LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL.
To Hon. George C. Pardee, Governor of the State of Cali-
fornia, and the Honorable Board of Trustees of the State
Mining Bureau.
Gentlemen : I have the honor to transmit Bulletin No. 30,
''A Bibliography Relating to the Geology, Palaeontology, and
Mineral Resources of California," this being the second edi-
tion, which has been revised and brought up to date by the
author of both editions, Lieut. Col. A. W. Vogdes, Artillery
Corps, U. S. A.
I wish to extend many thanks to Colonel Vogdes for his kind
assistance to this department in donating this work, which
will prove invaluable to the seeker for information pertaining
to the literature which has been published relating to the sub-
jects above enumerated.
Very respectfully,
LEWIS E. AUBURY,
State Mineralogist.
San Francisco, June 30, 1903.
Hon. Lev^is E. Aubury, State Mineralogist.
Dear Sir : I have the honor to submit this bibliography for
publication by the State Mining Bureau, with the following
remarks :
Since the publications of the first Geological Survey of the
State, in 1851, by Dr. Trask, a large number of papers on
geology, mineral resources, palaeontology, and descriptions of
local mining regions have appeared in special publications or
in the transactions of learned societies. Besides these there
are many articles incorporated in the official publications of
the UnitecJ States, etc., etc. I have labored to bring this mass
of literature together and make it accessible to the student and
Letters of Transmittal.
general reader by giving not only a catalogue of the books and
maps, but also a general idea of their contents. As the palae-
ontologist has to deal with the species described under each
genus I have included a full list of fossils, which will save the
student many a weary hour of laborious research through
many volumes.
The catalogue has been arranged under different heads,
giving the student a direct reference to the contents of dif-
ferent publications. Following is the arrangement:
Part I. Publications of the State of California.
Part II. Publications of the United States Government.
Part III. Publications of Scientific Societies.
Part IV. Publications of State Geological Surveys other
than that of California.
Part V. Miscellaneous Publications. Manj' of them are
references to early reports on gold and other minerals, in-
cluding trips to the gold fields of California. All of these
books contain references to mines and local geology.
Part VI. A list of the published maps of California. This
will be found useful to all citizens of the State.

J. D. Whitney divides the Cretaceous as follows :
1. The Tejox Group, most extensively developed in the vicinity
of Fort Tejon and about Martinez ; from the latter locality it forms
an almost continuous belt in the coast ranges to Marsh's, 15 miles
east of Mount Diablo, where it sinks under the San Joaquin plain.
2. The Martinez Group, found at Martinez and on the northern
flank of Mount Diablo.
3. The Chico Group, an extensive member of the Pacific Coast
Cretaceous ; it is represented in Shasta and Butte counties and in
the foothills of the Sierra Nevada as far south as Folsom, also in
the coast ranges bordering Sacramento Valley at Martinez, and in
Orestimba canyon, Stanislaus County.
4. The Shasta Group, a provisional name to include all below
the Chico Group.

The history of copper mining in California extends to an early
date. Old records of 1840 mention the existence of copper in Sole-
dad canyon, Los Angeles County, and in 1854 deposits of the mineral
were discovered by a Frenchman named Maris, which were subse-
quently worked.
A small deposit of rich copper ore was discovered in Hope Valley,
Alpine County, in 1855.
State Geologist Dr. J. B. Trask discovered copper ore in nearly
every county in the State during his term of office, extending from
1851 to 1854, but his discoveries received no attention. In fact,
the first practical step toward the development of the copper

resources of the State was by Hiram Hughes, the discoverer of the
Napoleon mine, in Calaveras County, although the presence was
known in 1859 or earlier of rich deposits on the Pit and McCloud
rivers, and copper ore yielding 70 per cent of the pure metal was
extracted from a vein in El Dorado County.
They made no impression favorable to California as a copper-
producing field. Hiram Hughes's discovery in 1860 had, however,
a marked effect upon mining development. Hughes found that the
gossan cap of what became Quail Hill No. 1 mine was rich in gold,
and he began working it for that metal. Soon after he found the
gossan of what later became known as the Napoleon mine, but
finding no gold in it he sent ore to San Francisco to be assayed. The
report showed that it contained 30 per cent copper worth $120 per
ton. This report started a copper excitement in that locality. Soon
afterward the Copperopolis lode was found a few miles west of the
Napoleon.
During that era of activity in California copper mining, Calaveras
County was the chief scene of operations. Thousands of tons of
rich copper ores were shipped abroad to be smelted. The greatest
depth reached was in the Union mine, the lower levels being 600
feet below the outcroppings. But the ore degenerated with depth,
and prices in the copper market falling caused the final suspension
of operations in 1868.
According to Professor Thomas Price, Del Norte County ranked
second to Calaveras in the production of copper ore during the
period extending from 1862 to 1865. The copper belt in that
county extends north and south for a distance of ten miles.
Some high-grade carbonates and oxides were also shipped then
from the Zinc House mine, near Empire Ranch, Nevada County, and
small quantities from Colusa County.
In 1862, copper was discovered and mined at Copper City, Shasta
County ; but it carried only 8 per cent copper. Subsequent assays
showed that it carried .$40 per ton in gold and $20 in silver, and it
was shipped to Swansea to be smelted. This is the vein on which
the Bully Hill mines are now located. As all California copper
deposits carry silver and gold and other by-products they are all the
more valuable to mine.
Colusa, Plumas, Mariposa, Fresno, and Santa Cruz counties
shipped some copper to market in the sixties. Prospects obtained
in Mariposa and Fresno counties indicated that Tuolumne, Mari-
posa, Madera, Stanislaus, Fresno, and Tulare counties would become
large producers of copper.
The first smelting works was a small reverberatory furnace of 10
tons per day capacity at Antioch, Contra Costa County, in 1863.
The lignite produced at the Mount Diablo mines was used as fuel.
From 1868 until 1895, the copper industry of California was
practically dead. In the latter year, the new era of activity set in
with the purchase and opening of the mines of the Mountain Copper
Company of Shasta.
From 1860 to 1874 inclusive the total copper exports amounted to
96,674 tons, valued at $7,439,080. From 1895 to 1900 inclusive
the total value of the Shasta copper output amounted co

$11,917,762. To this may be added, say, $5,000,000 for last year
and we have a grand total of $17,000,000 in round numbers to the
credit of six years' operations in one county.

A study of the map which Mr. Anbury includes shows a con-
tinuous belt in the Sierra foothill country following a well-defined
course from the southern border of Butte County to Riverside — a
distance of about 400 miles. A northern extension of this belt
diverts somewhat to the northeast and traverses Sierra, Plumas,
and Lassen counties. Then an outer copper belt extends in an
almost continuous line from San Francisco Bay to the Oregon
boundary line in Del Norte County.
The three principal mineral products of California last year were
gold, copper, and petroleum.

The first part of this report was a reprint of the expedition of
1842. (Senate Doc. 243, 27th Cong., 3d sess., 1842.)
The report contains a few geological notes of California, and a
description of the fossils, by James Hall. The specimens described
are all from Muddy Creek, Wyoming.
This report contains a reprint of the expedition of 1842, and the
accompanying map exhibits the routes followed during the years
1843 and 1845. The map is on a scale of 32 miles to 1 inch, and
was drawn by Charles Preuss, whose skill in sketching topography
in the field and in representing it on the map has probably never
been surpassed. The map may serve for a model. The profile was
made from barometrical observations drawn with a horizontal scale
of 47.35 miles to the inch, and a vertical scale of 8,500 feet to the
inch.

The author discusses the age of the formation afterward called by
the California geologists the Chico group. Newberry admits the
Tertiary character of a part of the fossils, but is inclined to refer
the formation to the Cretaceous, because of the presence in it of
Ammonites, etc.

Pacific Railroad Reports, vol. 7. Report on the Palaeontology
of the survey; by T. A. Conrad. Chapter XXIX, pp.
189-196, with 10 pi.
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 unda.

MAPS AND ATIiASES.
Topographic map of the United States.
The map is published in atlas sheets, each sheet representing a
small quadrangular district. The mapped areas are widely scattered,
nearly every State being represented. About 1,100 sheets have
been engraved and printed. The maps of California are catalogued
in Part VI of this Bibliography.
The map sheets represent a great variety of topographic features,
and with the aid of descriptive text they can be used to illustrate
topographic forms. The first three folios have been issued, viz. :
1. Physiographic types, by Henry Gannett. 1898. Folio. Four
pages of descriptive text and the following topographic sheets : Fargo
(N. Dak.-Minn.), a region in youth; Charleston (W. Va.), a region
in maturity; Caldwell (Ivans.), a region in old age; Palmyra
(Va.), a rejuvenated region; Mount Shasta (Cal.), a young vol-
canic mountain; Eagle (Wis.), moraines; Sun Prairie (Wis.),
drumlins ; Donaldsonville (La.), river flood plains; Boothbay
(Me.), a fiord coast; Atlantic City (N. J.), a barrier-beach coast.
2. Physiographic types, by Henry Gannett. 1900. Folio. Eleven
pages of descriptive text and the following topographic sheets ; Nor-
folk (Va.-N. C), a coast swamp; Marshall (Mo.), a graded river;
Lexington (Neb.), an overloaded stream; Harrisburg (Pa.), Ap-
palachian ridges; Poteau Mountain (Ark.-Ind. T.), Ozark ridges;
Marshall (Ark.), Ozark plateau; West Denver (Colo.), hogbacks;
Mount Taylor (N. Mex.), volcanic peaks, plateaus, and necks;
Cucamonga (Cal.), alluvial cones; Crater Lake special (Ore.), a
crater.

3. Physical geography of the Texas region, by Robert T. Hill.
1900. Folio. Twelve pages of text (including 11 cuts) ; 5 sheets
of special half-tone illustrations ; 5 topographic sheets, one showing
types of mountains, three showing types of plains and scarps, and
one showing types of rivers and canyons ; and a new map of Texas
and parts of adjoining territories.
Geologic atlas of the United States.
The Geologic Atlas of the United States is the final form of pub-
lication of the topographic and geologic maps. The atlas is issued
in parts. Under the plan adopted the entire area of the country is
divided into small rectangular districts (designated quadrangles),
bounded by certain meridians and parallels. Each folio contains
topographic, geologic, economic, and structural maps, together with
textual descriptions and explanations, and is designated by the name
of a principal town or of a prominent natural feature within the
district.

Observations on certain Eocene fossils described as Cretaceous
by Mr. W. ]\I. Gabb in his report published in the Palaeon-

The author remarks that Mr. Gabb makes two divisions of his
Cretaceous strata, A and B. The former is, doubtless. Cretaceous ;
and the latter, I am sure, will prove to be older Eocene. Fusus

Californica." Volutilithes Navarroensu belongs to "my genus Ros-
tcUitffi." Fusus Remondi is a species of Perissolax allied to P.
penita. Anfauropsis alveata is a species of Glohularia. Fisctis ma-
millatus is probably ^ycoiypus modcstus, Conrad. Perissolax is a
genus nearly related to Sycoti/pus. Chcmnitzia Spillmani is very
distinct from any species 1 described under that name. Aiuria
Mathcivsoni is Aturia .:ic-zac. hosinUi cicnttd is no.siiicopsis alta.

Further observations on Mr. Gabb's Palaeontology of Califor-
nia ; by T. A. Conrad. Am. Jour. Conch., vol. 2, 1866, pp.
97-100.
The author remarks that Volutilithes IVavarroeusis has the ex-
ternal 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 Blakci, Conrad. Hemifusus Horiii, H.
Cooperi, and H. Remondi, Gabb, and Fusus mamillatus, Gabb, are
members of my proposed genus Ficopsis. Amauropsis alveata, Gabb,
is a member of Lamarck's genus Ampullina. Venericardia Horni,
Gabb, is a very different variety from the F. planicosta. Hamites
Vancouverensis I believe to be an Ancyloceras. Ptyeoceras aequicos-
tatus is more likely to be Hamites. Neptunea curvirostris I believe
to represent an unaescribed genus.
The controversy which, for a long time, was maintained between
Conrad and Gabb as to the age of the Tejon rocks of California,
referred by Conrad to the Eocene and by Gabb to represent the
uppermost member of the Cretaceous (Division B of the California
Reports), can be found in the following papers:

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

Conrad finally yielded his position, but he has been unable to dis-
cover 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, pp. 237-
251.
In the author's article, "Notes on American Geology," in this jour-
nal, the author remarks : "On the coast of California ]Mr. Nuttall
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 shells of New York that the uplift of the Rocky ^Mountains
must have been far greater during the upper Tertiary period than
was any part of the Atlantic chain."

The following species were collected by the writer at Astoria, and
sent to the American Museum at New York. As the list is unpub-

or four species of bivalves and four of Gasteropods, undetermined,
and one Brachiopod. 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. Soc. of America, vol. 5, 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 paloeon-
tologic break. The Mariposa and Knoxville beds are faunally dis-
tinct and unconformable ; the former Jurassic, and the latter Cre-
taceous.

The Eocene age of the Tejon rocks is also maintained by Prof.
Jules Marcou, who made a personal examination of the region.

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 Belcher 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 as-
bestos ; 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 Francisco is composed chiefly of sandstone, jasper, and serpen-
tine. 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 elongated
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 disposed in every angle of stratification, occasionally
it is hard and of a blue cast ; it is frequently interrupted by abrupt
masses of laminated jasper in wavy stratification. The appear-
ance 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 Needle 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 sep-
arated 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. The superstratum of this island is almost entirely com-
posed 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.
146 A Bibliography of the Geology, etc., of California.
Beechey, Capt. F. W. Narrative of a voyage, etc.
"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 superin-
cumbent rock is sandstone, for the most part in angular masses,
and without distinct stratification. The clay-slate is much con-
torted, arched, and wavy, assuming an east and west direction, and
dipping chiefly to the south at a considerable angle. The sand-
stone 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 exten-
sive valley of Santa Clara (Las Salinas), about six leagues to the
southward. These hills are called Sierras di los Sambumos, 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-
southeast 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 occa-
sionally 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
3Iiscellaneoits Puhlications. 147

compact basalt, containing particles of magnetic iron ore, which
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 generally 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 the 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 Mon-
terey 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."

were discovered 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 im-
portance, 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 fii*st explored by M. Charles Baric. He gives its distance in
Ihe 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 direc-
tion of the ravine where it is situated. The gold is found near the
surface of the soil, and some pieces weighed two or three drachms."
This description would lead one to the opinion that the deposit was
a placer one and not a vein, although he uses the word filon.

MOFRAS, DUFLOT De.
According to De Mofras, silver ores occur about two leagues
northwest of Cahuenga Rancho, and were not worked for want of
mercury. He further observes that the Indians often bring in
from the mountains, 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 temperature. This water has a mineral taste, which, how-
ever, does not prevent animalfe from drinking it. At sunrise the
orifices of these springs are covered by enormous bubbles of asphal-
tum, often being more than a yard high, and looking like soap
bubbles."

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
The world's history and its civilization are closely propor-
tional to the accurate mapping of the territory. In early set-
tlenients only rude diagrams are made to meet the wants of
the time, but as civilization and population increase a wider
knowledge of the geography and topography is necessary to
meet the requirements of greater traffic and improvements.
Hence, the mapping of any country is a progressive work.
As the country becomes populated and political divisions are
made, detailed maps are required to construct railroads, geo-
logical surveys, wagon roads, and other improvements, and
triangulation is extended over the country to produce a map
to meet these wants.
Dr. J. C. Rowell, of the State University, made a catalogue
of the maps of California in the year 1887, which Avas pub-
lished in Library Bulletin No. 9. Its object was to catalogue
all the maps of the State, including county and other maps,
for which he made an endless research in the libraries, official
dociunents, railroad and real estate offices, mining companies,
etc. This added much to our knowledge in making up this
bulletin.
The work is endless, and many maps of the State have not
been catalogued. The maps of early voyagers and overland
explorers have not been included, as their enumeration would
have extended the list to double its limits. Those of the
former have been published in the following:
1. H. H. Bancroft's History of the Northwest Coast, vol.
1, chap. 1-10. This contains an extended account of the pro-
gress of discovery on the coast as well as reproductions of
numerous early maps.
2. Justin Winsor's The Kohl collection of early maps, be-
longing to the Department of State, Washington, U. S. A.
This catalogue commenced publication in the Harvard Uni-
versity Bulletin, vol. 3, p. 171, and was subsequently issued as
