the latter, I am sure, will prove to be older Eocene. Fusus Califor-
nicus, Gabb, the author does not recognize as " my ? Clavatula Cali-
fornica." Volutilithes Navarroensis belongs to "my genus RosteUites.^'
Fusus Remondi is a species of Perissolaz allied to P. penita. Amaurop-
sis alveata is a species of Globularia. Fiscus mamillatus is probably
Sycotypus modeshis, Conrad. Perissolax is a genus nearly related to
Sycotypus. Chemnitzia Spillmani is very distinct from any species I
described under that name. Aturia Matheivsoni is Atuira zic-zac.
Dosinia elevata is Dosineopsis alta. D. Uvasana is Dione ovata, Rogers.
Meekia sella is probably Cyprina hisecta. M. navis is a species of Yoldia.
Mactra Asburneri is propbably M. albaria, Conrad. Nucula truncata —
two species are evidently confounded under this name. Leda pro-
texta f— there are two species here united, neither of which is the
protexta— one Eocene, the other Cretaceous.

A reply to these criticisms of Mr. Conrad is given by Mr. W. M.
Gabb in the second volume, pp. 87-92.

Palaeontology of California; byW. M. Gabb. Am. .Jour.

Further observations on Mr. Gabb's Palaeontology of California;
by T. A. Conrad. Am. Jour. Conch., Vol. 2, 1866, pp.
97-100.

The author remarks that Volutilithes Navarroensis has the external
sculpture and form of a species of Rostellites found in New Jersey.
Perissolax, Gabb, is limited to one species, but it is very different
from Busy con Blakei, Conrad. Hemifusus Ilorni, 11. Cooper i, and //.
Rimondi, Gabb, and Fusus mamillatus, Gabb, are members of my
proposed genus Ficopsis. Amauropsis alveata, Gabb, is a member of
Lamarck's genus Ampullina. Venericardia Jlorni, Gabb, is a very
different variety from the V. planicosta. Hamites Vancouverensis I
believe to be an Ancyloceras. Ptycoceras aiqincostatus is more likely
to be Hamites. Neptunea curvirostris I believe to represent an unde-
scribed genus.

The controversy which, for a long time, was maintained between
Conrad and Gabb as to the age of the Tejon rocks of California,

Publications of Scientific Societies. 47

referred by Conrad to the Eocene and by Gabb to represent the
uppermost member of the Cretaceous (Division B of tlie California
Reports), can be found in the following papers :

Heilprin, in his article on the age of the Tejon rocks, etc., Proc.

rad finally yielded his position, but he has been unable to discover
the evidence of such a change of opinion in any of that author's
writings."

California, elevation of, during the Tertiary epoch; by T. A.
Conrad. Am. Jour. Sci., 1st ser., Vol. 35, 1839, p. 245.

In the author's article, "Notes on American Geology," in this jour-

found shells of recent species two hundred feet above the sea. These
are so much more remote from the axis of elevation than the Ter-
tiary shell of New York that the uplift of the Rocky Mountains must
have been far greater during the upper Tertiary period than was any

near Astoria; by T. A. Conrad. Am. Jour. Sci., 2d ser.,
Vol. 5, 1848, pp. 432-433. 14 woodcuts.

The author describes and figures the following fossils, principally
- from cement-stone bowlders at Astoria, Oregon : Nxicula devaricata,
n.sp.; N.cuneiformis, n.sp.; N. abrupta, n.sip.; Mactraalbaria, n.sp.', Tel-
Una Oregonensis, n.sp.; T. obruta, n.sp.', Loripes parilis, n.sp.; Cytherea
Oregonensis, n.sp.; C. vespertina, n.sp.; Nucula penitn, n.sp.; Bullina
petrosa, n.sp.; Pyrula modesta, n.sp.; Fusus Oregonensis, n.sp.; Solen
curtus, n.sp.

The following species were collected by the writer at Astoria, and
sent to the American Museum at New York. As the list is unpub-
lished, it may be well to include it as a note to Mr. Conrad's paper:
Nucula devaricata, Con.; N. impressa, Con.; Tellina albaria. Con.; So-
lemya ventricosa, Con.; Pecten propatulus, Con.; Area devincta, Con.;
Venus bisecta, Con.; Pectunculus nitens, Con.; Venus angustifrons, Con.;
Tellina emacerata, Con.; T. arctata. Con.; Lucina aculitmeata, Con.;
Cardita sublenta, Con.; Terebratula nitens, Con.; Dolium jyetrosium,
Con.; Eostellaria indurata, Con.; Fusus geniculus; Sigeretus(Lumatia)
scopulosa; Teredo substriatus; A dentalium; Naulitus angulatus,
Con. Besides these there are three or four species of bivalves and
^ four of Gasteropods, undetermined, and one Brachipod. These
fossils were collected from the cement stones and argillaceous shales ;
all belong to one geological period, as the same species are found in
each to some extent, though most are different.

The Shasta-Chico series; by J. S. Diller and T. W. Stanton.
Bull. Geol. Sci. of America, Vol. o, pp. 435-464. April
12, 1894.

The authors give the following conclusions : That the discovery of
Coralliochama Orcutti, in the basal portion of the Chico beds, in the
Sacramento Valley, demonstrates that the Wallala beds are only a
phase of the Chico. The Shasta-Chico series is composed of the
Knoxville, Horsetown, and Chico beds, which are each characterized
by its own fauna. The fauna of adjacent beds, however, are so bound
together by many common species that there is no palaeontologic
break. The Mariposa and Knoxville beds are faunally distinct and
unconformable; the former Jurassic, and the latter Cretaceous.

performed in his Majesty's ship Blossom, under the com-
mand of Capt. F. W. Beechey. London, 1831. 2 vols.

In the volume on the zoology of Captain Beechey 's voyage (Lon-
don, 1839, 4to), by Prof. Buckland, there are several references to the
geology of the vicinity of San Francisco, prepared from the notes
and collections of Lieutenant Belcher.

A map of the headland, embracing San Francisco Bay, accom-
panies this report. This is colored around the shores so as to indi-
cate the several formations; serpentine, sandstone, and jasper rock
are represented. Lieutenant BelchSr collected specimens of serpen-
tine on the west side of Angel Island. The occurrence of jasper rock
is also noted.

The author, on page 174, gives the following account of the geology
of California, which was the first ever published ; it is given in full,
on account of its value :

GEOLOGY, BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO.

"The specimens collected in and near the Bay of San Francisco
consist of many varieties of common serpentine, bronzite, and asbes-
tos ; clay-slate and mica slate, chlorite slate, horn-stone, brown, green,
and red jasper, and rolled blocks of glassy actynolite ; grey sandstone,
and imperfect wood-coal. The country near the port of San Fran-
cisco is composed chiefly of sandstone, jasper, and serpentine. Wood-
coal is found in slight seams on the north side of the entrance of the
bay, and native salt near Santa Clara. Many of the summits of the
hills are composed of jasper, forming enlongated ridges, of which
. the general direction is north and south. This jasper is succeeded by
sandstone, of a loose texture, not effervescing with acids, and dis-
posed in every angle of stratification, occasionally it is hard and of
a blue cast ; it is frequently interrupted by abrupt masses of lami-
nated jasper in wavy stratification. The appearance of the jasper,
at its contact with the sandstone, is often very remarkable. The
jasper appears not to have acted on or displaced the sandstone ; its
exterior, for eighteen inches or two feet, is usually rugged, and mixed
with carbonate of lime, quartz, and indurated clay ; its interior,
however, presents a very beautiful wavy disposition of the component
laminae, a remarkable example of which occurs at the Meec^lle Rock,
nearly opposite the fort. A view of it is engraved at PI. Ill, Geology.
It resembles an immense mass of sheets of paper, or bands of list,
crumpled and contorted by lateral pressure. This contortion only
occurs in the red jasper, the yellow being seldom (if at all) stratified,
but generally separated by cracks into rhomboidal pieces. A mass
of at least one hundred feet in thickness is beautifully stratified in
short, wavy lines, opposite the fort near Punta Diavolo, and rests on
sandstone.

"Between Punta Boneta and Punta Diavolo the sandstone is of a
bluish-grey colour, containing particles of coal.

"The Island of Los Angelos is of very confused formation. Its
eastern side is sandstone, with occasional jasper rocks; its western
side exhibits sandstone, conglomerate, clay-slate, and serpentine ; its
south side, bluish earth, (apparently decomposed serpentine), and
jasper beds containing red siliceous nodules, and much iron pyrites.

Miscellaneous Publications. 86

The superstratum of this island is almost entirely composed of the
debris of sandstone and jasper rocks, a little slate and bluish earth,
and betrays appearances of violence. It is about 900 feet above the
level of the sea,— B.

"The cliffs of the main land, opposite the northwest shore of the
Island of Los Angelos afford masses of actynolite and beds of mica
slate and talc slate.

"The Island of Molate, about four miles north of Los Angelos,
appears at a distance to be of a red colour, and contains much red
jasper, and in a small portion of the cliff black ferruginous slate.— C.

"In the Island of Yerba Buena, the perpendicular cliffs west of the
bay are formed of clay-slate at their base, whilst the superincumbent
rock is sandstone, for the most part in angular masses, and without
distinct stratification. The clay-slate is much contorted, arched, and
wavj'-, assuming an east and west direction, and dipping chiefly to
the south at a considerable angle. The sandstone shows itself in the
point that forms the' eastern part of the bay.

"The rounded hills of the peninsula on which the Presidio of San
Francisco is placed, are variously formed of sandstone, loose sand,
serpentine, flinty slate, and jasper. The westernmost hill, which
rises from the sea between the fort and the Punta di los Lobos, is
serpentine. The north declivity, on which the quadrangle of the
Presidio is built, is sandstone. To the eastward of this the serpen-
tine again forms a hill of equal if not greater height. The hill to the
westward of the Mission is serpentine. That which rises to the south
of it exposes a bare and scarped brow of flinty slate and jasper.
Rocks of a similar nature protrude through the surface of the soil of
the hills which separate San Francisco from the extensive valley of
Santa Clara (Las Salinas), about six leagues to the southward. These
hills are called Sierras di los Samburnos, and terminate on the north
in a rocky prominence, in the harbour east of the inlet of the Mission.

"The range of mountains, Las Sierras del Sur, which bound the
above valley to the south, expose flinty slate approaching to jasper, a
little northwest of Las Pulgas, and about eighteen miles east-south-
east of the Mission of San Francisco. Between the Missions of Santa
Clara and Santa Cruz, these mountains form four parallel ranges, the
two middle ones highest (about 1,500 feet), with steep declivities ; the
first two valleys are narrow ; the third is more extensive, leading to the
fourth range, which is considerably lower than the others. The first
two ridges are composed of serpentine and a jaspery rock, the third
principally of sandstone and occasionally jasper, and the fourth, that
nearest Santa Cruz, entirely of sandstone, the upper part being
mostly decomposed into loose sand. Petrified bones of a cylindrical
form were found in this cliff of sand or loose sandstone in 1827.

"Where this range approaches the road from Santa Clara to San
Juan, nearly half-way, the northern declivity is covered with frag-
ments of serpentine, and a little farther on is sandstone and flinty
slate.

"In the neighbourhood of the Mission of San Juan is a sandstone
conglomerate, and on the road crossing from San Juan to the plain
of Monterey, is sandstone. From the interior of the range between
San Juan and Monterey, the inhabitants of Las Animas had brought
compact basalt, containing particles of magnetic iron ore, which

86 A Bibliography of the Geology, etc., of California.

encouraged the delusive hope of rich mines. A few miles down the
river Paxaros, from where the road to San Juan crosses it, there are
thermal springs, and sulphur in their neighbourhood. On the Santa
Cruz side, near the Mission, there is said to be coal, but it has never
been mined. Along the east shore of the Bay of San Francisco, for
thirty-five miles east-southeast, from beyond the Island of Molate,
towards San Josef and Santa Clara, the harbour is bounded gener-
ally by low alluvial soil, and only in a few places do low and rocky
cliffs protrude. Near the Mission of San Josef there are some hot
springs in the plain, surrounded by a verdant covering. Earthquakes
are rather common, and one in 1806 so shook the building of the
Mission of Santa Clara, that a new one was obliged to be erected. A
few years ago, a boat belonging to a whale ship, when lying in several
feet water, was suddenly thrown on the beach and left dry, and a
vessel in the Bay of Monterey was suddenly and severely tossed
about by the sea, and the shock was felt on the shore at the same
time. At ten o'clock on the 26th December, 1827, a slight shock
was felt at San Josef. The shocks are said to come along the coast
from the northward, and when they are also felt at Monterey it is
some minutes later.

"One was perceived at the Presidio of San Francisco in the month
of April, 1827. It continued a short time, but the shaking was so
slight" that it injured nothing.— C."

Manuel Castanares was a Representative in the National Congress,
from the Department of California, in 1845. In his first letter, under
date of March 2, 1844, the author, states that gold placers were dis-
covered in California last year, extending some thirty leagues. In
his second letter, under date of September 1, 1844, the writer states :
"The mining interest in California is of great importance, and I have
the satisfaction of assuring your Excellency that it forms one of the
most valuable resources of this Department. Besides the silver
mines which are found, there are various other mines which have
actually yielded metals ; the gold placer especially is worthy of great
■ attention, which extends nearly thirty leagues, was discovered lately,
together with mines of mineral coal."

This author states (Vol. 1, p. 489) that a vein of gold-bearing quartz
was worked near the Mission of San Fernando by M. Baric in 1843.

According to De Mofras, the gold of the San Francisquito Rancho
was first explored by M. Charles Baric. He gives its distance in the
mountains as six leagues to the northward of the Mission of San
Fernando, and fifteen leagues from Los Angeles. He further states :
"This vein has an extent of six leagues, following the direction of the
ravine where it is situated. The gold is foand near the surface of the
soil, and some pieces weighed two or three drachms." This descrip-
tion would lead one to the opinion that the deposit was a placer one
and not a vein, although he uses the word j?/ow.

According to De Mofras, silver ores occur about two leagues north-
west of Cahuenga Rancho, and were not worked for want of mercury.
He further observes that the Indians often bring in from the moun-
tains, grains of copper, fragments of opal, and pieces of galena.
Mines of gold and silver are also said to have been found about
fourteen leagues from San Diego. They were once worked by a man
from Guanajuata.

There is a notice of the bitumen near Los Angeles on p. 337, vol. 2.
The author states: "Two leagues to the southeast of Los Angeles
there are four great sources of asphaltum, situated on a level with
the earth in a vast prairie. These springs open in the middle of
little pools of cold water, while the bitumen possesses a higher tem-
perature. This water has a mineral taste, which, however, does not
prevent animals from drinking it. At sunrise the orifices of these
springs are covered by enormous bubbles of asphaltum, often being
more than a yard high, and looking like soap bubbles."

The author notes the California gold field on p. 470. He remarks in
conclusion : " 1. That, looking to the world at large, the auriferous
veinstones in the lower Silurian rocks contain the greatest quantity
of gold ; 2. That where certain igneous eruptions penetrated the Sec-
ondary deposits, the latter have been rendered auriferous for a limited
distance only beyond the junction of the two rocks ; 3. That the general
axiom before insisted upon remains: that all Secondary and Tertiary
deposits (except the auriferous detritus in the latter) not so specially
affected never contain gold."
