REPORT UPON THE CONDITION AND PROGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
NATIONAL MUSEUM DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 320,
1886,
In the report now presented, which relates to the year ending with
June 30, 1886, it was my intention to have presented a general review
of the history of the Museum, and of its several departments. The
publication of this historical sketch will, however, be reserved for pre-
sentation at some future time. ;
The name NATIONAL MUSEUM was used in the Smithsonian Reports
as early as 1868, though it was not until after the erection of the new
building had been determined upon that this designation seems to have
been actually adopted by Congress. It was without doubt the pur-
pose of Congress, as early as 1846, that a national museum should be
established in Washington, and that it should be placed under the ad-
ministrative direction of the Smithsonian Institution, then just organ-
ized. Such was manifestly the intention of the act of incorporation
passed in that year, by which it was provided that “all objects of art
and of foreign and curious research, and all objects of natural history,
plants, and geological and mineralogical specimens belonging or here-
after to belong to the United States, which may be in the city of Wash-
ington,” should be delivered to the Regents of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution, and, together with the new specimens obtained by exchange,
donation, or otherwise, should be so arranged and classified as best to
facilitate their examination and study.*
It was not until 1858 that the actual custody of the ‘‘ National Cabi-
net” was assumed by the Regents, and appropriations were made by
Congress for its maintenance. During the twenty-three years which
followed, the collections were greatly increased and were made the
subjects of numerous important memoirs upon the natural history and
ethnology of America. The public halls, with their arrangements for
the exhibition of a portion of the collections, also received a due share
of attention, and a reasonable amount of instruction and pleasure was
afforded to visitors. The appropriations however were small, the space
limited, and the staff so inadequate, that little could be done except to
keep the collections in a good state of preservation.
*An act to establish the Smithsonian Institution ‘‘ for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men.” (Approved August 10, 1846 ; Revised Statutes, Title LXIII,
sections 5579-5594.) See also Revised Statutes, section 5586, and Statutes Forty-
fifth Congress, third session, chap. 182, p. 894.

4 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
The Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia was an event of great educa-
tional importance to the people of the United States; and not the least
of its benefits were the lessons it taught as to the possibilities for good
in public museums. The objects which were given to the United States
for its National Museum, at the close of the Centennial, were of much
intrinsic value, but were still more important, in that they led to the
erection of a large building for the expansion of the museum itself.
From 1876 to 1881 was a period of incubation. The museum embryo
was developing, but it was within a shell of store-houses. From 1881 to
1886, another period of five years, its growth has been rapid, though
the organism is still in its infancy. These five years have been years
of experiment, but it is hoped that it is now evident to the people and
to Congress that the young museum is now ready to begin a promising
progress toward maturity.
Among the most important features of the work, up to the present
time, certain definite stages of progress have been attained, among the
most important of which may be mentioned :
(1) An organization of the Museum staff has been effected—efficient
for present purposes and capable of expansion and extension as occa-
sion may require. ;
(2) Through the agency of this staff, the materials in the Museum,
the accumulations of nearly half a century, have been examined, classi-
fied, and brought under control.
(3) The collections have been more than doubled in extent.
(4) A beginning has been made toward the development of a thor-
oughly labelled exhibition series, available for the instruction of the
public.
(5) A thorough study of the organizations and systems of classifica-
tion in other museums throughout the world has been made, the results
of which are beginning to appear in the work of the Museum staff. A
report upon the great museums of the world is in preparation and will
soon be published.
(6) Many new methods of installation have been deéveloped by experi-
ments in the Museum, and in the expositions in which the Museum has
participated. These are finding favor, and are being adopted in many
similar establishments at home and abroad, and will certainly add to
the economy and success of our own administration.
(7) Seience has been forwarded by the publication of many hundreds
of papers deseribing the materials in the Museum, while the work of
specialists in the production of these papers has greatly improved the
significance and value of the collections.
It is, L think, possible to show that Washington may readily be made
the seat of ene of the greatest museums in the world. It will perhaps
be neither practicable nor desirable to gather together in Washington
collections of ancient and medixval art, such as those which adorn the
capitals of Europe; but a representative series of such objects will un-

doubtedly grow up, which shall tend to educate the public taste, and to
promote, so far as possible, the study of the elements of art and the
history of civilization, as well as to forward the growth of the arts of
design. This having been accomplished, the attention of the Museum
should be directed mainly toward the exhibition of the geology and
natural history of America, and its natural resources, to the preserva-
tion of memorials of its aboriginal inhabitants, and to the exposition
of the arts and industries of America.
In referring to the industries of America it is not intended to recom:
mend that anything similar to what is generally understood as an “ in-
dustrial exhibition” should be attempted. The element of competitive
display should not be admitted, and no two objects of precisely similar
import should ever be placed side by side.
As early as 1851, the scope of the Museum was considered to be a
question of great importance; but even now it is perhaps too early to
speak definitely in regard to the nature of its fature development. The
first Secretary of the Institution, Professor Henry, was opposed to the
accumulation of extensive collections at the expense of the Smithsonian
fund. He didnot underrate the importance of great collections, but, on
the coutrary, deemed it the duty of the Institution to point out the means
‘by which they might be made, and to aid in this work by utilizing all
opportunities for procuring specimens for distribution, by facilitating
exchanges, and by assisting explorations. He considered the formation
of a general collection, although beyond the means of the Institution at
that time, an object which ought to engage the attention of Congress,
and was firmly convineed that in accepting donations of specimens,
preference should be given to those of importance for use in scientifie
research, the study of which was likely to produce new and interesting
results. Professor Baird, taking up the same administrative problem
at a later period, and finding the conditions greatly changed, has
forwarded enthusiastically the progress of the National Museum, sup.
ported as it now is by direct grants of money from the general Gov-
ernment. With the experience of these years it has become evident
that the National Museum of the United States will of necessity have
features peculiar to itself, developed in response to the peculiar needs
of the people of this continent. It should be remembered that the na-
tional collections of *every principal European nation are divided into
several groups, each under separate administration, though often within
the general control of some central authority. In France, for instance,
most of the museums are under the Ministry of Public Lnstruction, and
in England, to a less extent, under the Department of Science and Art.
In London, in Paris, in Berlin, and in Vienna the public collections
are scattered through various parts of the city, in museums with dis-
tinctive names, and independent in their organizations. Much of the
work which should properly be done by such museums is omitted, be-
cause no one of them has seen fit to undertake it; while, on the other
6 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
hand, much labor is duplicated, which is perhaps equally unfortunate,
collections of similar scope and purpose being maintained in different
parts of the same city. One of the chief objections to such division of
effort is, that much of the value of large collections in any department is
lost by failure to concentrate them where they may be studied and com-
pared side by side. In Washington the national collections are all,
without exception, concentrated in one group of buildings. The Army
Medical Museum will soon occupy a building side by side with those
under the control of the Smithsonian Institution, and this proximity,
in connection with the long-established policy of co-operation between
the two organizations, will cause them to be, for all practical purposes,
united in interest.
It is possible that, in the future, museums of specialties, occupying
buildings of their own, may grow up under the control of other Execu-
tive Departments of the Government, but it is to be hoped that they
will not be very remote from the chain of museum buildings already
in process of formation, and that a harmonious system of co-operation
will always be found to be practicable.
The National Museum is now approaching an important crisis in its
history. Its future will depend upon the action of Congress in granting
it an additional building, for without more room its growth can not
but be in large degree arrested. From this time forward it will be im-
possible to develop the collections satisfactorily without additional
space. The laboratories and workshops are already entirely inadequate
for the storage of the unexhibited collections and the accommodation
of the preparators and mechanics, and the exhibition halls do not afford
suitable opportunity for the display of the materials already in order
for public examination. Each collection, and above all each depart-
ment, should have a hall of its own, more or less completely isolated
from those which adjoinit. ,It is evident that when several collections
are placed side by side in the same department, much is lost in respect
to effect and convenience of study, not*to mention the still greater dis-
advantage of overcrowded space.
A.—THE MUSEUM STAFF.
Several changes have been made in the arrangement of the scientific
staff during the year. The collection of Cenozoic Fossils is now in the
custody of the Curator of Moliusks, the Department of Invertebrate
Paleontology having been divided into three groups, corresponding to
the three principal periods of geologic time, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and
Cenozoic. Mr. John B. Smith was appointed Assistant Curator of the
Department of Insects on August 1, 1885. Mr. Romyn Hitchcock,
Curator in the Department of Arts and Industries, was granted leave
of absence for two years to visit Japan for scientific exploration, and,
haying received from the Japanese Government an appointment as
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. q
Professor in the University of Osaka, departed on his mission in July,
1886.
Mr. W. V. Cox was designated Chief Clerk in December, 1885, Mr.
It. I. Geare has been placed in charge of Correspondence and Reports;
and Mr. A. Howard Clark is Assistant in charge of Publications, Sta-
tionery, and Labels. Mr. 8S. ©. Brown, as Registrar, has charge of
Transportation, Registry, and Storage. Mr. John Murdoch has been
designated Assistant Librarian.
By the death, March 19, 1886, of Mr. James Templeman Brown, the
Museum suffered the loss of an enthusiastic worker, who had rendered
efficient service in the development of the Museum. Mr. Brown had
made an exhaustive study of the whale fisheries of the world, and the
collection formed by him to illustrate the history of the New England
whale fishery, will always be a prominent feature in the fisheries court.
The Museum staff, as now organized, consists of two classes—the
scientific officers or curators, and the administrative oflicers.
There are at present 28 curatorsbips, some of which are divided, so
that the number of heads of departments or sub-departments is 26,
and the total number of men in the scientific staff 30, of whom 13 are in
the pay of the Museum, and the others are honorary (or unpaid), some
being detailed for this duty by the Director of the Geological Survey,
by the Director of the Bureau of Ethnology, others by the Commis-
sioner of Fish and Fisheries, and by the Secretary of the Navy, while
two are volunteers. These details are in every instance made in the
interests of co-operation by those Bureaus of the.Government engaged
in work closely connected with that of the Museum. The paleontol-
ogists of the Geological Survey have found it to be so much to their
advantage to have access to the paleontological collections of the Mu-
seum and the use of the laboratories, storage cases, and general ad-
ministrative appliances of the Museum, that they are permitted by
the Director to assume the responsibilities of curatorships and perform
a general work of supervision. It isintended, however, that the Museum
shall provide paid assistants, to relieve the honorary curators of most
of the routine work of their departments.
B.—THE CONDITION OF THE COLLECTIONS.
The reports of the curators indicate that the collections under their
charge are in an excellent state of preservation.
The perishable objects, such as skins of birds and mammals, the in-
sects, certain ethnological materials, and the objects preserved in spirits,
have in most cases been provided with improved case accommodations,
and a decided advance has been made in the methods of preventing in-
sect ravages.
During the year the coliection of aboriginal American pottery in the
northwest court has been opened to the public, and a series of casts of
8 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
reptiles has been placed on exhibition in the west range of the Smith-
sonian building. Almost the entire lower hall in the Smithsonian build-
ing has been devoted to the bird collection, though the Department of
Mollusks still retains some of its specimens in the table cases between
the bird cases in the alcoves. A small series of insects* has been in-
stalled in the southeast court of the Museum building, and the osteol-
ogical collection has been largely extended. The collections acquired
by the Museum at the close of the New Orleans Exposition have been
received and assigned.
In connection with the administration of the collections, three hundred
and twenty-two paperst have been published, of which a tabulated
statement, by subjects, is given under the heading of ‘ Publications.”
In the report for 1884, when the last census of the collections was
reported, the number of specimens in the Museum was estimated at
1,471,000. During the last eighteen months{ the increase has been, as
shown by the following table, 949,934 specimens:

There have been no important changes in the assignment of exhibition
space since the last report was prepared. In the hall devoted to the
display of the materia medica collection, a portion of the collection of
food substances has been arranged, and in a corner of the north hall are
exhibited a few of the objects collected for the section of steam trans-
portation. A few cases in the north hall have also been filled with
coins and medals. The east end of the northeast balcony in the Smith-
sonian building has been occupied by the department of Ethnology
in arranging the collection of weapons. There are still several depart-
ments to which no exhibition space whatever has been assigned, on
account of lack of room, and the only remedy is a new additional build-
ing. A great mass of material is at present stored in the Armory Build-
ing, and must remain there until Congress has provided more spacious
accommodations for the collections.

C.—REVIEW OF THE YEAR'S WORK IN THE SCIENTIFIC
DEPARTMENTS.
DIVISION VF ANTHROPOLOGY.
DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES.
The collection of textiles is installed in the northeast court of the
Museum, and is provided with printed labels and illustrative diagrams: _
it includes a very full series of the animal and vegetable fibers of the
world, together with devices for spinning and weaving, and the various
products of the textile industries.
Much of the material intended for exhibition can not be installed in
the now limited space available, and is stored away in boxes until in-
creased space will warrant its display.
A few cases containing food specimens are on exhibition, and the
composition of the human body is graphically illustrated, together with
its daily expenditure of tissues, and the manner in which this is com-
pensated for by daily rations of food. This collection is exhibited upon
the plan of the famous collection of similar character prepared by Dr.
Lankester and others for the Bethnal Green Museum in London. It is,
however, based upon an entirely new series of analyses and a revised
pian prepared by Prof. W. O. Atwater, of Wesleyan University.
The section of materia medica is under the charge of Dr. H. G. Beyer,
U.S. Navy, who has been detailed for this work by the Surgeon-Gen-
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. i
eral of the Navy, under whose supervision the collection has been in-
stalled. Its increase during the year has been greater than during any
previous year except the first, when the nucleus of the collection was
formed from the collections received from different national departments
at the Centennial Exhibition, and by the gifts of W. H. Schiefflin & Co.,
of New York, which were remarkable for their interest and value.
Among the most important accessions received during the year, were
those presented by the Governments of Jamaica, Japan, and Mexico;
the collection of Dr. Edward Palmer, from the States and Territories of
the Southwest; and the gifts of F. Stearns & Co., of Detroit, Mich.,
and W.S. Thompson, of Washington, D.C. The curator has devoted
much time to completing his arrangement of the collection, and has ear-
ried on several important investigations on the physiological action of
drugs. Seven original papers embodying the results of his investi-
gations have been published and are givenin the bibiiography, and two
more are in press; others are in progress. The exhibition series now
contains 3,326 specimens, and nearly half of these are provided with
printed labels. The whole collection now includes 4,850 specimens, and
409 entries have been added to the catalogue during the year. soe coo sgnonsEesS 14 868 169

In addition to these pinned specimens, the collection contains some
nineteen large boxes of alcoholic material, chiefly of the adolescent
states of insects, comprising some 2,850 vials, in many cases several
species being contained ina single vial. The collection contains a large
number of undescribed species in all orders.
The early states of the minuter insects are mounted in balsam on slides
(1 by 3 inches), of which the collection contains upward of 3,000, most
of the slides holding the contents of three cover glasses.
The mounted material is contained for the most part in double-folding
boxes in book form, about 32 by 22 by 8 centimeters, lined on both sides
with cork and paper.
A certain proportion of the boxes are less than 7 centimeters wide, and
are lined only on one side. There are also two cabinets, one with sixteen
large, glass-covered drawers, and another (now at Dr. Riley’s residence)
of sixty glass-covered drawers. The specimens are all duly classified
and labeled, and in excellent order and preservation. The labels in-
clude notes as to locality and food habit, and are also in many cases
numbered to correspond to detailed notes as to adolescent states and
habits.
The collection was begun twenty-five years ago, and represents Dr.
Riley’s continuous collectings since, including his own types and many of
other authors received inexchange. Itembraces few exotic species, and
is more particularly rich in biological material, containing more blown
and alcoholic larve and pup in connection with their imagos than per-
haps any other collection of North American insects. Including the
unarranged and alcoholic material not connected with the pinned speci-
mens, there are over 20,000 species in the collection.
The curator has continued his work in re-arranging and perfecting
different families in several orders, particularly among the micro-lepi-
doptera.
20 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
DEPARTMENT OF MARINE INVERTEBRATES,
By far the largest part of the material received by this department
was obtained by the U.S. Fish Commission steamer Albatross, while en-
gaged in making extensive explorations along the entire eastern coast
of North America from the Grand Bank of Newfoundland to southern
Florida and the Bahamas. The results of this exploration were of great
value, since a large part of the region visited had never been systemati-
cally investigated before. Over two hundred and fifty successful hauls
were made with the dredge and the trawl-net. Among important dona-
_tions from other sources were a fine series of deep-sea soundings from
the Southern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, made by the U.S. steamer
Enterprise, and large collections from the western and northwestern
coasts of America and Siberia. A most interesting series of microscopi-
cal preparations of nearly two hundred species of British sponges, mainly
described or identified by Dr. Bowerbank, was supplied by the Rev. A.
M. Norman, a distinguished English naturalist.
The collection of Echini, or Sea Urchins, has now been completely
identified and arranged for reference and study. Of this group the
Museum possesses 152 species, many of which are represented by ex-
tensive series of specimens covering a wide range of distribution.
The curator has continued his studies of the parasitic copepoda of the
Atlantic coast. He has also revised the collection of star-fishes, and
thoroughly overhauled the species collected by the U.S. Fish Commis-
sion on the Atlantic coast north of Cape Hatteras.
Work upon the collection of Ophiurans has been continued by the
Hon. Theodore Lyman, who is at present engaged in studying the ma-
terial obtained by the Albatross south of Cape Hatteras, and that from
the western coast of North America, including Alaska.
The number of catalogue entries during the year has been 7,074, a
single entry often representing hundreds of specimens. The total num-
ber of specimens at present in the collection is estimated at 350,000.
DEPARTMENT OF COMPARATIVE ANATOMY.
The development of the osteological collection has been the chief
work undertaken by the acting curator, Mr. True.
Mr. Lucas has rendered most efficient service in the development and
arrangement of the collection. It has been the desire of the curator,
to obtain a series of skeletons of thoroughbred domestie animals, and”
several specimens representing the important breeds of dogs have been
obtained.
The number of catalogue entries during the year, embracing birds,
mammals, fishes, reptiles, and batrachians, was 1,017. The total num-
ber of specimens in the collection is now 10,210. A card catalogue of
the skeletons of the mammals has been completed.

DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE FOSSILS (Paleozoic).
This department is under the charge of Mr. C. D. Walcott, of the U.
S. Geological Survey. The collection now includes over 80,000 speci-
mens, of which perhaps one-third has been transferred by the U.S.
Geological Survey to the Museum. During his connection with the
Museum Mr. Walcott has thoroughly arranged this material. A very
interesting series has been selected for exhibition, although up to the
present time it has been impracticable to place any material upon view.
The curator has been engaged in a special research, in behalf of the
U.S. Geological Survey, upon the stratigraphy and paleontology of
the Cambrian system of North America.
Prior to the year 1854 the increase in the material of this depart-
ment had been irregular, owing to the lack of time and means at the dis-
posal of the curator; during that year, however, Mr. Walcott intro-
duced a thorough system of classification, and began the formation of a
systematic collection of Cambrian fossils.
DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE FOSSILS (Mesozoic).
The principai accessions to the collection have been those received
from the U. S. Geological Survey. The curator, Dr. C. A. White, re-
ports that a total number of 1,563 entries were made in the catalogue
during the year. Among the accessions of special interest was a col-
lection of Cretaceous fossils froin Mexico, and another of Lower Creta-
ceous and Jurassic from France. The total number of specimens in the
collection at present is 69,742.
Steady progress has been made in the work of arrangement and
classification ; and the collection is now accessible for purposes of study.
The provisional arrangement which has been adopted, is purely strati-
graphical; though a broad biological classification under each geological
period has been attempted. Mr. J. B. Marcou has re-identified all the
type specimens, and has published a catalogue of these in the Proceed-
ings of the Museum.*
DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE FOSSILS (Cenozoic. )
Since the transfer of Mr. W. HI. Dall from the Coast Survey to the
U.S. Geological Survey, in which he is now serving as paleontologist
in charge of the later formations, this department has been organized.
It is, nowever, really inseparable from the department of mollusks, of
which Mr. Dall has long been curator.
DIVISION OF BOTANY.
DEPARTMENT OF FOSSIL AND RECENT PLANTS.
The attention of the curator of these two departments, Prof. Lester
IF. Ward, of the Geological Survey, has been directed chiefly toward
the study of the fossil plants: his sketch of the history and present

e
condition of fossil botany, published in the Fifth Annual Report of the
Director of the Geological Survey, gives an excellent idea of the char-
acter of the work which he has undertaken to accomplish in connection
with the National Museum collections.
The work of classification and arrangement has progressed, and the
herbarium of recent plants is now estimated at not less than 30,000
specimens: while that of fossil plants includes 7,439 specimens.
Dr. IF’. V. Havard contributed large and valuable collections of plants
from Texas and the adjacent States and Territories, containing the
types of his report on the “ Flora of Western and Southern Texas,” pub-
lished in the Proceedings of the National Museum.*
A card catalogue of the Joad collection of plants from the Old World,
recently acquired from the Royal Botanical Garden at Kew, has been
completed. This collection contains over 10,000 species, 9,000 of which
were new to the Museum.
DIVISION OF GEOLOGY.
DEPARTMENT OF MINERALS.
Under the direction of Prof. F. W. Clarke, the department of minerals
is now making rapid progress. During the year exchanges have been
carried on with private collectors and with a number of public mu-
seums, among which may be mentioned the Ecole des Mines, at Paris;
the Musée @’ Annecy, in Savoy; the University of Sydney, Australia ;
and that of Amherst College. The total number of specimens received
during the year was 800. ;
Nearly 4,500 of the 18,401 specimens constituting the collection of the
Museum, are now on exhibition. Especial attention has been devoted
to the development of the collection of gems and ornamental stones.
In connection with his official duties as chemist of the Geological
Survey, the curator has been. enabled to accomplish much scientific
work upon the Museum collections. He has made a study of the min-
erals received from Litchfield, Me., and the turquoise from New Mexico,
and is at present investigating the chemical structure of the silicates
and preparing a revision of the borates, and is also making a full series
of analyses of tourmaline.
DEPARTMENT OF LITHOLOGY AND PHYSICAL GEOLOGY.
Although the increase of material in this department has not been
very great, during the year the number of catalogue entries has been
1,021.
The exhibition series has increased, and all the available cases are
now filled. Much attention has been devoted to the preparation of the
exhibition series and accompanying labels and to the completion of the
study series.
*Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vii, 1885, pp. 449-533.
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. ps
Among the more important accessions have been several relief maps
received from the Geological Survey, a collection of rocks and building
stones from Mexico, a series of the rocks of Continental Hurope, and a
series of typical marbles and building stones from South Carolina, ete,
There are several groups of exhibition specimens in process of prepara-
tion, among them being a structural series, a lithological series, and a
series of building and ornamental stones. These are in part on exhibi-
tion, though not in their proper places in the systematic collection.
The curator, Mr. Merrill, is engaged in investigations upon the min-
eralogy of the District of Columbia, the origin and nature of fulgurites,
and the durability of building stones, besides carrying on studies on
local petrography; and has just completed a catalogue of the collection
of building stones now in the Museum.
The total number of specimens in the collection is estimated at
20,647, of which 17,647 belong to the reserve series. Of the latter num-
ber 5,313 are on exhibition, 2,730 being specimens of building and orna-
mental stones, and 1,829 belonging to the educational series of rocks
and rock-forming minerals. There are, also, in the collection 3,400
thin sections of rocks prepared for microscopic study. Of these nearly
200 have been added during the year.
DEPARTMENT OF METALLURGY AND ECONOMIC GEOLOGY.
Owing to the fact that so great a mass of material is already assigned
this department, which is under the curatorship of Mr. F. P. Dewey, it
has not been considered wise to solicit additional collections, although
much has been received during the year.
The specia! attention of the curator has been given to the arrange-
ment and classification of the mass of material received from the Insti-
tute of Mining Engineers, part of which arrived during this year.
The preparation of the exhibition series has been going steadily for-
ward, and a portion has been placed on exhibition as a preliminary dis-
play. The curator has commenced the preparation of a descriptive cata-
logue of the systematic collections, to serve as a guide to visitors,
For three years past the curator has been employed in an investiga-
tion of the physical properties of coke, and has published a paper upon
the porosity and specific gravity of different kinds of this material.
The total number of specimens in the collection is estimated at 48,000,
of which 17,000 are on exhibition. During the year 5,506 entries were
made, including $,552 specimens.
24 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
D.—REVIEW OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK OF THE
YEAR.
It will be evident from what has already been said that marked -
progress has been made in the arrangement and identification of the
material in the custody of the staff curators. At no time in the history
of the Museum has classification and installation received so much
attention. For the past five years the Museum staff has been overbur-
dened with the preparation of exhibits for Berlin, London, New Orleans,
Louisville, and Cincinnati, and although much valuable material, which
would otherwise have been lost to the Museum, has been obtained, it is
equally true that during those years the progress of the Museum work
proper has been necessarily made subservient, and has been seriously
impeded.
The reports of the curators indicate that better progress has been
made in the development of the exhibition series in the past than in
any previous year. The systematic arrangement of many of the collec-
tions has been commenced, and although much yet remains to be done
in the installation and labelling of specimens, the general appearance of
the public halls is far more satisfactory than ever before. In the three
geological departments this advance is especially manifest; as well as
in that of comparative anatomy.
The Museum may well be congratulated upon this progress, for there is
no reason to doubt that the systematic arrangement of all the collections
will, during the next fiscal year, make still greater headway.
The advance of the work tes given an opportunity for much experi-
ence in methods of installation and labelling, and the principles of ad-
ministration which have been tentatively laid down in previous reports
have been brought still further into experimental practice. It is still the
belief of our administrators that there are certain cardinal principles
which must be considered in the arrangement of collections in public
museums. Each object should illustrate an idea, and no two objects
should be shown, which illustrate the same idea in a similar manner.
Further than this, the idea to be illustrated should be explained on the
label in such a manner that any intelligent visitor, without previous
special knowledge of the subject, may ke able to learn why the object
is shown and what lesson it is intended to teach. The objects, also,
should be so carefully classified that their relations to each other may
be recognized by the visitor, so that, taken together, they suggest cer-
tain general conclusions; and in arriving at them the visitor should be
aided by certain general or collective labels, which should be supple-
mented, where practicable, by guide-books and manuals containing all
the information upon the labels, arranged systematically and illustrated
by engravings of the more important objects.
The study series includes those specimens which are not placed upon
exhibition, but are retained in the laboratories or stored in the unit tables
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 25
in the exhibition halls. This series is kept for purposes of comparison
and study, oras a basis for the preparation of monographic treatises.
Numerous applications have been received for the loan of specimens in
the Museum, constituting types of the species, and as on several occa-
sions in previous years type specimens have been lost or otherwise de-
stroyed whilst in the hands of the borrower, it has been found absolutely
necessary to impose very strict limitations upon the sending away of
type specimens. . Free access is allowed to specialists in the examina-
tion of these specimens in the laboratories, but no type specimens are
now sent toindividuals. Formalapplications by the authorities of other
museums are always, when possible, favorably responded to. In this
connection a circular (No. 35) has recently been issued. It reads:
Type specimens will in future not besent outof the National Museum
for purposes of study, except to officers of scientific institutions or so-
cieties who shall charge themselves with the responsibility of their safe-
keeping and return.
This action on the part of the Museum is in no way intended to act
as an obstacle to those engaged in scientific pursuits, but is a necessary
step in order to insure the finding of any given types when desired for
study.
1. PROGRESS OF GENERAL AND INCIDENTAL WORK.
LIBRARY.
The work of the library has been carried on without any important
changes from the methods employed in the previous year: it is, how-
ever, becoming yearly more serviceable to the scientific staff of the
Muuseum, as is shown by the fact that the number of books borrowed
during the year is greater than ever before.
The total number of books and pamphlets received during the year
was 2,424 (exclusive of regular periodicals). Of these, 1,372, or more
than one-half, were books selected from the extensive accessions of the
Smithsonian Institution te be retained at this library, while the rest
were sent to the Library of Congress.
As usual, the chief contributor has been Professor Spencer IF’. Baird,
to whom the library is indebted for 37 volumes, 192 pamphlets, and 2
maps.
Another important gift was that of Mr. J..C. Brevoort, of New York,
which consisted of 16 volumes and 144 pamphlets, almost entirely on
ichthyological subjects, and many of them of great value. Among
other contributions the most important are those from Mr. Robert
Ridgway, U. S. National Museum, 52 pamphlets; the Smithsonian
Institution, 5 volumes, 25 pamphlets; the Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences, 10 volumes, 20 pamphlets; and the U. S. Geological Survey,
9 volumes and 2 pamphlets.
The periodical department of the library contains more or less com-
plete sets of 570 periodicals, chiefly the proceedings of learned societies
26 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
and scientific serials. A systematic effort is being made with the co-
operation of the Smithsonian Institution to fill up incomplete files and
add new periodicals by means of exchange.
A slight change has been made in the method of keeping the record
of books lent and returned. The “ledger by borrowers” has been
discontinued, and, in place of it, the receipts or ‘ call-cards,” signed by
the borrowers, are carefully filed, thus serving to skow what books each
borrower has in his possession. On the return of a, book, the card is
returned to the borrower, and the entry on the “ ledger ef books issued”
is cancelled. This plan has been found more efficacious than the old
system, since by substituting two entries for three, one possible source
of error is eliminated. The number of books borrowed during the year
was 3,867.
The card catalogue, by authors. has been continued as in previous
years. The total number of books catalogued during the year was
2,923, of which 553 were volumes of more than one hundred pages, and
the remainder pamphlets.
The library is especially rich in scientific pamphlets, particularly
authors’ “extras” of their publications in scientific periodicals ; and it
is particularly important that this collection should be extended.
The work of putting the pamphlets into covers was begun in Mareh;
and at the end of the year, 1,706 pamphlets had been thus bound.
The library is still in great need of money for the purchase of the
latest editions of books of reference. Its most pressing necessity, how-
ever, is more room for the large and constantly increasing number of
periodicals.
EXCHANGES AND DISTRIBUTION OF DUPLICATES.
The customary distribution of duplicate specimens has been continued
during the year. The importance of this work was well character-
ized by Professor Baird in his report to the Secretary of the Institution
in 1861: ‘When it is considered that all these [specimens] have been
named and labelled by naturalists admitted to be of the highest anthority
in their respective departments, and that all have thereby the character
and value of types, many of them belonging to species first described
from Smithsonian specimens, or serving as the materials of elaborate
monographs, it will be readily understood how much their systematic
and judicious distribution by the Institution all over the world must
conduce to the advancement of science.”
The extent of the work is shown by the table here presented. Of the
118 distributions included in the table, 41 were to foreign institutions
and individuals.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 43
in buying larger quantities, even at a cheaper rate, than when only
sufficient supplies for immediate use are procured. Therefore only arti-
cles of every-day use are now kept on hand.
The method of procedure in issuing supplies has been changed. The
usage of the present time provides that the heads of departments shall
file a requisition, as formerly, for whatever may be required in his
work. If the articles are of a kind usually kept in stock, this requisi-
tion is presented to the property clerk, who attends to it and makes
proper entries in his books. If the articles are not in stock, the requi-
sition is sent to the chief clerk of the Maseum, who mails proposals to
established firms or manufacturers for the articles required. Upon the
return of the proposals, the prices are inserted on the original requisi-
tion and it is sent to the Assistant Secretary for action. Ifthe expendi.
“ture be authorized, the requisition is approved and returned to the
chief clerk of the Museum, who makes out an order for the articles,
sending also a notification to the property clerk for his guidance. The
firm is required to deliver the articles, with a memorandum bill, to the
registrar, who makes an entry of them in his books and turns the articles
over to the property clerk. This officer delivers them to the person
making the requisition, at the same time obtaining his receipt. This
form is filed by the property clerk in his office. Itemized bills, giving
the number of the orders, are required to be presented in duplicate
each month. These bills are examined by the property clerk, and if
found to correspond to the notification in regard to quantity and price
are certified to by him. The property clerk retains one of the certified
bills and sends the other to the chief clerk of the Museum, who com-
pares it with the stubs in the order-book. If it is found to correspond
to the orders, it is referred to the Assistant Secretary, who directs that
it be paid. The bill is then sent to the chief clerk of the Smithsonian
Institution, to be transferred to official forms. The voucher passes
through the same hands as did the original bill and undergoes the same
scrutiny and is ready for payment when it receives the approval of the
Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
Should a curator desire to make the selection of the articles himself,
as scientific apparatus, for instance, a special form giving him that
permission is furnished. This form, which states that the charges are
just and reasonable, the curator signs, after obtaining the articles, and
transmits with the bill to the property clerk, as in the case just men-
tioned. Proper entries are made in the books, so that at any time it is
easy to ascertain the cost of articles and the amount expended for any
department. It will be seen that, with so many checks and counter-
checks,the Museum interests are in every particular safely guarded,
and what may appear cumbersome routine after all greatly facilitates
the obtaining of supplies, accounting for the same, as well as the set-
tlement of bills.
All the cases, ‘urniture, ete., belonging to the Museum are stamped

with the Museum cipher and numbered. Supplies are issued upon
requisitions approved by the Assistant Secretary, which are filed with
the property clerk, and the articles in each case are charged up to the
department to which they have been assigned.
Another change that has been made during the year has been the
appointment of a committee of experts to examine all cases, articles of
furniture, ete., to see that the contractor has performed his part of the
contract, and that the articles are up to Museum standard, and therefore
in proper shape for acceptance. A second committee inspects lumber,
in order to see that it is of the kind ordered, of the proper dimensions,
und is satisfactory for the purposes for which intended.
utive clerk, Mr. Rt. I. Geare, has very largely increased during the year.

tant Secretary 1,169 letters and 1,001 acknowledgments of accessions

The work of the year was opened by a journey of the chief taxidermist
to Keene, N. H., in company with Mr. IF. A. Lucas, the osteologist, to
receive a full-grown Indian elephant, named “ Albert,” which was shot
by order of Hon. P. T. Barnum at that town on July 20, and presented
to the National Museum. ‘he preparators reached the elephant about
thirty-four hours after its death, and. with the aid of four butchers,
the animal was quickly dissected. In two days the skin was removed

and successfully preserved. All the bones of the skeleton were
“roughed out,” and on the third day skin and skeleton were boxed
securely and shipped to Washington. The skin weighed 1,080 pounds,
and when removed was in some places 14 inches in thickness. Upon
its arrival at the taxidermic laboratory it was preserved in a soft state,
to be mounted as soon as practicable.
Among the other important acquisitions of fresh specimens received
during the year were a very fine Burchell’s zebra, a royal Bengal tiger,
a horse antelope, water-buck, white-faced antelope, an eland, a llama,
and a black macaque.
Of the specimens mounted by the chief taxidermist, Mr. William T.
Hornaday, the Bengal tiger and the Burchell’s zebra seem worthy of
especial mention.
These two specimens may fairly be regarded as showing the possibili-
ties of taxidermy in the treatment of difficult subjects. It is especially
worthy of note that they are both so substantially mounted in every
part as to render them essentially imperishable if kept under glass.
Among other specimens mounted during the year were a number of
very fine and rare ungulates of large size, including a water-buck, A fri-
cau wild sheep, white-faced antelope, Hama, and others; a very large
and handsome leopard; a cheetah; an elephant-seal 11 feet in length,
and a series of very fine kangaroos.
Work in the laboratory was interrupted during seven weeks of May
and June by the exploration for buffalo in Montana, undertaken by Mr.
Hornaday and his assistant, A. H. Forney, accompanied by Mr. George
Hi. Hedley, of Medina, N. Y. On account of the fear that it might be
impossible to find buffalo at all, or at least without a search of three or
four months, a start was made in the spring with the hope of finding
animals before they would commence to shed their hair.
By hard work and good fortune a few buffalo were found in Montana,
but by the time the first specimens were killed they had shed their
hair to such an extent as to render their skins not fit to mount as typi-
cal specimens of the species. Accordingly the party returned imme-
diately with the collection already made, to go out again in October to
finish the work. A report of this exploration will be published after
the work is completed, including a list of the collections made by the
party during the month spent in the field.
A very important item of the work done by the chief taxidermist has
been the installation of the exhibit of the Society of American Taxider-
mists, which is now very attractively displayed along the north side of
the northeast court. It is greatly admired, and by many visitors is
carefully studied.

This table gives a total of 372 specimens on which work was done
during the year, including one whale 20 feet in length, and the full-
grown elephant “ Albert.” In addition to the work noted above, the
plaster cast of the Giant Tortoise (Colossochelys) has been mounted in

the Museum Building and completely repaired, and numerous skeletons
transferred from pedestals of various patterns to others of the now
adopted standards. The rapid accession of material has necessitated
numerous re-arrangements of both the study and exhibition series, re-
quiring the expenditure of much time and labor. This and the prelimi-
nary work of rendering the collection of bird skeletons accessible for
study have consumed a great portion of the osteologist’s time.
The specimens in the department of comparative anatomy have long
been in confusion, and it has taken several weeks to arrange them tem-
porarily. Before the close of another year it is hoped that the work of
installation, if not completed, will be well advanced. Since the speci-
mens added to the exhibition series are dwelt upon at some length in
the report of the curator of comparative anatomy, it will be necessary in
this connection only to acknowledge the valuable services of the assist-
ant preparator, Mr. J. W.Scollick. The skeleton of Python in particu-
lar bears witness to his skill and patience.
The osteologists now have in use three tanks, thirty-five barrels, and
six kegs, containing seventy-one skeletons and thirty-one skulls, a con-
siderable number of skeletons being ready for maceration, but not placed
in barrels owing to the impossibility of cleaning them during the pres-
ent year. Two years ago the yard and shed, devoted to the cleaning of
skeletons, were enlarged to three times their previous capacity, but now
the working space has become greatly cramped and still further enlarge-
ment is extremely desirable.
(ec) MODELERS.
Mr. J. W. Hendley has been occupied in modeling and painting a
large number of food specimens, and has repaired several lay figures.
He has also made casts of numerous archeological and ethnological im-
plements forthe departments of pre-historic anthropology and ethnology.
Mr. Joseph Palmer has made casts of fishes and reptiles, and of several
Indian heads and busts. He has also thoroughly cleaned and repaired
the casts of seals, porpoises, and reptiles returned from the New Orleans
Exposition.
(d) PHOTOGRAPHER.
Mr. T. W. Smillie reports that during the year 617 negatives have
been added to the permanent files, the greater portion of which were
distributed as follows :
Kthnological and archeological, 559; lithological, 1; mineralogical,
74; ornithological, 3; metallurgical, 20; miscellaneous, 160.
Three thousand two hundred and nineteen prints were made, as follows:
Ethnological and archeological, 1,317; mineralogical, 87; lithological,
1; ornithological, 8; metallurgical, 53; fishing vessels, etc., 232; mis-
cellaneous, 1,521.
In addition, 770 blue prints and enlargements were made, as follows:
Cyanotypes (plans of working drawings.of Museum ¢ases, ete.), 704;
enlargements (medium size), 65; enlargements (4 feet by 7 feet), 1.
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. AQ
Eight pupils have been instructed in photography.
livery facility is afforded these students for acquiring sufficient knowl-
edge of photography to be of practical use to them in the field. In ad.
dition to this, a large amount of routine work has been done, number-
ing and filing of negatives, making up outfits for expeditions, ete.
Negative paper has been adopted for field work, and in part the use
of bromide paper for making enlargements.
The following apparatus has been purchased: Two Frangais lenses
for field work, one roll-lolder, one balance.
At the request of the Post-Office Department, Mr. Smillie was ordered,
as an expert in testing inks, to test eleven cancelling and record inks for
the Department. As none of the inks were indelible, a comparative
test was made and a report on their relative values submitted. Upon
this report was based a decision for making contracts for ink during the
coming year.
(e) ARTIST.
Mr. A. Zeno Shindler has painted 218 casts of Indian heads and sev-
eral casts showing the anatomical structure of fishes. He has retouched
27 Corean pictures, and has colored 33 photographs of machinery, In-
dians, etc. He has painted 110 casts of reptiles, mammals, fishes, mol-
lusks, ete. He has also painted a collection of 25 Zuni masks, and per-
formed a considerable amount of additional incidental work.
(f) PREPARATOR IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES.
Mr. Ki. H. Hawley has continued his work of preparing specimens for
exhibition. This work is varied in character, including the repair of
musical instruments, the framing of pictures, the arrangement of fibers
and cloths in frames, the mounting of photographs, the installation of
costumes. Considerable time has been devoted to the preparation of
the various Japanese collections for exhibition.
4, ACCESSIONS.
The number of boxes and packages received during the year was
6,890, including those which contained that portion of the objects ex-
hibited at the New Orleans Exposition, which arrived in Washington
after June 30, 1885. The number of accessions represented by these
packages was 1,496 (Nos. 16207-17704).
The geographical sources of these accessions is shown in detail in the
geograpbical index to the list of accessions in Part v of this Report.
It is thought proper also to present in this place a running review
of the most important of the general collections. Every State and
Territory of the United States, excepting the Indian Territory, is
represented in the list, and from the most ot them have been received
contributions to the departments of zoology, botany, mineralogy, and
anthropology. Many of the accessions are small, consisting of a single
object or of a few specimens.

GEOGRAPHICAL REVIEW OF THE ACCESSIONS.
AFRICA.
Several portions of this continent are represented in the Museum by
small collections of material received from the New Orleans Exposition.
These are principally ethnological, consisting of clothing, musical in.
struments, ete., and objects of art-work, such as carved brass trays,
samples of leather-work, and stone carvings of Scarabeus. Twenty-
three species of African mammals were received from the Museum of
Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., and a few birds.
Irom Algeria we have five slabs of marble from the old Roman
quarries, for many years lost sight of.
An Egyptian mummy * in excellent state of preservation and ob.
tained at Luxor, in Upper Egypt, by Hon. 8. 8S. Cox, United States
minister to Turkey, was presented by him to the Museum.
This mummy measures 5 feet 6 inches, is delicately proportioned, and
is altogether a very good specimen. No hieroglyphies or inseriptions
have thus far been found, either on the mummy or on the outer case,
which is also in a good state of preservation. The faceand head of the
mummy are covered by a mask of green cement, the part covering the
face being gilded. A black streak one-half inch wide extends down
the cheeks and across the chin, from eye to eye. Side by side on the
chest lie four small tablets about the size of playing-cards, each one
having upon it a mummied figure of Osiris in a standing position.
Two shield-shaped ornaments le across the breast and stomach re-
spectively ; the upper one has upon it the sacred beetle with spread
wings, beneath which is a Nilometer standing between the two figures
which support a globe upon the head. The faces of the figures are cov-
ered by a square piece of gold-leaf; at the end of the wings is repre-
resented the hawk head of Ra, also supporting a globe. Over the sur-
face of the shield are painted representations of jewelry. On the lower
figure appears a kneeling figure of Nepte, with extended arms and
wings. She wears a head-band upon her head, upon which rests a globe;
on either side of the head of Nepte are two groups, each containing
three small figures. Ostrich plumes appear in the corner of the shield.
Along the leg of the mummy lies a sheet of linen, cemented (papier
miaché) at the top of which is a mummy on a dog-shaped bier. At the
head of the bier is a kneeling figure, holding an ostrich plume. Below
this is a row of kneeling figures holding plumes. Further down is a
second Nilometer, on either side of which a figure, with an implement in
each hand, faces two mummied figures, both of which have the faces
concealed with a square piece of gold-leaf. The feet are encased in a
covering of cemeuted linen.
Lieut. M. A. Shufeldt, U. S. Navy, contributed a collection of shells
from Madagascar.

From Henry D. Woolfe, in charge of the coaling station at Cape
Lisburne, Alaska, belonging to the Pacific Steam Whaling Company,
have been received collections of great interest and of varied character,
full lists being given in Part V; not the least interesting are the nests _
and eggs of several species of birds which breed in this remote locality.
Mr. Charles H. Townsend, an assistant of the U.S. Fish Commission,
was sent to Alaska by the Commission to make some investigations
into the fur-seal fisheries on the Pribyloff Islands, and during his stay,
through the courtesy of Captain Healy, he accompanied the United
States revenue steamer Corwin to Hotham Inlet. Thence in the steam-
launch Mr. Townsend proceeded, under the guidance of Lieutenant
Cantwell, to the mouth of the Kowak, and up the river to the head of
navigation. On this occasion a large collection * of fishes, birds, mam-
mals, and plants, together with a valuable series of ethnological ob-
jects, was secured.
The collection of birds is especially valuable, and among the rarest
species may bementioned: Tringa damacensis,an Asiatic sandpiper, new
to the North American fauna; Plectrophenax hyperboreus, which was
found breeding on Hall Island, in Bering Sea; a good series of the Una-

ENGLAND,
A most interesting addition was an “ exchequer tally ” presented by

under accession 66213.
This was used by the court of exchequer of England as a record of and
receipt for money loaned to or by the Government. Tally sticks circu-
lated as money in England in 1697. The tally now presented is for
£100,000, in part principal of the loan of £1,400,000 from Government,
and for £6,049 6s. 3d. for interest thereon, due September 30, 1776.
Paid November 28, 1776.*
* The Saxon kings of England kept the record of their public accounts on notched
sticks, and the same system of registering loans was practised by the Court of Ex-
chequer until the year 1783, when by Act of Parliament, under George III, a new
method was adopted,
A supply of hazel, ash, or willow sticks was kept for the use of the Treasury ; when
seasoned and prepared, notches were made on one side by the cutter of tallies, and
Roman numerals were inscribed on the opposite side by the writer of tallies. The
notches were made of different sizes to represent pounds, shillings, pence, and a hun-
dred or even a thousand pounds. The stick was then split through the center by the
Deputy Chamberlain, with a knife and mallet; one portion being called a tally, or the
scacha, stipes, or kancia, and the other portion the counter-tally, or folium. The
date of the deposit or credit and that when payment would fall due, and the name of
the person having the claim upon the Treasury was also inscribed upon the tally.
When payment was due, the counter-tally was presented at the Treasury, and, if it
fitted with the tally the money was paid, and the two parts put together and filed
away a8 a permanent record of settlement.
In 1697, while the metallic currency ot Lnogland was being recoined, there was a
great scarcity of currency, and exchequer tally sticks were put in general circulation
as money. The regular currency, also the exchequer tallies, depreciated greatly.
The Bank of England advertised a new loan of £1,000,000, offering to take 80 per cent.
of the same in tally sticks, and this relieved the Government of £800,000 outstanding
promises to pay, which became due t]e2 Bank, an easy creditor of the King.
In 1834, by order of Parliament, the great quantity of tallies which had acecumu-
lated in hundreds of years were burned in the stoves at the House of Lords, and, un-
fortunately, the great heat set fire to the building and consumed the Iouses of Parlia-
ment, October 16, 1834,

5. CO-OPERATION OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND BUREAUS OF THE GOY-
ERNMENT.
As in previous years, the National Museum has enjoyed the valuable
co-operation of the various Departments of the Government.
A number of collections have been received from various agents em-
ployed by the Departments at home and abroad, who during time not
occupied in official duties have employed themselves in scientific in-
vestigations and in collecting material for the Smithsonian Institution,
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 67

6. REPORT UPON THE EXHIBIT MADE BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITU-
TION AT THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
BY R. EDWARD EARLL.
In accordance with an executive order of May 13, 1884, there was
organized a Board of Government Commissioners charged with making
the necessary arrangements for a general Government display at three
exhibitions, namely, the Southern Exposition at Louisville, Ky., open-
ing August 16 and continuing until October 25; the Cincinnati Indus-
trial Exposition to be held at Cincinnati, Ohio, between September 3
and October 4; and the World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Ex-
position at New Orleans, beginning December 16, 1884, and continuing
till May 31, 1885. The board consisted of one representative from each
of the Government Departments; and, in addition, a representative
from the Smithsonian Institution, including the U. S. National Museum
and the U.S. Fish Commission; and one from the Department of Agri-
culture.
To this board were referred all questions relating to the participation
by the Government in the various exhibitions. Each Representative
was charged with the preparation of an exhibit for the Department.
with which he was connected, and the funds placed to its credit by Con-
gress were to be disbursed under his direction. Prof. G. Brown Goode,
Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in charge of the
U.S. National Museum, who had represented the U. S. Fish Commis-
sion at the Fisheries Exhibition at Berlin in 1880, and that at London
in 1883, was nominated by Professor Baird, to represent the three or-
ganizations above named, and a day or two later he received an official
appointment from the President of the United States. The board held
an informal conference in Washington, beginning May 7, for the pur-
pose of drawing up an outline of the work in connection with the several
expositions, and for submitting estimates of the amount of money re-
quired by each Department for preparing a satisfactory exhibit.- The
passage of the bill authorizing the expenditure of money in connec-
tion with these exhibitions was considerably delayed, and the funds
did not become available until July 7. At this time there were placed
to the credit of the Smithsonian Institution $75,000 for the preparation
of exhibits for the exposition at New Orleans, with $2,500 additional
for Louisville and $2,300 for Cineinnati. Only a few weeks remained
before the opening of the two last-named exhibitions, and the exhibit
for each of these, owing to the limited time remaining, was necessarily
less complete than it would otherwise have been; though the work was
pushed vigorously, beginning immediately after the appropriations be-
came available, and continuing till a few days before the opening of
'
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. ok
the exhibitions, when the exhibits were shipped and officers of the
Museum proceeded to the respective cities to see to the proper installa-
tion of the collections.
THE EXHIBIT AT LOUISVILLE.
In 1883 the people of Louisville obtained control of a large plat of
ground within easy access of the city and erected a building 920 feet by
630 feet, with extensive galleries, where they held a large and success-
ful exposition, continuing for three months. The exposition of 1884 was
held under the same auspices and in the same building, opening August
16 and closing October 25.
Immediately upon the passage of the bill by Congress, correspond-
ence was opened with the management of the exposition, and space
obtained in different portions of the building for the several Executive
Departments, 4,500 feet being assigned to the Smithsonian Institution,
in one of the most prominent locations. The time being short, the work
of preparing the exhibit was vigorously prosecuted, and on August 12
three cars, containing ninety-five cases, with a weight of 23,553 pounds,
were shipped. These arrived at Louisville on the morning of the 16th,
and by the evening of the 19th were fully installed.
The industrial interests of Kentucky were taken into consideration
in deciding upon the character of the exhibit, which it was thought
desirable to make as instructive as possible. It was largely an educa-
tional exhibit, showing the processes of manufacture of raw materials
which are abundant in the State, to which were added specimens illus-
trating certain subjects which it was thought would prove both novel
and interesting to the people of Kentucky. One of the prominent feat-
ures of the exhibit was a large collection showing the process of manu-
facturing textiles from raw materials, including flax, hemp, jute, grasses,
and silk. — et

REPORT UPON THE WORK IN THE DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN
ABORIGINAL POTTERY IN THE U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR THE
YEAR ENDING JUNE 380, 1886,
By WiturAm H. Houmes, Honorary Curator.
The department of aboriginal pottery has been enriched during the
year by several very important accessions, numbering about 1,500 entries,
but including a much larger number of pieces. In previous years the
coliections consisted to a large extent of modern products, most of which
were derived from the pueblo towns of New Mexico and Arizona, but
the body of the accessions of this year are prehistoric and represent
localities widely distributed.over the American continent.
The agencies through which these acquisitions were made are (1)
those of the National Museum and the Smithsonian Institution, in-
cluding donations, purchases, and the products of original research by
the agents of these departments, and (2) those of the Bureau of Kthnol-
ogy through corresponding channels. The bulk of the year’s material
has been acquired through the agencies of the latter organization.
From the Mississippi Valley and the more easterly sections of the
United States collections were made chiefly by the agents of the Bureau
of Ethnology, working under the supervision of Dr. Cyrus Thomas.
They were obtained from mounds, graves, shell heaps, and from the
surface of the ground, and include many pieces of the ordinary -abo-
riginal vases, pipes, etc., mostly of types already well represented in
the collection, but of much importance and interest as filling up gaps
in the series. In all there are upwards of 409 numbers.
From the pueblo country the most important accessions are of the
ancient wares of eastern-central Arizona and western-central New
Mexico, and are the product of excavations made by Mr. E. W. Nelson.
They consist chiefly of vases and fragments of the coiled and white
wares of the earliest-known periods of puebio occupation and exhibit
a number of new forms such as are not found farther north. Mr. James
Stevenson secured a number of ancient pieces from the province of Tu-
sayan.
The purchase of two collections of Mexican antiquities has added
much to the collections of pottery. A small number of pieces come
from the valley of Mexico, but the more important accessions are from
H. Mis. 170, pt. 2——7 97
98 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
Oaxaca. The latter include a series of ceremonial vases: elaborately
embellished with figures of Tlaloc and other mythologic personages.
A small collection, including both ancient and modern wares, was male
in the vicinity of Guadalajara, by Dr. E. Palmer. The ancient pieces
are of types corresponding closely to those of Tula and the valley of
Mexico.
{mportant additions were made to our already rich collections from
the province of Chiriqui, Colombia. The field-work was done by Mr.
J. A. MeNiel, and the specimens were acquired by the Museum through
purchase and through donation, about 50 fine pieces having been pre-
_ sented to the Museum by Mr. J. B. Stearns, of Short Hills, N. J.
The work of classifying and arranging continued steadily during the
year, and such progress was made that in June the hall was opened to
the public, a small space only being reserved for the reception and
classification of new collections. Careful attention has been given to
the placing of the material with a view of avoiding confusion and of
making the classification of the ware apparent at a glance. The great
wall case is entirely filled with the modern wares of the American In-
dians, the greater part of the space being devoted to the wares of the
pueblo Indians. Beginning at the right, on entering the hall, the two
first sections are occupied by the polished black pottery of the Rio
Grande pueblos. Following this ware in order are the various products
of the pueblos in the Rio Grande Valley, most notable among which are
the artistic vases of Acoma. Beyond this, occupying part of the north
and all of the west sides of the hall, are the striking products of the
pueblo of Zuni, and on the south are the rich-colored wares of Moki.
The modern products are confined exclusively to the wall case. The
central case contains about 500 pieces of ancient pueblo ware, chrono-
logically arranged; beginning with the most archaic forms on the lower
shelves, ascent is made through the three succeeding groups to the earlier
historic forms at the top. The remainder of the floor space is occupied
by about twenty ebony cases, in which are placed small selected series of
antique vases from Peru, Panama, Central America, Mexico, and the
mounds of the Mississippi Valley. Behind the wall case, and extending
the entire length, is a space fitted up with shelves, in which duplicates
and fragmentary pottery are stored.
The curator has been occupied during the year in preparing a paper
on the remarkable collections from the provinee of Chiriqui. The in-
troductory pages are devoted to the geography, peoples, cemeteries, and.
to other general topics. The various objects of art are discussed under
the three heads—stone, metal, and clay. The body of the work is given
to a detailed study of the ceramicart. Especial attention is given to the
decorative system of the Isthmian peoples, and the final chapter is de-
voted to a study of life forms in vase painting.
The study of this group of art products led to an investigation of the
influence of textile decoration upon the ornamentation of pottery, and
DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN ABORIGINAL POTTERY. 39
a second paper was prepared which covers the following topics: Form
in the textile art, relation of form to ornament, textile ornament, devel-
opment of a geometric system of ornament within the art, geometricity
imposed upon adopted elements, and the extension of the geometric sys-
tem to other forms of art. These papers are accompanied by over 500
illustrations. and will appear in the Sixth Annual Report of the Bureau
of Ethnology.
It is difficult to obtain a correct statement of the number of specimens
in the collection, as much of the ware is in a fragmentary condition.
A very large and important series of vases is still retained in the
Archeologie Hall of the Smithsonian Institution. It is expected that
during the coming year cases will be built and placed in the pottery court
to accommodate representative series of this material.

up the more interesting accessions and treat of them by States.
REVIEW OF IMPORTANT ACCESSIONS.
NEW YORK.
The Natural Science Association of Staten Island sent for examina-_
tion a carving in sandstone representing the head of an Indian, and
evidently of aboriginal workmanship (Fig. 1). The head, which was:
presented to the association by Mr. George F. Kunz, of New York,
measures 7 inches in height, and is made from a sandstone bowlder ; it
never belonged to a complete figure. The carving shows a low fore-
head, an aquiline nose broad at the base, full lips, aid a well-formed chin.
The eyes are far apart, and the cheek benes remarkably prominent. It
was found in Southfield, Staten Island, at a depth ef from 12 to 18 inches
in the swamp near the Fingerboard road. 55

DEPARTMENT OF COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. IAS
All these specimens are included in the statistics of the entire col-
lection previously given.
For two years past the exhibition series of the Departments of Mam-
mals and Comparative Anatomy, occupying one-eighth the exhibition
space of the Museum Building, have been prepared, mounted, classified,
arranged and labeled by six persons only. These are the curator of
mammals and one assistant, the chief taxidermist and one assistant,
the osteological preparator and one assistant. When it is taken into
consideration that to mount properly an animal like a tiger or a deer,
or to prepare and mount the skeleton of a whale, a serpent, or a large
fish occupied the attention of one person for one or more weeks, it will
be conceded that with the present force of preparators the enlargement
of the exhibition series can not be very rapid. On the other hand,
when it is understood that every specimen (and as two hundred have
been received in a single day) has to be entered in the register, with
name, locality name of donor and collector, ete.,and also in the card
catalogue, and be furnished with a number stamped in tin or wood, it
will be admitted that a single clerk must necessarily find himself un-
able to attend to the task of examining, arranging, rebottling, and
labeling material already accumulated.

The collections of Paleozoic fossils of the Fortieth Parallel Survey
were taken charge of by the writer in 1882, and as his time permitted
the material was worked over, identified and recorded. The original
field-labels were largely with the specimens, but the identifications
made by Messrs. Meek, Hall, and Whitfield were largely lost, except
in the case of the figured specimens. The entire collection has now
been labelled and turned over to the U.S. National Museum collections,
the present accession being the last.

This small collection of Devonian fossils is of interest, as it shows
tie extension of the Devonian fauna into southern-central Nevada.
17236. From the U. 8. Geological Survey, through Charles D. Walcott, in charge
Division of Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology, 3,500 specimeus of
fossils from Devonian and Silurian strata of southern Indiana and
northern Kentucky. This material has been labeled, with locality
and formation, and distributed through the main collection to be
studied when reviewing that collection.
WORK ON COLLECTIONS.
The direct work on the collections of the Museum has been the
recording, identifying, and labeling of the material mentioned under
“ accessions,” and a continuation, as opportunity offered, of the arrange-
ment of the old collections of the Smithsonian Pacheco The latter
work has been very limited, owing to the writer’s position as paleontolo-
gist in charge of the paleozoic: paleontology of the U. 8S. Geological
Survey, requiring him and his assistants to devote the most of their
tine to original work in connection with the Survey. This work will,
in a large degree, inure to the benefit of the Museum collections, as the
material studied contains many new types and large numbers of species
H. Mis. 170, pt. 2——15
226 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
illustrating the stratigraphic and geographic distribution of life during
paleozoic time.
There is at present quite a large amount of material transferred from
the Geological Survey that can be placed on exhibition as soon as cases
are prepared to receive it.
A list of the publications which appeared during the year, and which
were based on material in the collection, will be found in Part rv.
The systematic collection of Cambrian fossils, commenced in 1884,
together with the formation of a collection of material from the typical
localities of Lower Silurian and Devenian fossils, has advanced, and
large collections have been made as the means available permitted. If
this can be continued, there is, in the near future, the prospect of large
increase to the collections of the Museum. The direct field-work of the
geologists of the Geological Survey will also add to the collection as
soon as the material is studied and turned over to the Museum.
Other sources of increase will be from the accessions by exchange
and the contributions made by individuals. I think the latter source
of increase will enlarge when a portion of the collection is placed on
exhibition and parties interested know that attention will be given to
the care of their contributions.
With all of the above, there is still a source of increase that can only
be made available by the use of a collecting and purchasing fund.
There are localities that can not be properly visited and collections made
by the officers of the Geological Survey. On the northern border of the
United States, in Canada, New Brunswick, and even in Newfoundland,
it is essential that collections should be ebtained for comparative
study.
it frequently occurs that individuals who have given years to col-
lecting in some locality desire to sell their collections at a relatively
small cost as compared with the expense of collecting. When such
collections will fill gaps in the collections of the Museum it is very desir-
able, if the Museum is to take a high position in this department, that
they should be secured.
The American Museum of Natural History, in New York City paid
$65,000 for the Hall collection, and the Museum of Comparative Zoology
of Cambridge, Mass., has purchased large collections of Paleozoic fos-
sils. The National Museum does not need to make such large out-
lays.of money, but a comparatively small sum, available each year,
would, with other sources of increase, give a collection worthy of the
Museum.
The collections are now arranged in sixteen table cases in the south-
east court of the Museum. With the exception of writing out the labels
in four of the cases, and the addition of the material from accessions,
no changes have been made since the last annual report of this depart-
ment was submitted. The number of specimens was given then as
follows:

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE FOSSILS (MESOZOIC)
IN THE U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30,
1886.
By C. A. WurrkE, Honorary Curator.
The principal additions which have been made to the collections of
Mesozoic invertebrates during the past year are those which have been
sent to the Museum by the U.S. Geological Survey. Only a small part
of these have been registered in the records of the Museum; all the
others having been cleansed, ticketed, and placed in cases in the north
baleony of the Smithsonian Building. Our records show that eight
accessions have been received through the Museum, all but two of
which are small and unimportant, One of these is a small lot of Creta-
ceous fossils from Mexico, all new species, the gift of Sefior José G.
Aguilera, of the Mexican Geographical and Exploring Commission.
The other is a collection of about two hundred specimens, represent-
ing about seventy species, from M. Charpy, Director of the Museum at
Annecy, Haute-Savoy, France. They are of Jurassic and lower Creta-
ceous age.
The work of arranging and classifying the collections of the Museum
has progressed during the year, and has reached a condition in which
the collections are all accessible for convenient study, but nothing has
been done with reference to their installation, or their separation into
reserve, exhibition and exchange series.
The work of arranging and classifying has embraced the numerous
collections which have been for many years in possession of the Mu-
seum, some of which had been damaged and their labels destroyed by
the fire which occurred in the Smithsonian Building many years ago.
To identify and arrange these collections has required much labor.
Kach specimen has undergone the process of identification, cleansing,
recording upon the Museum register, being numbered in paint, labelled,
and finally arranged in trays, drawers, and cases suitable for conven-
ient reference. All of this has been done, as far as possible, in accord-
ance with the prescribed usages of the Museum, but often, in the absence
of precedent, it has been found necessary to devise new methods of ar-
rangement.
229
230 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
The arrangement in cases has been made as follows: All collections
whose entirety had not been broken, or the specimens identified and
labelled, were transferred to the north balcony of the Smithsonian Build-
ing and there arranged according to locality. To the collections of the
U.S. Geological Survey a green tag was glued upon each specimen,
bearing the accession number of the Survey. All the collections were
arranged in cases geographically and a card index made, by which
every collection can be readily referred to.
The second class of collections embraced all specimens that had been
identified and duly recorded on the Museum register and labelled in the
proper manner. The temporary arrangement of this material in the
southeast court of the Museum has been completed.
The present provisional arrangement is purely stratigraphical; only
a broad biological classification having been attempted under each geo-
logical period.
The many valuable type specimens belonging to the collection have
been arranged separately from the stratigraphical arrangement above
mentioned, so that they can be conveniently studied as a whole. These
have been collected together and reidentified by Mr. Marecou, who has
published a catalogue of the same in the proceedings of the Museum.*
During the year, 1563 entries were made in the Museum catalogue.
No estimate has been made of the total number of specimens in the
Museum collections, nor any attempt to group them into different cate-
gories.

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF FOSSIL PLANTS IN THE U. 8.
NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 380, 1886,
By Lester I. WARD, Honorary Curator.
Comparatively few additions have been made to the collection during
the year, the most iinportant being a series of 33 species (93 specimens),
presented by Mrs. H. C. Beckwith. Most of the specimens in this do-
nation were collected by Rey. A. Lakes in the vicinity of Morrison, Colo.,
the rest from Golden, Colo.
The other additions consist of specimens sent by the various cor-
respondents of the Institution for identification.
The routine work in the department has been confined to caring for
the specimens as they have been received, and in boxing up and send-
ing for determination the large mass of material, which has been aceu-
mulating for many years.
In September, 1885, ten boxes of miscellaneous material were sent to
Prof. Leo Lesquereux, of Columbus, Ohio, for identification. This
material has been accumulating since the founding of the Smithsonian
Institution, and had become of such magnitude that the question of
space was a-serious one. In working up this material Professor Lesque-
reux has found much that is incapable of satisfactory determination, and
such has been discarded. On the last of May, 1886, these specimens were
returned to the Museum, all carefully labeled. From this material Pro-
essor Lesquereux was able to determine about 150 species, of which
number 107 species were new to the collection and 14 new to science.

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF RECENT PLANTS IN THE U.S.
NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR THE Y&AR ENDING JUNE 30, 1886.
By LESTER FI. WARD, Honorary Curator.
The largest and most valuable addition to the collection was pre-
sented by Dr. V. Havard, U. 8. Army. This collection, from Texas
and the Southwest generally, contains many species new to the
herbarium and also some new to science which have recently been
described by Dr. Asa Gray and Mr. Sereno Watson. Quite a number
are species detected for the first time within the limits of the United
States. The collection is particularly rich in Composite, Graminece, and
ferns.
Next in importance is the collection of a bout 1,000 species, presented
by Mr. William .M. Canby, of Wilmington, Del., which is also rich in
western plants, particularly from Calfornia. This with the Havard
donation added over 1,500 species to the herbarium.
A fine collection of nearly 350 species from the Yellowstone National
Park was donated by Mr. Frank Tweedy. These specimens are doubly
valuable as they were used by Mr. Tweedy in the preparation of his
“Flora of the Yellowstone National Park,” recently issued (Wash-
ington, 1886).
Mr. C. G. Pringle has presented a set of his Plante Mexican col-
lected in Mexico in 1885, most of which are new to the herbarium.
Dr. Edward Palmer has also donated a set of the plants collected by
himself in southwestern Chihuahua in 1885. More than 20 per cent
of the collection consists of species new to science.
Mr. Gerald McCarthy donated nearly a complete set, about 300 spe-
cies, of his North Carolina collection of 1885. This distribution is rich
in grasses and sedges.
Besides the above donations there have been many others, of varying
size, from nearly all parts of the country, which fact goes to prove that
when the existence of the herbarium becomes more widely known the
influx of material will be rapid.
Nearly two months of the first part of the fiscal year were spent in
completing the card-catalogue of the Joad collection. This collection
consisted of about 10,000 species, 9,000 of which were new to the herb-
233
234 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
arium, for which cards had to be written. In the matter of practical
working, this card-catalogue is found to be of great value, since by
consulting it the presence or absence of any species may be at once
determined without the necessity of going to the cases. This is be-
lieved to be the only large herbarium in this country in which this
system has been adopted, and the labor of keeping it up will be very
slight compared with what it would be to prepare such a catalogue after
the accumulation of a great mass of material. No species is considered
as belonging to the collection until its card has first been written and
entered. Besides convenience of consultation, this system possesses
another point of advantage in that it furnishes the source of a record,
easily accessible, of the exact status and magnitude of the collections, ¢
matter which is open to much speculation when no such data are at
hand.
The poisoning of specimens newly received has occupied much time.
About 5,000 specimens have been permanently protected from the rav-
ages of insects. A complete immersion of the specimen in a saturated
alcoholic solution of corrosive sublimate has been found most effica-
cious.
The work which has required the largest amount of time las been
the selection of material for mounting. Instead of mounting indiserimi-
nately the mass of duplicate material which constantly comes to a col-
lection of this character, a careful comparison is always made in order
to be certain that the specimens will actually add to the ones already
in hand ; either a different phase of the plant or a new and interesting
locality. In this manner pure duplication is checked and the growth
of the herbariuin made to accommodate itself, as nearly as possible, to
the preseut somewhat restricted space. As rapidly as the specimens
selected can be mounted they are added in their systematic place to the
herbarium, so that no large amount of this new material is allowed to
accumulate and remain inaceessible.
In compliance with your circular issued March 1, 1883, much work
has been done towards perfecting a list of the cultivated plants of the
District of Columbia. Most of the time of Mr. A. L. Schott, when not_
engaged in caring for the living plants in the Museum, has been spent
in making extensive collections about the city. Several thousand spec-
imens are the result of this labor. These have all been poisoned and
await final identification, which we hope soon to have time to undertake,
A slip catalogue of those already determined has been commenced and
now contains about 1,800 slips. As the estimated number of cultivated
species is about 4,000, much work yet remains to be done.
In regard to the exhibition and study series nothing has as yet been
attempted, although a large mass of material, principally woods, fruits,
fruit vessels, ete., has accumulated. It is to be hoped that at no dis-
tant day an exhibition of this character may be undertaken, since from
an educational point of view it would undoubtedly be of great value.
When once begunits growth will be rapid, since by seeing unique vege-
DEPARTMENT OF RECENT PLANTS. Zao
table products the general public will be stimulated to give material
which is now allowed to be wasted.
The research work has been confined in the main to the identification
of material that has been sent for determination by its correspondents,
or has in other ways become the property of the department. When
the routine work of installing the collections now in hand is completed
it is hoped that more extended researches may be undertaken.
According to the record furnished by the card-catalogue, there are
now in the herbarium and accessible 15,538 species of plants. Of the
actual number of specimens it is impossible to state, but 30,000 may be
taken as a safe estimate, as it is less than an average of two to each
species. It is also impossible to give the exact number of duplicates for
distribution or exchange, but there are probably from 5,000 to 8,000
specimens.
The last entry in the Museum catalogue on June 30, 1885, was 23, and
the last on June 30, 1886, was 63, making a total of 40 entries during
the year. :

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF MINERALS IN THE U, 8. NATIONAL
MUSEUM FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 380, 1886.
By IF. W. CLARKE, Honorary Curator.
The accessions have been numerous, both by gift and exchange, and
have covered a wide range of species. Of the gifts the following have
been among the more important:
From Charles F. Brown, 35 specimers of quartz, wavellite, rutile, etc., from Arkan-

From Prof. G. B. Goode, on deposit, a carved agalmatolite plate.
From the New Orleans Exposition, through the Department of State, a series of Per.
sian turquoises.
From Thomas Donaldson, esq., on deposit, a fine series, polished, of the New Mexican
turquoise.
By purchase, a collection of nearly a thousand examples of the erys-
tallized quartz from near Hot Springs, Ark., was also acquired.
The routine work of the department, in addition to the usual details
of cataloguing, labeling, etec., has involved much labor in the identifica-
tion of species, completing exchanges, preparing and shipping sets of
minerals to schools and colleges, and correspondence. Furthermore,
great progress has been made in mounting the collection for exhibition,
and in the final distribution of the material into Museum and duplicate
series. In the latter connection the entire collection has been thoroughly
gone over and permanently classified. The final result of this classifica-
tion may be stated numerically so as to show the actual extent of the
collection on July 1, 1886:

GEM COLLECTION OF THE U. 8S. NATIONAL MUSEUM.
3y GEORGE F. KuNz.
The collection of gems exhibited by the National Museum at the
Cincinnati and New Orleans Expositions is now on exhibition in the
Museum in Washington. This much-needed accession, representing a
small part of the appropriation for the World’s Fair, promises to be
one of the most attractive and instructive features of the Museum.
The large number of visitors, who examined the collection, both at the
expositions and in its present location, can testify to its interesting
character. Although a mere beginning, it is the most complete public
collection of gems, in the United States. It is contained in three flat
plate-glass exhibition cases, the gems being neatly marked with printed
labels, and arranged on velvet pads, with a silk rope border. ‘The
diversity, brilliance, and richness of nature’s brightest colors displayed
render the whole effect a very attractive and pleasing one. The col-
lection begins with a suite of glass models of the historical diamonds,
followed by a series of diamonds in their natural state, among which is
an interesting octahedron, 18 carats in weight*, and by two smaller,
though very perfect, octahedra of about 2 carats each. These speci-
mens are good illustrations of the form from South Africa, though of
little commercial value as gems. One dozen other crystals, from one
quarter to 1 carat in weight, complete a representative set of form and
occurrence in that region. Next we have a very neat set of a dozen
more crystals, small, but choice, principally from India and Brazil, for-
merly belonging to the Mallet collection. One of these is a perfect
cube, a form peculiar to Brazil, while another is twinned parallel to the
octahedron. Another stone of 1 carat is only half cut, and for compar-
ison we have a stone of about the same weight completely cut.
*Gems are generally bought and sold by the weight, called a carat, which is equal
to about 3.168 troy grains. It is usually divided, however, into 4 diamond or pear]
grains, each of which is .7925 of a true grain. Fractions of a carat are also known
as fourth, eighths, sixteenths, thirty-seconds, and sixty-fourths. The weight of the
carat formerly differed slightly in different countries, and this diversity finally led a
syndicate of Parisian jewelers, goldsmiths, and gem dealers, in 1871, to propose a
standard carat. This was subsequently confirmed by an arrangement between the
diamond merchants of London, Paris, and Amsterdam, fixing the uniform value of
the diamond (?) carat at . 205 gramm,

268 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
Among the sapphires, we find a carat oblong stone of dark blue color,
from the Jenks mine, Macon County, North Carolina, which has yielded a
few fair sapphirés—yellow, violet, and blue—and a few rubies, some of
the finest of which were in the Leidy collection; also the first stones found —
here, the dark brown, asteriated sapphires, described in ‘Transactions
of the New York Academy of Sciences,” March, 1883, and two other
cut stones weighing from 4 to 8 carats. These all show a slight
bronze play of light on the dome of the cabochon in ordinary light,
but, under artificial light, they all show well-defined stars, being really
asterias or star sapphires, and not cat’s eyes, as would seem at first glance.
There are also two cut stones, light blue and light green, weighing 1 and
2 carats respectively, which, for light-colored sapphires, are perhaps,
when cut, brighter than those from any otherlocality. The cutting of one
of these gems has given it a remarkable luster. ‘They are found in the
sluice-boxes atand near Helena, Mont. Following are two broken crys-
tals of the dark-green sapphires from the quite recent find at the Hills of
Precious Stones in Siam, beautifully dichroic, being green and blue
when viewed in different axes. The most showy group among the sap-
phires is a lot of thirteen assorted fancy stones, ranging from one-half
to 4 carats in size. It includes two oriental amethysts, one oriental
topaz, two pale rubies, four blue, one light-blue opalescent, one pale
green, and two white sapphires. An asteria of good blue color, meas-
uring nearly 1 inch across, a beautiful 2-carat ruby-asteria, and a small
three-quarter-carat ruby, of fair color, complete the corundum gems.
The series of spinels is well chosen and varicolored ; it consists of a
long 2-carat stone of green color, an oblong almandine-colored stone
of 3 carats, an inky stone of 14 carats, a half-carat ruby spinel of fair
color, a pretty rubicelle of three-quarters of a carat, and a suite of erys-
tals of the ruby-colored spinel from Ceylon and Burmah. We have
also a cut Alexandrite (so called after the Czar Alexander I), from the
original Russian locality. This is of fair color; but the wonderful
Ceylonese gems of recent years have really given to this phenomenal
variety of chrysoberyl, which changes from green to red under artifi-
cial light, its present high rank among gems. There is a 6-carat
typical chrysoberyl (the chrysolite of the jeweler), finely cut, truly, as
the name indicates, golden beryl; and a dark green one of that shade,
repeatedly sold as Alexandrite, though it does not change color by ar-
tificial light; also a rich yellowish-brown specimen of 1} carats. 2 =a wien arts oeiate ie eetoce ares

ingredient whose presence can result in little that is good and perhaps
a great deal that is bad. It should be noted that pyrite on decompos-
ing, may give rise to sulphates and perhaps to free sulphuric acid,
which in themselves aid in the work of disintegration.
‘In limestones or dolomites the presence of iron pyrites operates dis-
astrously; for, if magnesia be present, the sulphuric acid from the
decomposing iron pyrites produces a soluble efflorescent salt, which
exudes to the surface and forms white patches, which are alternately
yashed off and replaced, but leaving a whitened surface probably
from the presence of sulphate of lime. If the limestone be entirely
ealeareous, the salt formed (a sulphate of lime) is insoluble, and
therefore produces less obvious results. In some cases, however, the
lime of which the mortar or cement 1s made may contain magnesia,
and the decomposition of the iron pyrites in the adjacent stone pro-
duces an efflorescent salt which exudes from the joints. This con-
dition is not unfrequently observed in buildings constructed of the
bluestone of the Hudson River group. As an example, we may notice
the efflorescent patches proceeding from some of the joints between
the stones of St. Peter’s Church, on State street, in Albany.”*
MAGNETITE. Magnetic Iron Ore.—Composition : FeO4-Fe2,03 = iron sesquioxide,
68.97 per cent. ; iron protoxide, 31.05 per cent. Hardness, 5.5 to 6.5,
This occurs as an original constituent in many schists and granites 5
in the latter usually in minute erystals visible only with the microscope.
Itis almost invariably present in igneous rocks such as diorite, diabase,
and basalt. When present in considerable quantities it sometimes
becomes converted entirely into the sesquioxide of iron through taking
oxygen from the the atmosphere. It then stains the rock a rusty red
color, as is observable in many diabases.
HEMATITE. Specular Iron Ore.—Chemical composition: Anhydrous sesquioxide
of iron, Fe,03,— iron, 70.9 per cent.; oxygen, 30.20 per cent.
This mineral occurs in varying proportions in rocks of all ages. In
granite it usually occurs as minute scales of a blood-red color. In the
amorphous form it often forms the cementing material of sandstones,
when it imparts to them a red or reddish-brown color. This form of iron
oxide is, however, less common as a cementing substance than the
hydrous sesquioxides turgite and limonite, which are the forms occurring
in the Triassic sandstones of the eastern United States.t
~ * Halls Report on Building Stone, p. 50. The white efllorescence so frequently
seen on stone and brick buildings, seems, according to good authorities, to be, in
most cases, due to the mortar in which the stone is laid, and is not an inherent qual-
ity of the stone itself. The subject is, therefore, not more fully dwelt upon in the
present work.

J.—PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES O¥ ROCKS.
A little space may be well devoted here to a consideration of those
properties of rocks which can be grouped under the heads of density,
hardness, and structure, together with notes on their color and chemical
composition.
(1) DENSITY AND HARDNESS.
Density.—This is an important property, since upon it are depencent
to a large extent the weight per cubic foot, the strength, and the absorp-
tive powers of the stone. Among rocks of the same mineral composi-
tion, those which are the densest will be found heaviest, least absorptive,
and usually the strongest.
To ascertain the weight of a rock it is customary to compare its
weight with that of an equal bulk of distilled water, in other words to
ascertain its specific gravity. The specific gravity multipled by 62.5
pounds (the weight of a cubic foot of water) will thus give the weight
per cubic foot of stone. The weights given in the tables have been thus
computed. (See p. 000.)
Hardness.—The apparent hardness of a rock is dependent upon (1) the
hardness of its component minerals and (2) their state of aggregation.
However hard the minerals of a rock may be, it appears soft and works
readily if the particles adhere with slight tenacity. Many of the softest
sandstones are composed of the hard mineral quartz, but the grains fall
apart so readily that the stone is as a whole soft. (See under State of
Aggregation.)
(2) STRUCTURE.
Under this head are considered those characters of rocks which are
dependent upon the form, size, and arrangement of their component
minerals.
All rocks may be classified sufficiently close for present purposes
under one of the three heads (1) crystalline, (2) vitreous or glassy, and
(3) fragmental. Of the first, granite and crystalline limestone may be
considered as types; of the second, obsidian and pitchstone, and of the
third, sandstone. Many structural properties are common to all, others
are confined to rocks of a single type. Accordingly as the structure is
or is not readily recognizable by the unaidea eye, we have:
(1) Macroscopic structure, or structure which is distinguishable in the
hand specimen and without the aid of a microscope.—Under this head are
comprehended structures designated by such names as granular, mass-
ive, stratified, foliated, porphyritic, coneretionary, ete.; terms whose
precise meaning is given in the glossary, and which, with perhaps one
or two exceptions, need not be further considered here; and
(2) Microscopie struetures.—Many rocks are so fine grained and com-
pact that nothing of their mineral nature or structure can be learned
from study with the eye alone, and recourse must be had to the micro-

scope. In such cases it is customary among lithologists to grind a small
chip of the rock so thin as to be transparent, and then, when properly
mounted in Canada balsam, to submit it to microscopic study. By this
method many important points of structure and composition are brought
out that would otherwise be unattainable. The physical condition of
the minerals of a rock, their freedom from decomposition, and methods
of arrangement can often only be ascertained by this method. By it
the presence of many minute and perhaps important ingredients is
made known whose presence would otherwise be unsuspected. This
subject is further treated under the head of Rock-forming minerals and
the descriptions of the various kinds of rocks.
In Fig. 1 of Pl. 11 is shown the structure of the muscovite biotite
granite of Hallowell, Me., drawn as are the other figures on this plate
from thin sections and under a magnifying power of about twenty-five
diameters. This is a granite of quite complex structure, consisting of
(1) orthoclase, (2) microcline, (3) plagioclase, (4) quartz, (5) black mica,
or biotite, and (6) white mica or muscovite. There are also little needles
of apatite, scattering grains of magnetite, and occasionally small gar-
nets present, which, however, do not show in the figure. The quartz,
moreover, is pierced in every direction by minute hair-like crystals
which are supposed tq be rutile. The structure, as in all granites and
eneisses, is crystalline throughout, asin the marbles (Fig. 3) and diabase
(Fig. 4). The crystals are, however, very imperfect in outline, owing to
mutual interference in process of formation. Although the rock con-
tains a very large proportion of the hard minerals quartz and feldspar,
these do not interlock so thoroughly as do the augite and feldspars in
the diabase. As, moreover, quartz is a brittle substance, these rocks
work much more readily and will crush under Jess pressure than those
of which Fig. 4 is a type.
In Fig. 2 of the same plate is shown the structure of an oolitic lime-
stone from Princeton, in Caldwell County, Kentucky. It will be noticed
that the first step in the formation of this stone was the deposition of
concentric coating of iime about a nucleus which is sometimes nearly
round, but more frequently quite angular and irreguJar. After the
coneretions were completed there were formed in all cases about each
one narrow zones of minute radiating erystals of clear, colorless eal-
cite; then the larger crystals formed in the interstices. An examina-
tion of the section in polarized light shows that while the concentric
portions are nearly always amorphous the nuclei (and always the in-
terstitial matter) is frequently crystalline. The nuclei are composed in
some cases of single fragments or, again, of a group of fragments. Cer-
tain of the oolites present no distinct concentric structure, but appear
as mere rounded masses merging gradually into the erystalline interstitial
portions. On the application of acetic acid to an uncovered slide of this
rock a brisk effervescence at once set in, which, when the slide was again
placed on the stage of the microscope, was seen not to arise from all \
304 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
portions of the slide alike, but to be confined almost exclusively to the
outer non-crystalline portions of the oolites, so that in time these almost
completely disappeared, leaving the crystalline nuclei and cementing
material till the yery last. Some of the outlines thus left are peculiarly
deceptive, having almost the appearance of a cross-section of coral or a
crinoid stem. This structure is common, so far as I have observed, to
all the oolitic limestones of both Kentucky and Indiana. In the weath-
ering of these stones then we would have produced an effect precisely
the opposite of that produced in fragmental siliceous rocks. In the
latter case the cement is removed and the grains themselves are but
slightly acted upon; in the former, the grains themselves disappear
and the cementing material remains.
It should be remarked, however, that we have as yet no proof that
the action of an acid atmosphere on one of these oolites would proceed
with other than extreme slowness. In fact, their compactness, freedom
from cleavage, fractures, and flaws would seem to indicate just the con-
trary. Further investigations on this point are necessary before one can
speak definitely.
The microscopic structure of ordinary white crystalline limestone is
shown in Fig. 3, drawn from a magnified section of a West Rutland
marble. The entire mass of the rock, it will be observed, is made up
of small calcite crystals of quite uniform size closely locked together,
and with no appreciable interspaces. The dark stripes across the crys-
tals are caused by twin lamellz and cleavage lines. All traces of its
fossil origin, if such it had, have been obliterated by metamorphism.
Fig. 4 is that of a diabase from Weehawken, N. J. The elongated,
nearly colorless crystals, shaded with long parallel lines, are a plagio-
clase feldspar, the very irregular ones augite, while the perfectly black
and opaque are magnetite. The figure is, however, given to show the
structure rather than the mineral composition of the rock. It will be
noticed that every portion of available space is occupied, there being
no residual spaces to be filled by cement, as in the sandstone; also that
the feldspars and augites so closely interlock that they can not be forced
apart without breaking. As both of these minerals are quite tough
and hard, the great strength, durability, and hard-working qualities of
the rock can readily be understood, although the constituents them-
selves are not harder than those that go to make up some of the most
friable sandstones.
As showing the differences in structure and composition of the sand-
stones, Figs. 5 and 6 are given, drawn from thin sections of the brown
Triassic stone from Portland, Conn., and areddish Potsdam stone from
quarries in the town of Potsdam, N. Y. In the first mentioned, Fig. 6,
the stone, it will be noticed, is com posed of (1) clear, augular grains of
quartz, (2) clouded grains of orthoclase and plagioclase, the latter being
recognized by its parallel banding, and numerous irregular and con-
torted shreds of black and white mica. These are all crowded into a

loosely compacted mass and the interstices filled by a cement composed
of an amorphous mixture of iron oxides, carbonate of lime, and clayey
matter. ‘These are represented in black in the figure. It will be ob-
served that only the quartzes and a few of the feldspars are in a fresh and
undecomposed condition, nearly all of the latter being badly kaolinized.
The Potsdam stone (Fig. 5) shows, however, a markedly different struct-
ure. Here the granwes are wholly of quartz, and very much rounded
in form. No feldspars, mica, or other minerals are present. The orig-
inal rounded outline of the quartz granule is shown by the dotted
lines and deeply shaded portions, while every portion of the interstices
is occupied by a clear, colorless, siliceous cement binding the rock into
a hard, compact, and impervious quartzite almost absolutely unaffected
by chemical and atmospheric agencies.*
The cause of the wide variation in relative durability of stones of
these two types becomes now at once apparent. In the first case the
abundant amorphous cement is not only slightly soluble, and lable to
partial removal by the water from rains, but it also facilitates the
absorption of a proportionally large amount of moisture. On being
subjected to repeated freezing and thawing while in this saturated
condition, the grains gradually become loosened and the characteristic
sealing results. Stones of the Potsdam type, on the other hand, are
practically non-absorptive and insoluble, and are susceptible to no other
natural influences than the constant expansion and contraction caused
by changes in temperature. They are consequently vastly more dura-
ble. Unfortunately they are also much harder, and hence can be
utilized only at greatly increased expense.
(3) STATE OF AGGREGATION.
This is one of the most important properties of building-stone, since
is dependent upon it very largely the hardness or softness of a rock
and its consequent working qualities. Many rocks composed of hard
*This rock shows to beautiful advantage the secondary enlargement of quartz
granules by deposition of interstitial silica having the same crystallographic orien-
tation as the granules themselves, a peculiarity first noted by the Swedish geologist
Tornebohm, later by Sorby (Quar. Jour. Geol. Soc., 1880, p. 58), and sinee described
in great detail in American rocks by Irving and Van Hise, (Am. Jour. of Sci., June,
1883; also Bull. No. 8, U.S. Geol. Survey). I may say further here that the red and
brown colors of our Triassic sandstones seem to be due not merely to the thin pelli-
cle of iron oxides with which each granule is surrounded, but the feldspathic grains—
often badly decomposed—are stained throughout by the same material, and which
also occurs mixed with clayey, calcareous and silicious matter forming the cemeut.
This is never the case, so far as I have observed, in the Potsdam stones, in which the
oxide occurs only as a thin coating around each granule, as shown by the shaded por-
tious in Fig. 5. My own experience, also, is to the effect that the fragments, of which
the Triassic stones are composed, are much less rounded by attrition than seems
ordinarily supposed, or as they are represented when figured. Fig. 4 is very typical
of the Portland stone, but it does not in the least resemble that given in Fig. 6,
Plate xu, Lith. & Min. of New Hampshire. Naturally, however, samples seleeted
from different beds, or from different localities, will be found to vary greatly.
H. Mis, 170, pt. 2——20
306 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
materials work readily because their grains are but loosely coherent, while
others of softer materials are quite tough and difficult to work owing
to the tenacity with which their particles adhere to one another. QOb-
viously a stone in which the grains adhere closely and strongly one to
another will be less absorbent and more durable under pressure than
one which is loose textured and friable. A rock is called jflinty when
fine grained and closely compacted like flint; earthy when partially de-
composed into earth or loam; friable when it falls easily into powder
or crumbles readily under the tool. Upon the state of aggregation and
the fineness of the grain is dependent very largely the kind of fracture
possessed by a rock. Fine grained, compact rocks like flint, obsidian,
and some limestones, break with concave and convex shell like surfaces,
forming a conchoidal fracture; such stone are called plucky by the work-
men and they are often quite difficult to dress on this account. Others
break with a rough and jagged surface called hackly or splintery. When
as in free-working sandstone and granite the broken surface is quite
straight and free from inequalities they are referred to as having a
straight or right fracture.
(4) RIFT AND GRAIN.
The rift of a rock is the direction parallel to its foliation or bedding
and along which it can usually be relied upon to split with greatest
ease. It is best represented in mica schist, gneiss, and other rocks of
sedimentary origin. Itisa property, however, common to massive rocks,
though usually much less pronounced. The grain is always in a direc-
tion at right angles with the rift.
These are two most important qualities in any stone that itis desired
to work into blocks of any regularity of shape. Without them the
production of rough blocks for street paving or for finely finished work
would be possible only with greatly increased expense, and only the
very softest stones could be worked with any degree of economy.
With them the hardest rocks are sometimes most readily worked. Thus
the Sioux Fails (Dak.) quartzite, one of the hardest known rocks, is as
readily broken out into square blocks for paving as a granite or soft
sandstone.
(5) COLOR.
The color of a stone is as a rule dependent more upon its chemical
than its physical properties. As will be noted, however, the color of
the granites and similar rocks is sometimes varied in shades of light
and dark accordingly as the feldspar are vlear and glassy and absorb
the light or white and opaque and reflect it. The chief coloring matter in
rocks is iron, which exists either in chemical combination with the vari-

eolor denotes the absence of iron in any of its forms. On the condition
of the iron is dependent also the permanency of color. Hither the sul-
phide, carbonate or other protoxide compounds, are liable to oxidation,
and hence stones containing it in these forms fade or turn yellowish and
stain on exposure. The sesquioxide on the other hand can undergo no
further oxidation, and hence the color caused by it is the most durable.
Hence, as a rule, the decidedly red colors may be considered most per-
manent. :
The blue and black colors of marbles and limestones are due largely
to carbonaceous matter.
The effects of the various mineral constituents in Warying the shades
of colors are mentioned in the chapter on rock-forming minerals and in
the descriptions of the different kinds of stones. Great care and judg-
ment is needed in the selection of proper colors in building. Heavy
rock-faced walls of dull-brown sandstone, dark gneiss, or diabase al-
ways impart an appearance of gloom, while warm, bright colors are
cheering and pleasing to the eye. The late Architect Richardson, with-
out doubt, owed a considerable share of his success to his power of se-
lecting for any particular piece of work stone of such color as to be
most effective and harmonious in the finished structure.
(6) THE CHEMICAL CHARACTERS OF ROCKS.
This naturally varies with the mineral composition and their ever-
varying proportions. Nevertheless, it is possible to obtain general aver-
ages from which the stones of each particular kind will not be found to
vary widely. It is customary to consider rocks which, like granite, are
rich in silica as acidic, while those in which, asin basalt, the average
percentage falls below fifty are called basic. Various descriptive ad-
jectives are applied to the names of rocks according as they vary in
composition. Calcareous rocks consist principally of lime, or contain
an appreciable amount; argiliaceous contain clay, which can usually be
recognized by its odor when breathed upon; siliceous contain some
form of silica; ferruginous, iron in the form of oxide; carbonaceous, more
or less carbon ; bituminous contain bitumen, which can often be detected
by the odor of petroleum given off when the rock is freshly broken.
Calcareous rocks can always be detected from their effervescing when
treated with a dilute acid. The chemical composition of a stone is often
a guide to its suitability for structural purposes. Those containing
much lime are more liable to be unfavorably affected by the acid gases
of cities, and the various forms of iron present are of importance both
regarding the weathering properties of the stones and their colors, as
will be noticed later under special cases. A table of rock compositions
is to be found near the close of this volume.

F.—METHODS OF QUARRYING AND DRESSING.
(1) JOINTS IN ROCKS AND THEIR UTILITY IN QUARRYING.
All rocks, whatever their origin, are traversed by one or more systems
of natural seams or cracks, called joints. These vary greatly, accord-
ing to the nature of the rock in which they occur, sometimes being so
fine as to be almost imperceptible, or again perfectly distinct and capable
of being traced for many yards, or even miles. In stratified rocks (lime-
stones, sandstones, schists, etec.), according to Professor Geikie, the
joints, ‘as a rule,” run perpendicular, or approximately so, to the planes
of bedding, and descend vertically at not very unequal distances, so that
the portions of the rock between them, when seen from a distance, ap-
pear like so many wall-like masses. An important feature of these
joints, as mentioned by this authority, is the direction in which they
intersect each other. In general they have two dominant trends, one
coincident on the whole with the direction in which the strata are in-
clined from the horizon, and the other running transversely at a
right angle, or nearly so. The first are called “dip joints” or “end
joints” by the quarrymen, since they run with the dip or inclination of
the rock, while the last are called ‘“‘ strike joints,” since they conform in
direction to the strike of the rock. These last are also called “ back
joints.”
In massive rocks like granite and diabase, joints, though prevalent,
have not the same regularity of arrangement as in the stratified forma-
tions; nevertheless, most rocks of this class are traversed by two in-
tersecting sets, whereby the rock is divided into long, quadrangular,
rhomboidal, or even polygonal masses. Frequently, also, there exists
a third series of joints running in an approximately horizontal direction,
or corresponding more nearly with the bedding in stratified rocks.
These are called by quarrymen “ bottom joints,” since they form the
bottom or floor of the quarry. In some instances, as at the Hallowell
(Maine) granite quarries, these bottom joints are so pronounced that no
artificial means are required to start the rock from its bed after being
freed at the sides and ends.
The cause of these joints has never been fully and satisfactorily ex-
plained. By some they are supposed to be due to contraction caused
by cooling, and by others it is supposed that they are simply fractures
produced by earthquakes. Obviously, the matter can not be discussed
here, and the reader is referred to the various text-books on geology.
But whatever may have been their origin, their presence is a matter
of great importance to quarrymen, and, indeed, the art of quarrying has
been well stated by Professor Geikie to cunsist in taking advantage of
these natural planes of division. By their aid large quadrangular blocks
BUILDING AND ORNAMENTAL STONES. 311
ean be wedged off which would be shattered if exposed to the risk of
biasting.*
(2) GRANITE QUARRYING.
The methods of quarrying naturally vary with the kind and quality
of the material to be extracted. In all the odject aimed at is to obtain
the largest and best shaped blocks with the least outlay of time and
money, and this, too, so far as possible, without the aid of explosives of
any kind, since the sudden jar thus produced is extremely liable to de-
velop incipient fractures and so shatter as to ruin valuable material.
In quarrying granite there is less to fear from the use of explosives
than in either sandstone or marble, while, at the same time, the greater
hardness of the stone renders the quarrying of it by other means a mat-
ter of considerable difficulty and expense.
In the leading quarries of Maine and Massachusetts no machinery is
used other than the steam drill and hoisting apparatus. By means of
the drills a lewist hole or a series of lewis holes is put down at proper
intervals to a depth dependent upon the thickness of the sheets. These
are then charged, not too heavily, and fired simultaneously. Jn the
Hallowell quarries, where the sheets of granite are entirely free from
one another, this is all that is necessary to loosen the blocks from the
quarry, and they are then broken up with wedges. In many quarries,
however, where the sheets are thicker or the bottom joints less dis-
tinct, it is necessary to drill a series of horizontal holes along the line
where it is wished to break the rock from the bed and then complete
the process with wedges.
(8) MARBLE QUARRYING.
In quarrying marble and other soft rocks, channeling machines are
now largely used. These, as shown in the illustration (page 312), run
on narrow tracks, back and forth over the quarry bed, cutting, as they
go, vertical channels some 2 inches in width and from 4 to 6 feet in
depth. After the channels are completed a series of holes from 8 inches
to 2 feet apart are drilled along the bottom of the block, which is then
split from its bed by means of wedges. This under drilling is called
by quarrymen “ gadding,” and special machines, which are known as
‘‘ adding machines,” have been designed for the purpose. (See fig-
ures on pages 325 and 326.) At the Vermont marble quarries both the
* A good illustration of the utility of jointed structure as an aid to quarrying sedi-
mentary rocks is offered in the Primordial conglomerates about Boston. These consist
of a greenish gray groundmass, in which are embraced a great variety of pebbles of
granite, quartzite, melaphyre, and felsite of all shapes and sizes. The beds are trav-
ersed by two series of vertical joints which cut the rock and its included pebbles,
granite, quartz, melaphyre, and felsite alike, with almost as sharp and clear a cut as
could be made by tbe lapidary’s wheel. The joints are very abundant, and in many
cases quarrying would be a practical impossibility without them. Whenever smooth
walls are required the stone is laid on its bed with the joint face outward.

about one-half the width of the block to be extracted, though this
depth, as well as the frequency of the holes, must necessarily vary with
the character of the rift of the rock.
(4) SANDSTONE QUARRYING.
In the quarrying of the Triassic sandstones at Portland, Conn., the
channeling machine is also used to some extent, but the prevailing
method of loosening large blocks is by deep drill holes charged with
heavy blasts of powder. These holes, which are made by a crude ma-
chine driven by cranks, like an ordinary derrick, are 10 inches in diam-
eter and about 20 feet deep. Into these are put from 25 to 75 pounds
of powder, contained in a flattened or oval tin cannister, with the edges
unsoldered and closed at the ends by paper or cloth. This is placed in
the hole in such a position that a plane passing through its edges is in
line with the desired break, and fired. In this way large blocks are
freed from the quarry, and these are then broken to any required size,
as follows: The workmen first cut with a pick a sharp groove some 4 to
8 inches deep along the full length of the line where it is desired the
stone shall break. Into this groove are then placed, at intervals of a
few inches, large iron wedges, which are then in turn struck repeated

blows by heavy sledge-hammers in the hands of the quarrymen
until the rock falls apart. This process will be made plain by refer-
ence to Plate III. In some of the quarries of softer sandstone no ma-
chines at.all are used, the channeling being done entirely with picks
and the stone forced out by means of iron bars alone, or split out with
plug and feather. To allow of this, however, the stone must be evenly
and thinly bedded, and the different sheets adhere to one another
with but slight tenacity, as is the case with certain of the New York
‘“‘bluestones ” and Berea grits of Ohio. In the New York quarries the
vertical joints are said to be so numerous as to practically do away with
the necessity of channeling.*
Powder is still largely used in most of the smaller quarries, and in
all those of granite rock for throwing off large masses. If properly
used with these harder varieties, it is doubtful if any serious harm re-
sults, but inthe quarrying of marbleand other soft stones, its use can not
be too strongly condemned. As suggested by Sperrt the rapid disinte-
gration of the Carrara marble is no doubt caused in part by the in-
cipient fractures induced through the crude methods of quarrying em-
ployed. Excepting when, as in the case of granite, no other means can
be employed, explosives of all kinds are to be avoided. When neces-
sary, they should be used in a lewis hole, whereby direction may be
given to the force of the discharge and the shock distributed over large
surfaces.
(5) CUTTING AND DRESSING STONE.
In cutting and dressing stone the same slow hand processes that were
in vogue hundreds of years ago are still largely employed. There have
been, it is true, many machines invented for this purpose, but the ma-
jority of them are far from satisfactory in their working qualities, or
the cost of running them is so great that they can be used only by the
larger and wealthier firms. After a large mass has been split from the
quarry bed itis broken into blocks of the required size and shape by
means of wedges.
uninteresting. Such occur and are quarried to a considerable extent at
3yron, Fond du Lae, and Eden, it; Fond du Lae County, but although the
stone seems very durable, its hardness is such that it has not been used
for facings or any kind of ornamental work. Coarse drab dolomites are
quarried for general building at Ledyard and Kaukauna, in Outagamie
County; at Neenah and Oshkosh, Winnebago County, and at Dueck
Creek Station, in Brown County. In various parts of Waukesha County
there occurs a light drab, sometimes almost white, dolomite, which,
though a hard stone to cut, has been quite extensively used and with very
good effect for general building. At Eden, Oak Centre, and Sylvester,
Green County, a similar stone occurs, which also crops out in Calumet
County. Here it is of a white mottled color, takes a good polish, and
is locally called marble.
Near Racine there occur beds of dolomite, varying from coarse, porous,
and irregularly bedded to a fine, compact, and homogeneous rock, emi-
nently adapted for fine building material, though not well suited for
ornamental work. The quarries are very extensively worked. Other
quarries in the same formation occur at Milwaukee, Cedarburgh, Graf-
ton, Sheboygan, and Manitowoc. The Milwaukee quarries furnish sev-
eral grades of building material, and of almost any necessary size.
These are said to be remarkable for the great depth of excellent build-
ing stone which their working has developed. ‘
Numerous other quarries occur in Rock, Dane, and La Crosse Coun-
ties, but which can not be mentioned here for lack of space.

E.—THE GRANITES AND GNEISSES.
(1) COMPOSITION AND ORIGIN.
By the term “granite” is understood a crystalline granular mixture
of the minerals quartz, orthoclase, and plagioclase, which, in varying
proportions, make up the chief bulk of the rock. Besides these, there is
nearly always present one or more of the minerals biotite, muscovite,
or hornblende, and more rarely augite, chlorite, tourmaline, graphite, and
hematite. By the aid of the microscope may frequently be detected other
accessory minerals such as apatite, epidote, zircon, magnetite, menac-
eannite, and microcline. These last, although of scientific interest, are of
little practical importance.
Microscopic study of properly prepared thin sections of granite have
shown that there are at least two varieties of feldspar and that they
are radically different. The one is orthoclase, which is usually the pre-
dominating constituent, while the other is a triclinic variety, usually
albite or oligoclase, called for convenience plagioclase when the exact
variety can not be definitely ascertained. It is easily distinguished
from the orthoclase by its beautiful banded structure as seen in polar-
ized light. A third variety, identical in chemical composition with or-
thoclase, but crystallizing in the triclinic system, is also frequently pres-
ent. This is microeline. Under the microscope it shows a peculiar
basket-work structure, due to the nearly rectangular intersection of its
lamin produced by twin formation.
The quartz does not occur in the form of crystals, but rather in that
of angular crystalline grains. It appears always fresh and glassy, but
on microscopic examination is found to contain numerous inclosures,
such as rutile needles and little prisms of apatite. A most interesting
fact is the presence of minute cavities within the quartz, usually filled
wholly or in part with aliquid, though sometimes empty. This liquid
is commonly water containing various salts, as the chloride of sodium or
potassium, which at times separates out in the form of minute crystals.
Carbonie acid is frequently present, giving rise to a minute bubble like
that of a spirit-level, and which moves from side to side of its small
chamber as though endowed with life. So minute are these cavities
that it has been estimated from one to ten thousand millions could be
contained in a single cubic inch of space.*
Granites are massive rocks, occurring most frequently associated with
the older and lower rocks of the earth’s crust, sometimes interstratified
with metamorphic rocks or forming the central portion of mountain
chains. They are not in all cases, as was onee supposed, the oldest of
* Judd on Volcanoes, p. 64.
408 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
rocks, but occur frequently in eruptive masses or bosses, invading rocks
of all ages up to late Mesozoic or Tertiary times.*
They are very abundant throughout the Eastern and Northern United
States and the Rocky Mountain region.
The average specific gravity of granite is 2.66, which is equal to a weight
of 1664 pounds per cubic foot, or practically 2 tons per cubic yard. Ac-
cording to Professor Anstedt granites ordinarily contain about 0.8 per
cent. of water, and are capable of absorbing some 0.2 per cent. more.
In other words, a cubic yard would in its ordinary state contain 3.5 gal-
lons of water. The crushing strength of granite is quite variable, but
usually lies between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds per square inch, as will
be seen by veference to the tables. The average chemical composition
is as follows:

(2) VARIETIES OF GRANITE.
In classifying granites the varietal distinetion is based upon the pre-
railing accessory minerals. The more common varieties are muscovite
granite, biotite granite, muscovite-biotite granite, hornblende granite
and hornblende-biotite granite; more rarely occur augite, epidote,
tourmaline, cordierite, and chlorite granites. The variety without any
accessory minerals is sometimes called granitell. Protogine is the name
given to granites like those of Mount Blane, which have tale or chlorite
as the characterizing accessory. Pegmatite or graphie granite is a vein
rock containing scarcely any mica, but consisting almost altogether of
quartz and orthoclase. It owes its peculiar structure to the erystalliza-
tion of these two ingredients in long parallel and imperfect prisms so
that a cross-section shows peculiar triangular and polygonal figures
comparable to the letters of the ancient Greek or Pheenician alphabets.
By far the larger proportion of the granites at present quarried in
the United States have mica, either muscovite or biotite, as the charac-
terizing accessory, and hence can be spoken of as mica granites. The
amount of mica present is of considerable economic importance. It
does not polish as easily as do quartz and feldspar, owing to its softness,
* Professor Whitney considers the eruptive granites of the Sierra Nevada to be
Jurassic. Zirkel divides the granites described in the reports of the 40th parallel
survey into three groups: (1) Those of Jurassic age; (2) those of Paleozoic age; and
(3) those of Archean age. The granites of the Eastern United States, on the other
hand, are considered by geologists almost without exception as Archiean,
t Hull, Building and Ornamental Stones, p. 30.
a
BUILDING AND ORNAMENTAL STONES. 409
and the presence of a large amount therefore renders the rock diffieult
to polish, and when polished it does not retain its luster so long as do
the other minerals, its surface soon becoming dull by exposure. Its
presence in large amounts is therefore deleterious to stones which are
intended for exterior polished work. The condition in which the mica
occurs is also an important factor. A large amount of it scattered in
very fine flakes throughout the mass of the rock influences its value as
a polished stone less than does the presence of large and thick crystals
scattered through the rock in smaller number. The method of the ar-
rangement of the mica is an important item; if scattered at haphazard,
and lying in all directions among the quartz and feldspar crystals, the
rock will work nearly as well in one direction as another, If itis seat-
tered through the rock in such a way that its lamin are arranged in
one definite plane, it imparts a stratified appearance to the rock, causing
it to split more readily in the direction of this lamination than across
it. When this stratified appearance becomes strongly inarked the rock
is called a gneiss. Since, then, the distinction between granite and
gneiss is simply one of structure, and as the two rocks are used to a
considerable extent for the same purposes, they will be treated of to-
gether in the following pages.
if hornblende is the characterizing accessory, the rocks are usually
without distinct lamination, as this mineral commonly exists in a gran-
ular form. Hornblende is subjeet to as wide variations of composition
as is mica, but its white and very light colored varieties do not usually
occur in our granites. Hornblende cleaves parallel to two planes, which
mmake angles of 124° with each other, and in this respect is distinguished
from black mica, which has but one cleavage. Its folia are also ine-
lastie.
Hornblende takes an easier and more durable polish than mica and its
presence is preferable on this account. Pyroxene as a characterizing
accessory in granite is more common than has ordinarily been supposed.
Indeed all rocks which contain pyroxene abundantly have usually been
confounded with hornblende granites. The distinction between these
two minerals is important from an economic stand-point, as hornblende
possesses a much better cleavage than pyroxene, while the pyroxene is
much more brittle than the hornblende, and cracks out with greater
ease while working. The cracking out of little pieces from the black
ingredient of the Quincey granites has been frequently noticed, and is
due to the circumstance that this granite is not the hornblende-granite
it has usually been supposed to be. Hornblende is very tough, but the
(uiney granite contains a peculiar variety of pyroxene which is so brit-
tle that it is difficult to produce a large surface which does not show
some little pits, due to the breaking out of a portion of the black
grains of pyroxene. Although pyroxene and hornblende may be iden-
tical incomposition, they are frequen‘ly associated together in the same
rock ; a fact which is very evident when thin sections are examined
410 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
with the microscope, though they are indistinguishable to the naked
eye. Those granites which contain hornblende also frequently contain
mica, but it is noticeable under such circumstances that the mica is
always the dark variety, and an example of a granite which contains
both hornblendeand muscoviteis unknown.* Although epidote is a very
common constituent of our granites in the form of microscopic crystals,
the cases in which it occurs as chief accessory are quite rare. So far as
observed it is always of a green color, and when present in any quan-
tity is readily noticeable on this account alone. The pink granite of
Dedham, Mass., is the most marked example of epidotic granite now
quarried, though in several other cases, as the biotite-epidote gneiss of
Lebanon, N. H., the mineral is frequently present in such quantities as
to appear in greenish blotches on a polished surface. Tourmaline gran-
ites occur only in veins, and, so far as is known to the writer, never in
sufficient abundance to warrant the opening of quarries to work them
exclusively.
In texture the granites vary from extremely fine and homogeneous
rocks to those in which the individual erystals are several inches in
length. Porphyritic structure is common, and is produced by the de-
velopment of larger crystals of orthoclase in the finer gronndmass of
quartz and feldspar. The color of granites is dependent largely upon
the abundance and kind of accessory minerals and the color of the pre-
railing feldspar. Ordinarily the muscovite granites are very light gray
in color, the biotite and hornblende granites light to dark gray, or
semetimes almost black on a polished surface, as is the case with the
hornblende-biotite granite of Saint George, Me. In the red and pink
granites the color is due to the red or pink orthoclase. which is the pre-
vailing constituent.
(3) USES OF GRANITE.
Since the earliest times granite has been used by all civilized nations
for monumental and other purposes where great strength or durability
was required. But while the enduring properties of the rocks have
caused them to be eagerly sought, their great hardness and consequent
poor working qualities have caused them to be used in works of the
more simple and massive kind, where but little carving and dressing
were necessary. In past ages the cheapness of life and labor in great
part counter-balanced these difficulties, and hence are found works of
most elaborate design executed in this refractory material ; works which
with the present high valuation set upon labor could never be executed
but with the aid of greatly-improved machinery and methods of work-
manship. ‘The ancient Egyptians, to whom human life and labor were
matters of minor importance, have left a profusion of temples, obelisks,
and pyramids, whose surfaces are often carved and polished in the finest
and most delicate manner, although constructed of material so obdurate

BUILDING AND ORNAMENTAL STONES. All
and unchangeable that in some cases even the marks of the tool remain
upon it to the present day. A specimen of red granite now in the
Museum, and formerly a portion of one of these obelisks, still shows the
original carving made upon it upwards of three thousand years ago.
There is probably no country on the globe in which so large a pro-
portion of its stone buildings are of granitic rock as the United States.
This fact is due rather to the ready accessibility of the zock in tbose
portions that were earliest settled than to any very decided preference
on the part of the builder. The United States Government has of late
shown a decided preference for granite in the construction of its public
buildings, and has often had it transported many hundreds of miles, at
a cost that never would have been undertaken by private capitalists.
One item that tends to increase the cost of our granite, and other stone
buildings as well, to a seemingly needless extent is the fact that
American tastes seem yet incapable of appreciating any but smoothly-
dressed or carved stone in a wall. This fact is, it seems to the writer,
greatly to be regretted, since, with the majority of stones, better and
more majestic effects can be produced by rock-faced and rubble- work
than in any other manner, and at a much less cest.
Probably the most elaborate granite buildings now in the United
States are the State, War, and Navy Department Buildings in Wash-
ington and the new capitol at Albany, N. Y.

day the granites most employed are brought from Scotland and the Kast-
ern United States. However this may be, it is obvious that this condi-
tion of affairs need not long continue to exist, since granites of good
quality occur in inexhaustible quantity in the near vicinity. As early
as 1505 a granite quarry was opened in Sacramento County, and since
then others have been opened and systematically worked in Penryn
and Rocklin in Placer County. The Penryn works are some 28 miles
‘ast from Sacramento on the line of the Central Pacifie Railroad.
The first quarries were opened in 1864 and are now said to cover
some 680 acres at Penryn and Rocklin,t the latter point being some
6 or 8 miles distant from the former in a westerly direction.
The rock varies in color from light to dark gray, one variety, which
contains both hornblende and biotite, being almost black on a polished
surface. They are as a rule fine grained, and take a good polish.
Blocks more than 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 10 feet thick have
been quarried out and afterwards broken up.t
The buildings mentioned below have been constructed wholly or in

part of these granites: United States Mint, new City Hall, new Stock
Hixehange, the Real Estate Associates’ building, and several private
residences, and many monuments; all in San Irancisco.
A fine-grained very light-gray granite of excellent appearance is
found on the line of the California Southern Railroad between Los
Angeles and Cucamonga, and is beginning to be used in Los Angeles.
In texture it is as fine as the finest Westerly, R. I., or Manchester, Va.,
stone, and of a uniform light gray color. A coarser stone, carrying
abundant hornblende and black mica, is found also at Sawpit Cation,
in the same county. It works readily, but contains too much horn-
blende, and also too many small crystals of sphene, to be of value
for fine monumental work.
Colorado.—Granites are at present but little worked in Colorado, al-
though the State contains great quantities of this material. A coarse
red granite has been quarried to some extent from bowlders at Platte
Caton, Jefferson County, but the rock is poor in color and possesses but
little tenacity. Tine gray granite of good quality occurs at Georgetown
and Lawson, in Clear Creek County, and there are inexhaustible quan-.
tities of equally good material all through the mountains, but which
are not quarried owing to the cost of transportation. A full series of
them is in the Museum collection.
Connecticut.—* Tixtensive quarries of granite and gneiss are located
at various points in this State, especially near Thomaston and Roxbury,
in Litchfield County, on Long Island Sound, Fairfield County, near
Ansonia, Bradford, and Stony Creek, New Haven County, Haddam,
Middlesex County, and near Lyme, Mantic, Groton, and Mason’s Island,
New London County. The Connecticut granites and gneisses are usu-
ally fine-grained and light gray in color, and the appearance is usually
so characteristic-as to distinguished them from other granites of the
Atlantic States.”*
The most of these stones are, however, quarried only for local use,
and but few find their way into markets outside of the State. A beauti-
ful light gray muscovite-biotite granite is quarried at Thomaston and
Reynolds Bridge, which for evenness of grain and clearness of color
can not be excelled. The stone from Roxbury is a trifle darker, but
though of fine and even grain and acquiring a good polish, is used only
for curbings, foundations, and pavings. The Ansonia rock is a very
fine-grained muscovite-biotite gneiss, and has been used for general
building purposes in New Haven and Bridgeport. The Leetes Island
and Stoney Creek rocks are of a pink color, the first mentioned being
sometimes very coarsely porphyritic. A turned column of the Leetes
Island rock in the Museum shows large pink orthoelase crystals 2 inches
or more in length embedded in the finer gray groundmass of the rock.
A beautiful and very coarsely crystalline red granite occurs near Lyme,
‘but for some unexplained reason the stone is not in the market. It has

peen used to some extent in Newport, RK. L., and some of the material
may be seen in the Chaney Memorial Church at this place. Contrary to
the general rule in red granites, the feldspars of this rock are not opacue,
but quite clear and transparent, and in point of beauty the rock far
excels the celebrated Scotch granites from Peterhead. The Haddam,
Greenwich, and Bridgeport gneisses are all hornblendic, very dark
gray, and split readily in the direction of their lamination; their uses
are strictly local.
Delaware.—This State produces scarcely anything in the way of gran-
ite rocks. A few quarries of a dark gray gneiss are worked near Wil-
mington, and are used for general building purposes in this city. One
chureh and several private dwellings have been. constructed of this
stone, which belongs to the class known as augite- hornblende gueiss,
since it contains both of these minerals in about equal proportions.
Georgia.—Although this State is known to contain inexhaustible
quantities of building stones of the finest quality, but little systematic
quarrying is done, and none of the rocks have more than a local repu-
tation. A fine grade of muscovite granite, light gray in color, occurs at
Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, and also a dark gray hornblendic gneiss.
A hornblendic granite resembling that of Quincey, Mass., is said to
occur in Oglethorpe County, though the author has never seen any of
the material.
Maine.—The large extent of coast-line of the State of Maine, composed
of granitic rocks of a kind suitable for building purposes, renders possi-
ble the shipment and transportation of the quarried rock at rates much
lower than would otherwise be attainable, the quarries being frequently
situated so near the water’s edge that little, if any, handling is neces-
sary prior to loading upon the vessel. This favorble circumstance, to-
gether with the excellent quality of the rock obtainable, led to the early
opening of very numerous quarries both on the mainland and the
adjacent islands, and hence at the present time are found Maine granites
in very general use in nearly every city of importance in the country,
even as far west as California, frequently to the almost entire exclusion
of perhaps equally good material close at hand.
According to the returns furnished by the special agents in theemploy
of the building-stone department of the Tenth Census, there were during
the census year some eighty-three quarries of various kinds of building
stone in the State, situated chiefly either immediately on the coast or
within easy reach of tide-water.
Of these eighty-three quarries seventy-four were of granite or gneiss.
The different varieties of these stones produced may be classed under
the following heads: Biotite granite, biotite-muscovite granite, horn-
blende granite, hornblende-biotite granite, biotite gneiss, and biotite-
muscovite gneiss. .
BIOTITE GRANITE.—The great majority of the Maine granites are of
thiskind, They vary usually from light to dark gray in color, though
414 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
pinkish and red varieties are quarried in a few instances. At Red
Beach, near Calais, and at Jonesborough there is quarried a pink or
reddish rock, very compact and hard, which from a simple examination
with the unaided eye is seen to be composed of pink or cream-colored
feldspars, smoky quartz, and afew small shreds of mica. An examina-
tion of a thin section with the microscope does not greatly increase the
number of constituent minerals. The mica, which is usually of a green-
ish color, is very evenly disseminated throughout the rock and in very
small shreds, bearing numerous inclosures of magnetite. A few small
apatite crystals are as usual present, but are visible only with a micro-
scope.
The evenness of the grain of these rocks, and the occurrence of the
mica only in small amount and in minute flakes are matters of great
practical importance, since they allow the production of a more perfect
surface and lasting polish than would otherwise be possible. The text-
ure of the rock is much finer than the red Scotch granite, and the color
amore delicate pink. They are, in fact, the most beautiful of any of
our pink or red granites now in the market, and are used very exten-
sively for monuments, ornamental work, and general building purposes,
The largest blocks ever taken out from these quarries was 7 by 7 feet
and 2 feet thick. It is said, however, that blocks 30 by 15 by 24 feet
could be obtained if desired. The principal markets of the stone are
Boston, Providence, New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Buffalo,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus, Ohio, Springfield and Chicago,
Ill., Milwaukee, Saint Louis, Charleston, 8. C., Washington, D. C.,
and San Francisco, Cal.
At West Sullivan, in Hancock County, a light gray, sometimes slightly
pinkish, granite of medium texture is extensively quarried for paving
blocks and general building purposes. The stone corresponds closely
with that quarried in the town of Franklin.

F¥.—THE PORPHYRIES, PORPHYRITIC FELSITEH.
(1) COMPOSITION AND ORIGIN.
Popularly any fine-grained, compact rock, carrying larger crystals
seattered throughout its mass is called a porphyry, whatever may be
its composition. In the present work the term has: been restricted to
those acid eruptive rocks of pre-Tertiary origin, consisting of a very com-
pact felsitic base formed of an intimate mixture of quartz and feldspar
and in which one or both of these minerals are porphyritically developed.
The groundmass is usually too fine to allow a determination of its compo-
sition by the unaided eye, and under the microscope is found to possess
that peculiar felt-like structure called by lithologists microfelsitic. The
porphyritice crystals are usually of a different color from the groundmass
in which they are imbedded, and hence produce the striking effect which
has made these rocks so famous in all ages and caused them to be used
in the finest ornamentations in spite of their hardness.
(2) VARIETIES OF PORPHYRY.
Accordingly as the porphyries vary in mineral composition they are
divided into two principal varieties: (1) Quartz porphyry, which con-
sists of the fine-grained groundmass in which quartz alone or quartz and
orthoclase are porphyritically developed, and (2) quartz-free or ortho-
clase porphyry, in which ortboclase alone prevails, no quartz appear-
ing either porphyritically or in the groundmass. ‘This last variety, it
will be seen, bears the same relation to the quartz porphyries as does
syenite to the granites. Through an entire disappearance of the por-
phyritic erystals, the rock passes into felsite. The porphyries bear the
same accessory minerals (hornblende, mica, etc.), as do the granites, but
these are usually in such small particles as to be invisible to the naked
eye.
Porphyries, like granites, are of a variety of colors; red, purple, gray,
green, brown, and black of a variety of shades are not uncommon, and
when, as is so often the case, the porphyritic minerals contrast in color
ina marked degree with the groundmass, the effect on a polished sur-
face is very beautiful.
(5) USE OF PORPHYRY.
The porphyries are as a rule intensely hard and tough and completely
without rift in any direction. Asa consequence they are scarcely at all
used in this country, although among the most beautiful and indestructi-
ble of ourrocks. ‘The celebrated porphyries of Elfdalen, Sweden, are
wrought into a variety of objects of art, and with exceedingly beautiful
effects. Visitors at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia will re-
cali the beautiful large column and inlaid table of this stone that was
there displayed,
428 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
(4) PORPHYRIES OF THE VARIOUS STATES AND TERRITORIES.
Inexhaustible quantities of porphyries of a variety of colors and great
beauty occur at Saugus, Malden, Lynn, and Marblehead, and other lo-
calities in eastern Massachusetts, but which have never been utilized
to any extent owing to the cost of working. Many of these are of ex-
ceptional beauty, presenting colors red as jasper, through all shades of
pink, gray, and even black, often beautifully variegated and brecciated
in a variety of colors. Flow structures caused by the onward flowing
of the rock while in a partially cooled condition often gives rise to a
beautiful banding and interweaving of colors impossible to describe, and
which must be seen to be appreciated. The striking beauty of this flow
structure is sometimes heightened by the presence of angular fragments
of variously colored portions of the rock, which, becoming broken from
the parent mass, have been imbedded in a matrix of quite different
color, as at Hingham, where we have found bright red fragments im-
bedded in a yellowish paste. The rock acquires a beautiful polish, and
the fact that it has not ere this come into more general use is a sad
comment upon the taste of our wealthier citizens. Nearly as inde-
structible as glass, and as beautiful as an agate, and yet almost wholly
ignored except for purposes of rough construction.
A large variety of porphyries, varying in color from biack to red, oc-
curs also in New Hampshire, particularly near Waterville, some of
which would make fine ornamental stones. At Franconia, in the White
Mountains, there occurs a porphyry conglomerate formed of fragments
of jasper red porphyry closely cemented into a compact rock, which is
particularly beautiful. Slabs of this stone in the National Museum can
not be excelled for richness of color.
Porphyries are abundant in many other States, but are scarcely at all
used. Maine, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Minnesota, and Wisconsin all
contain good material, though, as little or no search has beer made for
the highly ornamental varieties, it is impossible to say what they can
produce.
At Green Lake, in the last named State, there occurs a beautiful
stone of this class, almost black in color, with white porphyritic feld-
spars. It has been quarried to some extent near the town ef Uttny,
and polished columns of it may be seen in the German-American Bank
building and Union Depot at Saint Paul, Minn. It is greatly to be re-
gretted that no economic method of working so beautiful and durable
a material has as yet been discovered.
Near Charlotte, in Mecklenburgh County, N. C., there occurs a very
light colored, almost white, quartz porphyry, which is penetrated by
long parallel streaks or pencils of a dead black color. These are so ar-
ranged that, when cut across, the surface appears studded thickly with
roundish and very irregular black points of all sizes up to half an inch.
Cut parallel with the direction of the pencils, the surface is streaked
BUILDING AND ORNAMENTAL STONES. 429
with black lines, which sometimes assume the most beautiful fern-like or
dendritic forms imaginable.
The rock is intensely hard, tough, and without definite rift. It can
therefore be worked only at great cost, and is not regularly quarried.
It has been used only locally for rough purposes, as for curbing, steps,
and sills. An analysis of this rock is given in the tables.
G. THE LIPARITES.
(1) ADAPTABILITY FOR CONSTRUCTIVE PURPOSES.
Tertiary and post-Tertiary rocks of any kind are at present very little
used for constructive purposes in the United States, owing, in the case
of fragmental rocks, to their state of imperfect consolidation and conse-
quent feeble tenacity, and in the case of eruptives to their almost entire
absence in those portions of the country that have become permanently
settled and where as a consequence there has arisen a demand for a more
durable building material than wood. Of the eruptive rocks of this
class only the liparites, andesites, and basalts have been at all utilized
and these to but a small extent. Their textures are, as a rule, such as
to fit them only for the rougher kinds of construction, since, with the
exception of the glassy varieties, they will not polish, and their rough
appearance unfits them for any kind of interior decorative work.
(2) MINERAL AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF LIPARITE.
Under the head of liparites are classed those acid eruptive rocks con-
sisting chiefly of quartz and sanidin (the glassy variety of orthoclase)
which are not older than Tertiary and which may. be regarded as the
younger equivalents of the granites, quartz porphyries, and felsite
pitchstones.
In texture they vary from coarsely granitoid rocks, entirely crystal-
line throughout, through all intermediate felsitic stages to clear glassy
forms. Structurally they vary from fine, compact, even-grained to
coarsely porphyritic, amygdaloidal, and sperulitie forms; well marked
fluidal structure is common. The prevailing colors are chalky white
to dark gray; more rarely greenish, brownish, yellowish, and reddish
varieties occur.
The average chemical composition of lipavite (quartz-trachyte) as
given by Zirkel is silica, 76.36; alumina, 11.97; iron oxides, 2.01; lime,
1.09; magnesia, 0.56; potash, 3.70; soda, 4.53; specific gravity, 2.55.
(3) VARIETIES OF LIPARITES.
According as they are erystalline throughout, felsitic and porphyritic
or entirely glassy, liparites are classified as (1) granitic liparites or neva-
dites, (2) rhyolites, and (3) glassy liparites as obsidian, pumice, pearlite,
and pitchstone. Ofthese only the felsitic and porphyritic variety rhyolite
is now quarried,
430 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
(4) LIPARITES OF THE VARIOUS STATES AND TERRITORIES.
Near Mokelumne Hill, in Calaveras County, Cal., rhyolite occurs in
several different colors, and has been quarried to some extent for use in
the immediate vicinity. It is also abundant in Colorado, New Mexico,
Nevada, Utah, and other of the Western States and Territories.
The glassy variety of rhyolite called obsidian is very abundant in cer-
tain parts of the West, and though as yet no attempt has been made to
utilize the material there would seem no good reason for its not being
used in small pieces for the finer kinds of decorative work. The rock,
which is a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling of a molten mass, is
of various colors, black, red, and greenish, and often beautifully spotted
and streaked. From the Yellowstone National Park, Glass Butte, Or-
egon, and other sources, the Museum has received specimens of red
obsidian spotted and streaked with black wavy lines in a way that is
highly ornamental. The stone occurs naturally in a badly jointed con-
dition and could be obtained only in pieces of small size. Owing to its
glassy fracture also it could be worked only with plain flat surfaces,
but as it takes a high glass-like polish, it would be very desirable for
tops of small stands, paper-weights, and inlaid work.
H.—THE SYENITES, TRACHYTES, AND PHONOLITES.
(1) DEFINITION OF SYENITE.
Under the name of Syenites are here included those rocks consisting
essentially of orthoclase with or without one or more of the accessory
minerals, mica, hornblende, or augite. They differ from granites only
in the absence of quartz, and otherwise present a precisely parallel
series. Thus we may have mica syenite (minette), hornblende syenite,
augite syenite, etc.*
(2) LOCALITIES OF SYENITE.
At the present time syenites are but little quarried in this country,
though there would seem to be no lack of material and of good quality.
In and about Portland, Me., there occer in the glacial drift many
bowlders of a beautiful syenite, the exact source of which is not known
to the author, but which ean not be far to the northward. The rock
consists mainly of bright lustrous gray orthoclase and coal-black horn-
blende, with occasionally a little black mica. In texture it is not too
* Formerly it was customary to call by the name syenite a rock consisting of quartz
hornblende, and orthoclase, or what is now called a hornblende granite. The name
takes its origin from Syene, Egypt, where a rock supposed to answer this description
was originally quarried. Investigation has, however, shown that the Syene rock con-
tains more mica than hornblende, and hence at best can not be classed as a true sye-
nite even according to the old definition. According to recent lithologists the Syene
rock is a hornblende mica granite, while true syenite, as above stated, is a quartzless
rock,
BUILDING AND ORNAMENTAL STONES. 431
coarse, and the contrast of colors such that one can scarcely imagine
a more beautiful stone for rock-faced work. It is very tough, and, to
judge from the bowlders, is also very durable, and not at all liable to
discoloration on exposure.
Hawes* describes augite syenites as occurring in Jackson, Columbia,
and on Little Ascuntney Mountain, in New Hampshire; also annie s
syenites as occurring at Red Hill and Moultonborough, Columbia, Sand-
wich, Stark, and Albany, in the same State. Dr. Wadsworth? also
mentions a syenite as occurring in eastern Massachusetts, where it oc-
cupies a large proportion of the coast line between Salem and Man-
chester. None of these are as yet quarried.
Near Hot Springs, in Arkansas, there is quarried under the name of
granite a tough gray rock of variable texture, consisting mainly of horn-
blende and elzeolite, and which would therefore be classed as an elolite
syenite. Some portions of the rock, as shown by the large block in the
Museum collection, are fine-grained and homogeneous, while in others
the elieolite crystals reach some 2 or 3 inches in length. The appear-
ance of the stone is excellent, but portions of it contain a large amount
of pyrite and it needs to be selected with care if designed for exterior
or highly ornamental work.
A syenitie rock bearing abundant el:eolite and frequently cancrinite
and sodalite, and which must, therefore, also be classed as an elieolite sye-
nite occurs abundantly in the vicinity of Litchfield, Me., and specimens
of the rock have found their way into the building-stone collections of
the Museum. An examination of the rock does not, however, impress
one particularly in its favor. Its durability is, to say fhe least, doubtful,
and its varying texture and colors rather against it.
(38) THE TRACHYTES AND PHONOLITES.
Under the name of trachytes are comprehended by Rosenbusch those
massive Tertiary and post Tertiary rocks consisting essentially of san-
idin and hornblende, augite or black mica, and which may be regarded
as the younger equivalents of the syenites and quartz free porphyries.
The average chemical composition is siliea, 63.55; alumina, 18.0; iron
oxide, 6.15; lime, 1.96; magnesia, 0.88; specific gravity, 2.65.
In sete aNs trachytes are rarely granular but usually possess a fine
scaly or micro-felsitic groundmass, rendered porphyritie by the devel-
opment of scattering erystals of sanidin, hornblende, augite, or black
mica. The texture is porous and possesses a characteristic roughness
to the touch; hence its name from the Greek word zpayv- rough. ‘The
prevailing eolons are gray, yellowish or reddish.
Trachytes are voleanie rocks occurring in eruptive masses in dikes
and in lav: Ps flows. They may be divided into hornblende, biotite, or

augite trachytes, according as either of these accessory minerals pre-
dominates.
Phonolites differ from trachytes in carrying one or both of the min-
erals nepheline or leucite in addition to the other constituents named.
They bear the same relations then to the trachytes as do the elolite
syenites to the syenites proper.
. Neither trachytes nor phonolites are, so far as now known, common
rocks in the United States. Zirkel* describes numerous trachytes
from the areas covered by the Fortieth Parallel survey, and Caswellt de-
scribes both trachytes and phonolites from the Black Hills, Dakota.
fecent investigations by Wadsworth ¢ and Messrs. Hague and Iddings §
show, however, that the supposed trachytes of Zirkel were in large part
if not altogether andesites, and it is very probable that similar tests
applied to many other cases heretofore described would be productive
of similar results. However this may be, the utility of the rocks in
America is purely prospective.
Their colors and textures are such that they can never be used for
other purposes than rough construction, as is the case with the majority
of the younger eruptives.
I—AUGITE (ENSTATITE, HYPERSTHENE) PLAGIOCLASE
ROCKS.
(1) DIABASE.
(Diabase, from the Greek word dcafvcts, to pass over; so called be-
cause the rock passes by imperceptible gradations into diorite.)
The diabases are entirely crystalline granular rocks, composed essen-
tially of plagioclase feldspar and augite, with nearly always magnetite
and frequently olivine. Geologically they are pre-Tertiary eruptive
rocks, basic in composition, occurring in dikes, intruded sheets, and
lava flows. Their mode of occurrence is quite similar to that of basalt,
from which they differ chiefly in date of eruption and the amount of
alteration they have undergone. In structure they are as a rule mas-
sive, but schistose varieties occur and more rarely spherulitic forms.
The texture is as a rule fine, compact, and homogeneous, though some-
times porphyritic or amygdaloidal. The colors are somber, varying
from greenish through dark gray to nearly black, or sometimes black
when freshly quarried, but becoming greenish on drying.

|| Mr. J. P. Iddings suggests that the change in color from dark, blue black, and
greenish, as noticed in diabase of New Jersey, is due to the drying of the serpentine or
chlorite, which results from the alteration of the included olivine. (Am, Jour. Sci.,
May, 1886, p. 330.)

According to Zirkel, the average chemical composition of diabase is
as follows :

Average specific gravity, 2.8, equal to a weight of 175 pounds per
cubic foot.
In classification two principal varieties of diabase are recognized, the
distinetion being founded upon the presence or absence of the mineral
olivine. We thus have (1) olivine diabase, or diabase with olivine, and
(2) diabase proper, or diabase without olivine.
Owing to its lack of definite rift, compact texture, and hardness, dia-
base can, as a rule, be worked only with difficulty and usually at a cost
considerably greater than that of granite. It is therefore not exten-
sively quarried, though of late years it has come into more general use
for paving purposes, and still more recently for building and monu-
mental work. The green antique porphyry or Marmor Lacedamontum
viride, formerly much used for pavements and general inlaid decorative
work in Greece and Rome, is, according to Delesse,* a diabase consisting
of large greenish crystals of labradorite embedded in a fine compact
ground mass of the same feldspar, together with augite and titaniferous
iron. The quarries from which the stone was taken are stated by Hull}
to be situated between Sparta and Marathon, in Greece. A stone of a
similar character and closely resembling it in color and structure is
abundant among the drift bowlders of eastern Massachusetts, but its
exact derivation is unknown.
In the eastern United States the dikes of diabase are frequently as-
sociated with deposits of red or brown Triassic sandstone, which are also
extensively quarried, as will be noticed further on. Concerning these
dikes Professor Dana writes: ¢
“Tt is remarkable that these fractures (through which the diabase
was forced to the surface) should ‘have taken place in great numbers
just where the Triassic beds exist, and only sparingly east or west of
them ; and also that the igneous rock should be essentially the same
throughout the thousands of miles from Nova Scotia to North Carolina.
The igneous and aqueous rocks (sandstone) are so associated that they
necessarily come into the same history. Mount Tom and Mount Hol-
yoke, of Massachusetts, are examples of these trap ridges; also Wast
Rock and West Rock, near New Haven, and the Hanging Hills, near

Meriden, in Connecticut; the Palisades along the Hudson River, in New
York; Bergen Hill and other elevations in New Jersey.
‘In Nova Scotia trap ridges skirt the whole red-sandstone region and
face directly the Bay of Fundy; Cape Blomidon, noted for its zeolitic
minerals, lies at its northern extremity on the Bay of Mines.
“In Connecticut the ridges and dikes are extremely numerous, show-
ing avast amount of igneous action. * * * They commence near
Long Island Sound, at New Haven, where they form some bold emi-
nences, and extend through the State and nearly to the northern bound-
ary of Massachusetts. Mounts Holyoke and ‘Tom are in the system.
The general course is parallel to that of the Green Mountains.
‘Although the greater part of the dikes is confined to the sandstone
regions, there are a few outside, intersecting the crystalline rocks and
following the same direction, and part, at least, of the same system.
‘¢ ven the little Southbury Triassic region, lying isolated in western
Connecticut, has a large number of trap ridges, and such a group of
them as occurs nowhere else in New England outside of the Triassic.
Their direction and positions in overlapping series are the same as in
the Connecticut valley.
“The trap usually forms hills with a bold columnar or front and slop-
ing back. When nearly north and south in direction the bold front is to
the westward in the Connecticut Valley, and to the eastward in New
Jersey. It has come up through fissures in the sandstone, which varied
from a few inches to 300 feet or more in breadth. In many cases it has
made its way out by opening the layers of sandstone, and in such cases
it stands with a bold front, facing in the direction toward whieh it thus
ascended.”
Connecticut.—The extensive diabase outcrops noted above as occurring
at Kast and West Rocks, north of New Haven in this State, are quarried
for foundation walls and for paving purposes in the near vicinity. The
rock is too dull in color for ornamental work.
Maine.—Diabase is quarried at three localities in this State, Addison,
Vinalhaven, and Tenant’s Harbor. At Addison the rock occurs in ex-
tensive outcrops close by the water’s edge. Single blocks 66 by 10 by
20 feet have been moved in the quarries, and natural blocks 90 by 10 by
15 feet occur. The chief defects in the stone are said to be the so-called
“knots,” which consist of irregular patches of coarse feldspar and dark
crystals of hornblende. There are alse occasional seams, causing the
rock to split unfavorably. The rock is moderately fine-grained, very
dark gray, sometimes almost black or spotted black and white on a
polished surface and of a fine appearance. It has been used in the walls
inclosing the Capitol grounds at Washington, in the construction of a
bank at Montreal, and is quite generally used for monuments in Boston,
New York, Brooklyn, Washington, Montreal, and Quebec. The Vinal
haven diabase is less extensively worked en account of its hardness

nearly black, in color. It is used to some extent for building material
and also in cemetery work. The Tenant’s Harbor (Saint George, Knox
County) stone closely resembles that of Addison, and is used for sim-
ilar purposes. These are all most excellent stones, and it is a matter
for congratulation that they are being so extensively introduced, and,
to some extent, replacing the marbles in monumental work. The cost
of working is, owing to their compact structure, somewhat greater than
that of granite, but the results fully justify the increased outlay. All
the above, it should be noted, are known commercially as “ black gran-
ite.” =
Massachusetts.—Diabase is quarried for foundation walls, general con-
structive purposes, and monumental work at Medford and Somerville
in this State. Samples received from these localities are, however,
coarser, lighter in color, and much inferior in point of beauty to those
just described.
New Jersey.—The extensive outcrops of diabase, or “ trap-rock,”
known as the Palisades of the Hudson River in northeastern New Jersey
furnish an inexhaustible supply of this material, and which is at present
quite extensively quarried about Guttenberg, Weehawken, West New
York, and southward along the Palisades as far as Montgomery ave-
nue in Jersey City.t The rock is used chiefly for paving, and the quar-
ries are small affairs worked by gangs of from two to five men. Two
sizes of blocks are prepared. The larger, which are known as specifica-
tion blocks, are 4 by 8 or 10 inches on the head and 7 to 8 inches deep.
The second size, which are called square blocks, are 5 to 6 inches square
and 6 or 7 inches deep. The specification blocks bring about $30 per
thousand in the market, and the square only about $20 per thousand.
It is estimated that some 4,000,000 of the specification and 1,000,000 of
the square blocks were quarried in 1887, valued at $140,000.
There are three principal grades of the rock quarried. A fine-grained
variety at Mount Pleasant, a rocky hill north of the Pennsylvania
Railroad ; a light-gray variety at Bergen Cut, south of the railroad ;
*Tt should be remarked that all of these diabases differ radically in structure and
composition from any others here mentioned, and deserve a more thorough and
careful study than they have yet received. All contain a rhombic pyroxene pleo-
chroic in red, green, and brown colors, and which is evidently hypersthene, while
certain sections of the Addison rock show a pyroxenie constituent carrying an abun-
dance of the rhombic inclosures so characteristic of entstatite. Both the Addison
and Vinalhaven rocks were in the collection and marked as diabase on my assuming
charge, and as such I considered them in my paper on the Maine building stones
(Proc. Nat. Mus., Vol. v1, 1883). The Tenant’s Harbor rock is presumably the one
described as olivine diabase by Wadsworth and Dickerson (Proc. Bos. Soe. Nat. Hist.,
Mar., 1884, p. 28).
+The Hudson River Palisade rock is called greenstone by Mahan (Civil Engineer-
ing, p. 3), who states that if is composed of hornblende and common and compact
feldspar. This is obviously an error. The rock contains neither hornblende nor
common” (orthoclase) feldspar, but is wholly composed of augite and plagioclase
feldspar with a few minute accessories, as magnetite and apatite,
456 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
and a dark, almost black, variety at Weehawken and West New York.
Other quarries of this rock are worked at Orange Mountain, Snake
Hill, Hudson County, and at Morris Hillin Paterson. In the western
part of the State the outcrops are not so extensive, but quarries are
worked at Rocky Hill, near Titusville, Smith’s Hill, and near Lambert-
ville. At Roek Church, 4 miles from Lambertville, the rock is quar-
ried and used for monumental work as well as for general building pur.
poses, being put upon the market under the name of black granite. The
rock from the Palisade quarries has also been quite extensively used
in and about Jersey City for building purposes. St. Patrick’s Cathe-
dral, and the Hudson County Court House, as well as many private
buildings, are of this stone, but the effect as a whole is not pleasing, ow-
ing to the somber colors of the material. Employed in connection with
brick or lighter stone, to give variety and contrast, the effect is admir-
able.
The finely broken stone is also used very extensively for railroad
ballast and road-making. Several of the quarries near Orange Mount-
ain have machines for breaking up the stone for this purpose.*
Pennsylwania.—The principal quarries of diabase in this State are at
Collins Station, Lancaster County, and near York Haven, York County.
At the latter place the face of the quarry is about 70 feet in height.
The rock lies in huge natural blocks sometimes weighing hundreds of
tons and having curved outlines giving them a sort of oval shape.
Stone from this quarry is used only by the Northern Central Railroad
in the construction of bridges, culverts, ete.
At Collins Station diabase is more extensively quarried than at any
other locality in the State. The stone is used for all manner of build-
ing purposes and monumental work. The foundation of the new Har-
risburg post-office and the soldiers’ monument in this city are from
this material.
In the vicinity of Gettysburgh diabase has been quite extensively
quarried from bowlders, and has been used for head-stones in the na-
tional cemetery at this place.
Virginia.—As in the States to the east and north, the Triassic beds
of Virginia are cut by large dikes of “ trap” or diabase, and which in
some cases are capable of affording excellent material for paving blocks
and general building and ornamental work. So far as the author is
aware quarries have been opened upon these dikes in but two localities,
at Cedar Run, near Catlett’s Station on the Virginia Midland Railroad,
and near Goose Creek, about 3 miles east of Leesburgh, in Loudoun
County. Specimens of these rocks which we have examined represent
the coarser varieties of our Mesozoie diabase, are of a dark gray color,
very strong, and apparently durable. That from Goose Creek has been
found to stand a pressure of 23,000 pounds per square inch, and, as the
author has observed, undergoes no change on an exposure of twenty-

five years other than a slight and in no way objectionable darkening of
color. Neither stone has been used as yet for other than paving pur-
poses and bridge abutments, though they are apparently well adapted
to all kinds of work for which their color and hardness qualify them.
(2) GABBRO.
The rock gabbro differs from diabase mainly in containing the foliated
pyroxene diallage in place of augite. It is not at present quarried to
any extent in this country, though for no apparent reason other than
that it is difficult to work.
Very extensive outcrops of a dark gray, almost black gabbro of
medium fineness of texture occur in the immediate vicinity of Balti-
more, Md., but which have been quarried only for purposes of rough
construction close at hand. The rock is popularly known as “nigger-
head” owing to its hardness, dark color, and its occurrence in rounded
bowlders on the surface.*
At Rice’s Point, near Duluth, Minn., there occurs an inexhaustible
supply of a coarse gabbro, which has been studied and described by
Professor Winchell.t The feldspar of the rock, which is labradorite,
according to the authority quoted, sometimes prevails as at Beaver Bay,
in crystals one-half to three-fourths of an inch across, and to the almost
entire exclusion of other constituents. In this form the rock varies from
lavender blue or bluish gray to light green, and acquires a beautiful
surface and polish, and is considered as constituting a valuable material
for ornamental slabs and columns. The typical gabbro of fhe region is
of a dark blue-gray color, and “has been employed in a few buildings
at Duluth, both in cut trimmings and for rough waks.” It has also
been used for monuments and for bases, to which it is especially adapted,
being cut under the chisel and polished more easily than any of the
crystalline rocks that contain quartz. The stone is known popularly
as ‘Duluth granite.” The same kind of rock occurs at Taylor’s Falls,
but is little used, though favorably situated for quarrying and trans-
porting.
A rock closely allied to the gabbros and diabases is the so-called
norite, which consists essentially of the minerals hypersthene and a
plagioclase feldspar. The only rocks of this pature now regularly
quarried are at Keeseville, N. Y., and Vergennes, Vt. The first is
known commercially as “Au Sable granite,” and the second as “ Labra-
dorite granite.” Both are coarse-grained, dark-gray rocks, much resem-
bling the darker varieties of the Quincy granites, from which, however,
they differ radically in mineral composition. They take a high lustrous
polish, frequently show a beautiful bright bluish iridescence, and are
* This is the rock the interesting petrographical features of which have lately been
made known by Dr. Williams, of Johns Hopkins University. See Bull. U. 8. Geol.
Survey, No. 28.

438 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
admirably adapted for polished columns, pilasters, and other decorative
work. The lasting power of the norites, when polished, is yet to be
ascertained. After an exposure of untold years in the quarry bed the
surface has turned white. No data are obtainable for calculating their
lasting qualities in the finished structure.
(3) MELAPHYR.
The melaphyrs, as defined by Rosenbusch,* are massive eruptive
rocks, consisting of plagioclase, augite, and olivine, with free iron oxides
and an amorphous or ‘‘porphyry” base. They are thus of the same
mineral composition as the basalts and olivine diabases, but differ struct-
urally, and belong in great part to the Carboniferous and older Permian
formations. Although very abundantin many parts of the United States,
they are scarcely at all Nee owing to their dull colors and poor
working qualities.
In the Brighton district of Boston, but a few miles out of the city
proper, and in other localities in the vicinity, there occur small outcrops
of a greenish er sometimes purplish melaphyr, or ‘ amygdaloid,” the
lithological nature of which was, I believe, first correctly stated by
K. R. Benton.t The prevailing color of the rock is greenish, often
amygdaloidal, the amygdules being composed often of epidote, thus
spotting the surface with greenish-yellow blotches. The rock is greatly
altered, only the feldspars of the original constituents remaining now
recognizable, while chlorite. quartz, calcite, epidote, and several other
minerals occur as secondary products. The rock is nevertheless very
firm, compact, and durable, and is being quarried to some extent for
rough work. It would seem fitted for a yet wider architectural appli-
cation.
(4) BASALT.
This rock differs from diabase only in point of geological age, be-
ing a product of post-Tertiary eruptions. Itis, as a rule, less perfectly
crystalline, still retaining portions of its glassy magma, and the surfaces
of the flows are often less compact owing to their having been exposed
to atmospheric agencies for a shorter period, and consequently having
suffered less erosion. Owing in great part to the fact that basalts occur
in this country only in the western and more recently settled portions,
as do also the andesites and rhyolites, they have been heretofore but
little utilized. There would seem, however, no reason for excluding the
rock from the list of available building materials in those regions where
it occurs in such form as to be accessible. At Petaluma, Bridgeport, and
other places around the bay of San Francisco there lie immense sheets
of this rock, but which are worked now only for paving materials.
Like the andesites and rhyolites the basalts will not polish, and their
colors are such as to exclude them from all forms of interior decorative
work.

(1) DIORITES.
Diorite from the Greek word dcopesztv, to distinguish.
Diorites are entirely crystalline granular rocks composed essentially
of plagioclase and hornblende.
They are pre-Tertiary eruptive rocks occurring mostly in dikes and
intrusive sheets and basic in composition, containing only from 50 to
54 per cent. of silica. In structure they are massive. The individual
crystals composing the rock are sometimes grouped in globular aggre-
gations forming the so-called orbicular diorite or kugel diorite. The
texture is as a rule compact, fine, and homogeneous, though sometimes
porphyritic. The common colors are dark gray or green. According
to Zirkel the average composition is:

In classification two principal varities are recognized, mica diorite or
diorite in which black mica is present in excess of the hornblende, and
hornblende diorite or diorite proper. The presence of quartz gives rise
to the variety quartz diorite. The name tonalite has been applied by
Vom Rath to a quartz diorite containing the feldspar andesite and
very rich in black mica and which occurs in the southern Alps.
Diorites are commonly known by the names trap and greenstone, as
are also the diabases. :
These rocks are as a rule exceeding compact and strong, but are
scarcely at all used for building purposes owing to their lack of rift and
poor working qualities in general. Their somber colors are also a draw-
back to any form of architectural display. In England diorites are
stated by Hauenschild* to be largely used for road materials, while the
celebrated kugel diorite or napoleonite of Corsica has been abundantly
utilized through Italy for interior decorative work.
Porphyritic diorites, or porphyrites, may be said to bear the same re-
lation to true diorites as do the quartz porphyries to granites. That is,
they consist of a compact felsitic base in which hornblende or feldspar
is porphyritically developed. The ceiebrated red Ugyptian porphyry
or “Rosso Antico” is a porphyrite as shown by Delesse.t The source
of this rock is stated by this authority to be the Dokhan Mountains,

440 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
about 25 miles from the Red Sea and 85 miles from ancient Captos
(now called Kypt). Rocks of this class, though in no way comparable
from the standpoint of beauty, have been described by Hawes* as oc-
curring in New Hampshire at Campton Falls, North Lisbon, Dixville,
and Dixville Notch; a mica diorite is also described as occurring at
Stewartstown. None of these are put to any practical use. A dark
gray granitic appearing diorite of variable texture occurs near Read-
ing, Berks County, Pa., which may answer for rough construction. It
is not a handsome stone, and is, moreover, hard to work.
The Museum collections contain a cube of a compact light greenish
gray diorite, carrying quite an amount of greenish mica and plentifully
besprinkled with white porphyritic feldspars from near El Paso, Tex.
This cuts to a sharp edge and acquires a good surface and polish. It
appears like a good stone for ordinary purposes of construction.
A somewhat similar stone is found near Monarch, Chaffee County,
Colorado.
A quartz diorite of a coarse granitic structure is found and quarried
at Rocklin, Placer County, Cal. The stone resembles granite in gen-
eral appearance and works with equal facility.
(2) THE ANDESITES.
Under the name of andesites is included a group of voleanic rocks of
Tertiary and post-Tertiary age, and consisting essentially of a triclinic
feldspar and hornblende, augite, or black mica.
in structure the andesites are rarely entirely crystalline, but me
present a fine densely microlitic or partly glassy groundmass. ie

M.—FRAGMENTAL ROCKS.
(1) SANDSTONES, BRECCIAS, AND CONGLOMERATES.
(a) COMPOSITION AND ORIGIN.
Sandstones are composed of rounded and angular grains of sand so
cemented and compacted as to form a solid rock. The cementing ma-
terial may be either silica, carbonate of lime, an iron oxide, or clayey
matter. Upon the character of this cementing material, more perhaps
than upon the character of the grains themselves, is dependent the
color of the rock and its adaptability for architectural purposes. If
silica alone is present the rock is light colored and frequently so in-
tensely hard that it can be worked only with great difficulty. Such
are among the most durable of all rocks, but their light colors and
poor working qualities are something of a drawback to their extensive
use. The cutting of such stones often subjects the workmen to serious
inconvenience on account of the very fine and sharp dust or powder
made by the teols, and which is so light as to remain suspended for
some time in the air. The hard Potsdam sandstones of New York
State have been the subject of complaint on this score. If the cement
is composed largely of iron oxides the stone is red or brownish in color
and usually not too hard to work readily.* When the cementing ma-
terial is carbonate of lime the stone is light colored or gray, soft, and
easy to work. Asa rule such stone do not weather so well as those
with either the siliceous or ferruginous cement, owing to the ready
solubility of the lime in the water of slightly acidulated rains; the
siliceous grains become loosened and the rock disintegrates. The
clayey cement is more objectionable than any yet mentioned, since it
readily absorbs water and renders the stone more liable to injury by
frost. Many sandstones contain little if any cement, but owe their
tenacity simply to the pressure to which they were subjected at the
time of their consolidation. Such stones are generally of a grayish hue,
easy to work, and if the amount of cohesion be sufliciently great, are
very durable. The finer varieties of these stones, such as the Euclid
“bluestone” and ‘ Berea grits,” are utilized in the manufacture of grind-
stones and whet stones. Since they contain little cementing material
they do not become polished when exposed to wear, but crumble slowly
away, presenting always fresh, sharp surfaces to be acted upon. In cer-
tain of our Potsdam sandstones the siliceous cement is found to have
so arranged itself with relation to the grains of sand as to practically
convert it into a crystalline rock or quartzite. This has already been
referred to in the chapter on microscopic structure.
* Julien states that in the Tertiary sandstones of the Appalachian border the ferru-
ginous cement is largely turgite; in the Triassic and Carboniferous sandstones it is
largely limonite, and in the Potsdam sandstones of Lake Champlain and. the southern
shore of Lake Superior it is largely hematite, (Proc. A. A, A. S., Vol. xxyuu, 1879,
p. 408.)
444 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
Sandstones are not in all cases composed wholly of quartz grains,
but frequently contain a variety of minerals. The brown Triassic sand-
stones of Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are found, on
microscopic and chemical examination, to contain one or more nena of
feldspar and also mica (see Fig. 6, Plate 11), having, in fact, nearly the
same composition as a granite or gneiss, from which they were doubtless
originally derived. According to Dr. P. Schweitzer,* a fine-grained
sandstone from the so-called Palisade range in New Jersey contains from
30 to 60 per cent. of the feldspar albite. That quarried at Newark, in
the same State, contains, according to his analysis, albite, 50.46 per
cent. ; quartz, 45.49 per cent.; soluble silica, .30 per cent.; bases solu-
ble in hydrochloric acid, 2.19 per cent., and water, 1.14 per cent. Tron
pyrites is a common ingredient of many gies Unless quite
abundant the chief danger to be apprehended from the use of such
stone is the change of color it is liable to undergo on exposure through
its oxidation.
Sandstones are of a great variety of colors; light gray (almost white),
gray, buff, drab or blue, light brown, brown, pink, and red are common
varieties, and, as alrec ce stated, the color is largely due to the iron
contained by them. According to Mr. G. Mawt the red and brownish-
red colors are due to the presence of iron in the anhydrous sesquiox-
ide state, the yellow color to iron in the hydrous sesquioxide state, and
the blue and gray tints to the carbonate or the protoxide of iron. It is
also stated that the blue color is sometimes caused by finely-dissemi-
nated iron pyrites, and rarely by an iron phosphate.t (See page 306.)
Sandstones vary in texture from almost impalpably fine-grained
stones to those in which the individual grains are several inches in
diameter. These coarser varieties are called conglomerates, or, if the
grains are angular instead of rqunded, breccias. Neither of these rarie-
ties are at present quarried in this country to any great extent, though
in foreign countries calcareous breccias form some of the most beautiful
marbles.
All sandstones, when freshly quarried, are found to contain a vari-
able amount of water, which renders them soft and more easily worked,
but at the same time peculiarly liable to injury by freezing. So pro-
nounced is this character that many quarries in the northern regions
ean be worked only in the summer months, as during the cold season
the freshly quarried material would freeze, burst, and become entirely
ruined. It iscustomary also for dealers to refuse to assume any risks of
injury from freezing to which such stone may be liable after shipment.
After the evaporation of this “ quarry water,” as it is called, the stone
is found, to be considerably harder, and hence more difficult to work.
This hardening process 1s explained by Newberry and others by the
* American Chemist, July, 1871, p. 23.

theory that the quarry water holds in solution certain of the cementing
materials, as has been already noted (p. 339).
(0) Varieties OF SANDSTONES.
Many varieties of sandstones are popularly recognized, the distine-
tions being founded upon their composition, structure, the character of
the cementing material, or their working qualities. Arkose is a sand-
stone composed of disintegrated granite. Ferruginous, siliceous, and
caleareous sandstones are those in which these substances form the ce-
menting material. Avrgillaceous sandstones contain clay, which can
easily be recognized by its odor when breathed upon. Flagstone is a
sandstone that splits readily into thin sheets suitable for flagging ; the
same term is applied to other rocks, as the schists and slates, which
serve a similar purpose. /reestones are so called beeause they work
freely in any direction, their bedding or grain not being strongly enough
marked to in any way interfere with this property. Graywacke is a com-
pact sandstone composed of rounded grains or fragments of quartz,
feldspar, slate, and other minerals, cemented by an argillaceous, calea-
reous, or feldspathic paste. This term is no longer in general use.
Quartzites result from the induration of sandstones, a result brought
about either by pressure or, more commonly, by the deposition of silica
between the granules. :
Sandstones oecur among rocks of all ages, from the Archean down to
the most recent ; none are, however, at present used to any great extent
for building purposes in this country that are of later origin than Trias-
sic, or possibly Cretaceous. In the list of natural building materials
of the United States sandstone ranks third in importance ; the census
returns for 1880 showing a product of 24,776,950 cubic feet, valued at
$4,780,391.
(c) SANDSTONES OF THE VARIOUS Kae AND TERRITORIES.
Alabama.—On the line of the Alabama Great Southern Railway, some
60 or 100 miles from Chattanooga, 'Tenn., there occurs a yellow sand-
stone that is sufficiently soft when first quarried to be cut with an ax,
and which hardens sufficiently on exposure to be very durable in that
climate. Samples of this stone received from De Kalb County are of
decidedly inferior quality.
Arizona.—There is at present little demand for building stone in this
Territory, and consequently but little is known regarding its available
material. From Yavapai County, on the line of the Atlantic and Pa-
cific Railroad, we have received a block (No. 55571) of fine grained, com-
pact, light-pink sandstone, that from its warm and pleasing color and
easy working qualities would be eagerly sought by HKastern builders
were it more accessible. So far as we are informed, if is not at present
quarried to any extent.
Arkansas.—Brown massive “ freestone ” that will make a good build-
ing stone is stated by Owen* to occur in Van Buren County.
*Geol. of Arkansas, 1858, p. 75.
A46 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
California.—Around the Bay of San Francisco there occur sandstones
of a considerable variety of colors which are beginning to come into use
to some extent. The prevailing colors here are brownish and gray.
On Angel Island, in Marin County, there occurs a fine sandstone of a
greenish-gray color, which has been used in the Bank of California
building, and others of a lighter shade are found in various parts of
Alameda County. A few miles south of San José, Santa Clara County,
there are also inexhaustible supplies of light gray and buff stone, but
which are at present worked only in a small way, Near Cordelia, So-
lano County, there occurs a coarse, dark-gray volcanic tuff, that can,
perhaps, be utilized for rough construction should occasion demand.
Colorado.—This State contains a variety of sandstones, of good qual-
ity, but which, owing to lack of transportation facilities and the thinly
settled condition of the country, are as yet in little demand. Near Fort
Collins, in Larimer County, a fine light-gray stone occurs which is ex-
cellent for flagging and foundations, but contains too much pyrite for
fine building purposes. At Coal Creek, in Fremont County, is also a
fine grayish or buff stone closely resembling that of Berea, Ohio. As
seen by the writer in the stone-yards of Denver, this is a most excellent
material, being free from flaws, of good color, and cutting to a sharp
edge. It is stated that it occurs in inexhaustible quantities and is
obtainable in blocks of large size. At Glencoe, above Golden, in Jefter-
son County, there occurs a deep salmon-red stone of a beantiful warm
and lively hue. It is said to work with considerable difficulty, but
is much sought on account of its color. Its principal market is now
Chicago, but it is a matter of regret that it can not be introduced into
our eastern markets. Near Morrison, in the same county, there occur
extensive beds of red and nearly white sandstone. The white is not
considered desirable, but the red is much sought for trimming pur-
poses. It is stated to absorb water readily, and hence to be peculiarly
liable to damage from frost. The light-colored stone used in the con-
struction of the court-house at Denver was obtained from Cretaceous
beds near Cafion City. Trinidad, Las Animas County, also furnishes
a good sandstone, which is used in Denver, and another important stone
of good quality is brought from Amargo, in Rio Arribo County, across
the line in New Mexico.
Connecticut.—ASs already noted (ante, p. 289) the first quarries of sand-
stone to be systematically worked in this country were those located
in the now well-known Triassic beds at Portland and Middletown in this
State. The area of the Triassic deposit in New England as given by
Dana* extends from New Haven on Long Island Sound to northern
*Manual of Geology, p. 404. The entire area of the Triassic sandstones in the
United States as given by this authority is divided into three parts: (1) the Connec-
ticut area as given above; (2) the Palisade area, commencing along the west side of
the Hudson River in the southeast corner of New York, near Piermont, and stretch-
ing southwestward, through Pennsylvania, as far as Orange County, Va., about 350 _
miles long; and (3) the North Carolina area, commencing near the Virginia line and
extending through North Carolina over the Deep River region, 120 miles long.

Massachusetts, having a length of 110 miles and an average width of
20 miles. The stone is at present quarried only at Portland, Middlesex
County, East Haven, New Haven County, and Manchester, Hartford
County; though small quarries have been worked from time to time to
furnish stone for local consumption at East Windsor, Hayden’s Station,
Suffield, Newington, Farmington, and Forrestville in this same county.
The Manchester stone is a beautiful fine-grained reddish variety, and
that from East Haven is represented as excellent for rock-faced work.
The Portland quarries are, however, by far the most important of any
of these, and it is estimated that from their combined areas not Jess than
4,300,000 cubic feet of material have been taken.
As now worked at this place the quarries descend with absolutely
perpendicular walls on three sides for adepth in some cases of upwards
of 150 feet, the fourth side being sloping to allow passage for teams
or workmen. The stone is of medium fineness of texture, of a uniform
reddish-brown color, and lies in nearly horizontal beds varying from
a few inches to 20 feet in thickness. Natural blocks 100 by 50 by 20
feet occur, and hence blocks of any desired size can be obtained.
In quarrying, channeling machines are used to some extent, though
in many cases large blocks are first loosened by means of deep drill
holes and heavy charges of powder, and these then split up by wedges.
The blocks are roughly trimmed down with picks at the quarry and
shipped thus to New York and other large cities to be worked up as oc-
casion demands. Scarcely any of the material is dressed at the quarries.
The stone has been used in all our leading cities, particularly in New
York, and has even been shipped to San Francisco via Cape Horn.
But little quarrying is done in cold weather, as care must be taken
against freezing while the stone is full of quarry water, a temperature
of 22° I. being sufficient to freeze and burst fine blocks of freshly-
quarried material. About a week or ten days of good drying weather
is considered sufficient to so season a stone as to place it beyond danger
from frost.
Great outcry has from time to time been raised against the Portland
stone on account of its disposition to seale or flake off when laid in ex-
posed places. While it is undoubtedly true that it is unfit for earved
work in exposed situations, still the author can but feel that the archi-
tect and builder are largely responsible for the many ruined fronts
caused by this sealing, to be seen in New York and elsewhere. It is
the almost invariable custom in building to split the stone with the
grain into slabs but a few inches thick and to veneer the walls of build-
ings with these slabs placed on edge. Let thicker blocks be used and
the stone laid on its bed, as nature laid it down in the quarry, and
this defect will prove less serious, if it be not entirely remedied. But no
stone that is capable of absorbing so large a percentage of water as 1s
much of the Connecticut and other of our Triassic stones, can be more
than very moderately durable in the very trying climate of our Northern
States.
448 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
There is, however, a vast difference in material from the same quarry.
I have seen tombstones perfectly sound and legible after an exposure
of nearly two hundred years, while others begin to scale in less than
ten. The remarks made in the chapter on selection of stone are es-
pecially applicable here. :
Dakota.—The pink and red quartzite from Sioux Falls in this State is
one of the most promising stones of the West. Chemically the stone
is almost pure silica, with only enough iron oxide to impart color to it.
It is so close grained as to be practically impervious to moisture, so
strong as to endure a pressure of 25,000 pounds to the square inch, and
will take a polish almost like glass, with which it may favorably com-
pare in durability. In color the stone varies from light pink to jasper
red, and it is one of the few stones at present quarried in the United
States which is equally well adapted for rough building and for orna-
mental work, both interior and exterior. Professor Winchell, in report-
ing upon this stone, states that it bears a heat up to that of redness
without cracking or scaling. The writer is informed by Mr. J. H.
Drake, of Saint Paul, that the stone will shortly be introduced into the
Eastern markets for tiling, decorative work, and general building pur
poses. The chief drawback to the stone, as may readily be imagined,
is its great hardness, which is fully equal to that of pure quartz, or 7 of
the seale as given on page 294. It however possesses a remarkably per-
fect rift and grain, and by especially designed apparatus the company
expect to be able to put it upon the market at such prices as shall in-
sure its adoption, and at the same time return a fair profit.
The stone has been used in the construction of the “ Qaeen Bee”
flouring mill at Sioux Falls, a structure 100 feet long, 80 feet wide, and
106 feet high, the walls being 5 feet thick at the base and averaging 2
feet 9 inches throughout. It has also been used in the construction of
several private residences, and the Dakota penitentiary in this same
city, and in the buildings of the deaf-mute school at Keokuk, and those
of the Grinnell College at Grinnell, Iowa. It has also been used in
polished columns and pilasters in the German-American Bank and
Union Depot buildings at Sait Paul, Minnesota.
Idaho.—The Museum has received samples of a rather coarse, very
light-colored, sandstone of fair quality from Boisé City, in this Territory,
but we have no information regarding their availability or the extent
of the deposits.
Illinois. —Carboniferous sandstones of light and dark-brown color and
good quality are found near Carbondale, in this State. The stone is of
medium texture, works readily, and closely resembles some of the
Triassic brownstones of Connecticut. The beds are about 14 feet thick
and are capable of furnishing blocks of large dimensions. A very fine-
grained light bluish-gray laminated stone is quarried in a small way
near Xenia, and other sandstones of fair quality occur at Suka, Marion
County, Chester, Randolph County, and various points in Perry and
Greene Counties.
BUILDING AND ORNAMENTAL STONES. A49
Indiana.—Very light, almost white, and bluish-grey sandstones, of
fine, sharp, and even grain, occur in French Lick Township, Orange
County, and in a few localities in Warren and Perry Counties. A part
of the Orange County stone is used for whetstones, and is known com-
mercially under the name of ‘* Hindostan oil-stone.”
Georgia.—No sandstones are at present quarried in this State, but it
is Stated that “the Chattooga Mountains contain a considerable va-
riety and of various shades of colors, among which are white, gray,
buff, brown, and red. Some of these exist in massive compact beds,
while others have a jointed structure that make them easily quarried.
The thickness of the entire sandstone series is about 800 feet. Build-
ing stone of this character may be had also on Lookout and Sand
Mountains, in the Cohutta range.”* We have as yet seen none of the
above.
Towa.—This State produces but little of value as building material
in the way of sandstones. Coarse, dark brown stones of Carboniferous
and Cretaceous ages occur in Muscatine and Cass Counties and have
been quarried to some extent, but their qualities are not such as to
cause them to be used for other than rough work in the near vicinity.
Kansas.—Good sandstones are stated by Professor Broadhead to
occur in several of the counties in the southwestern part of this State,
though, so far as we have observed, few if any of these are of such a
quality as to acquire > other than alocal market. A fine, deep blue, gray
laminated stone is found at Parsons, and a brownish one at Oswego, in
Labette County, also a brownstone at Pawnee, Crawford County, and
others of various hues in Bourbon, Neosho, Montgomery, Wilson,
Woodson, Greene, and Elk Counties. .
Kentucky.—The sandstones of this State, so far as shown’ by the col-
lections, are all of a light color, fine-grained and rather soft. Light
buff and pinkish colors are found in Simpson, Grayson, Todd, John-
son and Breckenridge Counties, some of which are of a beautiful
mellow tint. Light-gray stones of apparent good quality, and closely
resembling the Berea of Ohio, occur at Blue Lick Mountain, Living-
ston in Rockeastle County, and in Pineville, Bell County. We are
unable to give further information regarding them.
Maryland.—Sandstone of such a nature as to be in demand for other
than local uses is quarried in but a single locality in this State. In
Montgomery County, near the mouth of Seneca Creek, about 30 miles
northwest from the city of Washington, there occurs a considerable de-
posit of Triassié sandstone which for many years has been quarried
more or less to furnish material for the Washington market. The stone
is as arule light reddish-brown in color, of fine and even texture, and
well adapted for all manner of Baila and ornamental work. The
writer has examined this stone, both in the quarry and in various
buildings, aud does not hesitate to pronounce it one of the best of our
™ Gommony ealth of Georgia, p. 136.

Triassic stones. Clay-holes abound in some portions of the rock, but
can be avoided by careful selection. The stone is not at all shaley and
shows little, if any, disposition to scale when exposed to the weather.
The Smithsonian Institution, erected in 1848-54 from this stone, shows
few defects {rom weathering alone, and these only in those cases where
they might have been avoided by judicious selection. On blocks of
this stone in the aqueduct of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal which
have been constantly permeated by water every season for fifty years,
the tool-marks are still fresh and no signs of sealing are visible other
than are produced by too close contact at the joints. The quarries are
conveniently situated near by the canal, where stone can be readily
loaded upon boats for the Washington markets, from whence it can be
shipped by rail or vessel to all our principal cities.
Massachusetts.—The beds of Triassic sandstone, which furnish in Con-
necticut the well-known Portland brownstone, are continued up the
valley of the Connecticut River to the northern boundary of Massachu-
setts and furnish in several places valuable deposits of building mate-
rial. At Kast Long Meadow, in Hampton County, quarries are worked
iu this formation which produce a rather finer grained stone than that
of Portland and of a bright brick-red color. Like all the Triassic stones
it is soft and works readily, and on account of its warmth of color can
be used with very pleasing effects in a variety of combinations.
The extensive formation of Primordial conglomerate in Dorchester,
Roxbury, Brookline, and other towns south and west of Boston furnishes
an inexhaustible supply of durable building material for rough work,
but which, owing to its coarseness, is unsuited for ornamental work of
any kind. The stone is quite variable in different localities, but may, as
a whole, be said to consist of a greenish gray groundmass or paste in
which are imbedded rounded pebbles of all sizes up to several inches
in diameter of quartz, granite, melaphyre, felsite, and a variety of rocks.
This composition renders the smooth dressing of the stone a practical
impossibility, and it is used only in the rough state, advantage being
taken of the numerous joint faces, which in building are placed outward,
thus forming a comparatively smooth wall. The stone thus forms a
very durable building material and has been used with good effect in
several churches and other buildings in and about Boston.
Michigan.—According to Professor Conover* the beds of Potsdam
sandstone occurring with frequent outcrops in the northern part of the
Upper Peninsula in this State are likely to furnish the largest quantity
and the best quality of building material found within the State limits.
The stone quarried from this formation at Marquette is of medium fine-
ness of texture, of « light brownish-red color, often curiously spotted or
mottled with gray. These gray spots are generally rounded and vary
in size, according to Mr. Batehen, from that of a pea to 12 or 18 inches
in diameter. These blotched portions are usually rejected in building,
* Report Tenth Census, 1880, p. 227
BUILDING AND ORNAMENTAL STONES. A51
although when used they give striking and not unpleasant effects. The
spots are stated by the above-mentioned authority to be equally dura-
ble with the rest or colored portion. A similar stone is quarried at
L’Anse, in Houghton County. Mr. Bachen states these stones were in-
troduced into the Chicago market about 1870. Their chief defects are
flint pebbles, which fly out in process of dressing, and clay holes. Both
defects can be avoided by proper selection of the stone. In color the
Marquette and L’Anse stone are both richer than the Connecticut or
New Jersey brownstoues, and apparently would prove more durable,
although as yet they have been too little used to establish this point to
a certainty. Besides the localities mentioned, these stones occur at
various places along the lake shore west of Keweenaw Point, and also
near the eastern end of the coast of Lake Superior, along the valley of
the Laughing Whitefish River and around it. At this latter locality
the stone is very hard, compact, heavily bedded, splitting readily into
slabs of any required thickness, and is especially suited for heavy ma-
sonry.
Minnesota.—According to Professor Winchell* the red sandstones of
Fond du Lae are the most valuable of their kind that the State pos-
sesses. They are of the same formation as the New Ulm quartzite de-
scribed below, but were less hardened at the time of their upheaval.
The stone is of medium texture and of a brown or reddish color, closely
resembling the Connecticut brownstone, but much harder and firmer.
A similar rock comes from Isle Royal and Sault Ste. Marie at the east-
ernend of Lake Superior. At this latter place it is often mottled with
gray or greenish. The stone consists almost wholly of quartz cemented
with silica and iron oxides. Its crushing strength is said to vary be-
tween 4,000 and 5,000 pounds per square inch.
At New Ulm and in other places in Cottonwood, Watonwan, Rock,
and Pipestone Counties there occurs a very hard, compact, red quartzite,
which has been used to seme extent for building purposes, though its
intense hardness is a great drawback, but it is practically indestructi-
ble and hence valuable. In Pipestone County the rock occurs associ-
ated with the beautiful and interesting red pipestone or catlinite, famous
on account of its being used by the Indians for pipes and ornaments.
At this point the rock is jasper red in colorand very hard, but is be-
ginning to be used for ashler work, producing very striking effects. I
am informed by the quarry owners that the entire bed at Pipestone is
some 75 feet in thickness and the stone is quarried entirely by means of
bars and wedges, no explosives being negessary. A polished slab of the
stone of great beauty was exhibited at the Chicago Exposition in 1886.
In Courtland Township, Nicollett County, the same quartzite occurs
of a beautiful deep red, almost purple, color. Samples received at
the National Museum were found to work with great difficulty but
were very beautiful. The same stone, but of lighter color, occurs at
*Geol, of Minnesota, Vol. I.

Sioux Falls, Dak. At Dresbach, in Winona County, there occurs a
fine-grained rather soft-light gray stone which bears a close resem-
blance to the Berea stone of Ohio. It is quarried to some extent and
is regarded by Professor Winchell as promising of future usefulness.
We have received also specimens of a fine light-pink sandstone from
Pine County, which is stated to ocecur,in heavy beds and to be easy to
quarry. Itis regarded by Professor Winchell as fully equal to the Cleve-
land, Ohio, freestone. The sandstone occurring at Jordan, Scott County, -
is of a light color, and while suitable for general building purposes is
not regarded as fitted for first-class structures.
Missouri._—So far as the author has had opportunity of examining, the
fine hght buif subearboniferous sandstone quarried within a few miles
of the town of Saint Genevieve is the most important sandstone in the
State.
The quarry face shows a bed 25 feet in thickness of good uniform
rock, and blocks 150 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 10 feet thick are said
to be obtainable if desired. The stone weathers well in the climate of
Saint Louis, but is stated to discolor by smoke.
Near Miami Station, in Carroll County, a fine gray sandstone is quar-
ried, the better grades of which make good building material; but it
must be selected’ with care, as it frequently coutains concretionary
masses which weather out on exposure.
The Johnson County sandstone is stated to be of good quality in
certain situations. It has been used in several important structures
in the State, and stands the test of time without scaling, only becoming
stained and darkened with age. It is quite light, weighing only 140
pounds per cubic foot when seasoned, or 145-150 when freshly quarried.
Mississippi.—Sandstones of gray and light buff color occur in Jeffer-
son, Rankin, and Tishomingo Counties, in this State. Samples of these
were on exhibition at the exposition at New Orleans in the winter of
188485, and from thence were transferred to the national collection at
Washington. As shown by these specimens the stones are fine-grained
but rather soft and friable, and in no way remarkable for their beauty.
Their durability would depend apparently altogether on climatie in-
fluences. The writer has no information regarding the uses to which
the stones have been put, if, indeed, they have as yet been used at all.
Montana.—A fine light gray Cretaceous sandstone somewhat resem-
bling the well-known stone of Berea, Ohio, occurs in considerable abun-
dance in Rocky Cation, Gallatin County, and is coming into general use in
Boseman. The writer is informed* that it can be obtained in blocks
of large dimensions and that it works readily when first quarried, but
hardens on exposure, though, like the Ohio stone, it stains with red-
dish streaks from oxidation of pyrite. A compact red quartzite from
near Salesville, west, of the west Gallatin, is also coming into use to
some extent. A fine, very light stone of uncertain age is also quarried

near Dillon for use in Butte, Deer Lodge County. So recently has the
Territory become settled that there has as yet arisen but little demand
for other materials than wood for building. The great scarcity of this
article in the most thickly settled portions of the Territory, together
with the abundgnce of easy-working, but in so dry < climate durable,
sandstone, will doubtless bring about a radical change within a very
few years.
New Jersey.—The largest and most extensively worked quarries of
stone of any kind in this State are in the Triassic belt of red or brown
sandstone which extends from the New York line in a general south-
westerly direction across the State to the Delaware River. The principal
quarries are in various towns in Passaic, Essex, Hunterdon, and Mer-
cer Counties. The stone, like that of Connecticut and other Triassic
areas described, is a granitic sandstone, cemented by iron oxides, silica,
and carbonate of lime; the colors varying from light brownish gray to
reddish brown. As shown in the Museum collections, the stone is as a
rule of finer texture than that of Connecticut, and jess distinctly lami-
nated, consequently scaling less readily when exposed to atmospheric
agencies. According to Professor Cook,* this stone has been used from
an early date in Bergen, Passaic, and Essex Counties for building pur-
poses and for monuments and gravestones, where it has shown good
proof of its durability. It has aiso been very extensively used in New
York and neighboring cities. At the quarries, as is usually the case,
the surface stone is found more or less broken up and blocks of small
size only ean be obtained, but the beds become more solid as they are
followed downward. At some of the Belleville quarries blocks contain-,
ing 1,000 cubic feet have been broken out. In one of these quarries over
2 acres have been excavated to an average depth of 60 feet. Some
of the quarries, as at Passaic, produce stone of several varieties of color,
as light brown, dark brown, and light gray; the fine-grained dark brown
is usually considered the best and is the most sought. In several of
the quarries trap-rock (diabase) also occurs.
New Mexico.—F rom the vicinity of Las Vegas Hot Springs have been
received samples of iight gray, brown, and pink sandstone, of fine text-
ure and apparently excellent quality. They are not as yet much used,
owing simply to lack of demand for stone of any kind. A soft, very
light gray voleanie tutt occurs at Santa Ié, which may prove of vaiue
for building purposes in a dry climate, or one where the temperature
does not often fall below the freezing point.
Nevada.—A coarse, gray, friable stone is quarried at Carson, in this
State, but it is unfit for any sort of fine work or foundation, owing to
its softness and porosity.
New York.—The principal sandstones now quarried in this State may
be divided into three groups, belonging to three distinct geological
horizons, each group possessing characteristics peculiar to itself and
*Annual report State Geologists, i881, p. 43.
454 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
so pronounced as to be readly recognized thereby. The first of these
belong to the Hamilton period of the Devonian formations, and are
fine-grained, compact, dark blue-gray stones, very strong and durable.*
They give a pronounced clayey odor when breathed upon, and have
been designated greywacke by Professor Julien, though popularly known
as “bluestones” for their ordinary color. The second group belongs to
the Medina period of the Upper Silurian formations. These stones are
largely siliceous, of coarser, more distinctly granular texture than the
last, and are of a gray or red color. The third and last group belongs
to the Potsdam period of the Cambrian formations. Like the Medina
stone, they are largely siliceous, and contain a much larger proportion
of siliceous cementing material. These are usually light red or nearly
white and intensely hard and refractory.
Discussing each group more in detail, it may be said that the “ blue-
stone” district is confined to comparatively narrow limits west of the
Hudson River, and mainly to Albany, Green, and Ulster Counties. It
begins in Schoharie County, passes to the southeast and enters Albany
County near Berne, and from there passes around to the south and south-
west across Green, Ulster, and Sullivan Counties, and across the west
end of Orange County to the Delaware River and into Pike County,
Pennsylvania.t
The typical bluestone belongs to the Hamilton period, and is a fine-
grained, compact, tough, and eminently durable rock of a deep dark blue-
gray color. Owing to the fact that it occurs usually in thin beds and
splits out readily in slabs but a few inches thick, it has been used very
extensively for flagging, curbs, sills, caps, steps, ete. Its somber color is
something of a drawback to its use for general building purposes. As a
rule the quarries are shallow affairs, and the work carried on in the
crudest possible methods. At Quarryville, Ulster County, the quarries
have been worked for upwards of forty years, and vast quantities of the
material removed. The quarries lie in lines along three parallel ledges,
which have a general northeast and southwest direction, the beds of
sandstone overlying each other from west to east, with strata of slate
and hard sandstone between them. The quarries in the easternmost
ledge extend about a mile in length, 175 feet in width, and have been
worked to an average depth of about 12 feet. In the middle ledge the
line of quarries extends over an area about 14 miles in length, 150 to
500 feet in width, and have been quarried te a depth of from 12 to 20
* Microscopic examination has shown the Devonian sandstones of New York to
consist chiefly of “angular to subangular grains of quartz and feldspar, with their
interstices occupied by smaller grains of magnetite, scales of chlorite, and particu-
larly short fibers of hornblende interlacing the grains of the other constituents. The
result is an ‘argillaceous sandstone,’ flagstone, or greywacke, peculiarly compact
and impermeable, which has retained its fresh condition to an extent which could
not otherwise have been expected from an aggregate so liable to ready decomposi-
tion.” A.A. Julien in Proe. A.A. A.S., Vol. xxvi, 1879, p. 372.

feet. Quite heavy beds occur in some of the quarries, and the joints
allow blocks of very large size to be obtained. In the western ledge
the quarries are in a line some 1,000 feet long by 150 wide, and are
worked to an average depth of about 12 feet. The total thickness of
the layers in this region is from 4 to 20 feet, and the stripping from 6 to
17 feet in depth. In working the quarries but little capital is required
beyond the value of the necessary tools, they being commonly leased and
royalty paid at the rate of one-half cent per square foot of stone quar-
ried. The larger size of blocks have dimensions of about 15 by 8 feet,
though some 20 by 15 feet have been taken out. At the time of taking
the census in 1880 there were upwards of one hundred and fifty quar-
ries within the bluestone district as given above. All, however, agree
so closely with those of Quarryville, that further description seems un-
necessary.
The quarry district in the Medina sandstone extends from Brockport,
Monroe County, to Lockport, Niagara County. The stone is, as a rule,
moderately fine-grained in texture, hard, and of a gray or red color, the
red variety being most used for building purposes, while the gray is
used in street-paving. The red variety has a bright and pleasing ap-
pearance; both red. and gray are sometimes used together, with good
effect. Most of the stone buildings in Lockport and Buffalo are of the
Medina stone. The most important feature of the stone is, however,
its adaptability for street-paving, in place of the usual granite or trap
blocks. It is said that the sandstone blocks have the advantage of
not wearing smooth, as do the granites and traps, while af the same
time they are nearly, if not quite, as durable.
The stratum of quarry rock is put at about 30 feet in thickness, the
different layers of which vary in thickness from 18 to 30 inches.
Three miles south of the town of Potsdam, in Saint Lawrence County,
the Raquette River cuts across the Potsdam formation, and quarries
are worked along the banks of the stream. The outcrops at this point
are some 2 miles in width from north to south. In the quarry the
strata dip to the south at an angle of about 45°, the beds increasing in
thickness somewhat from the top downward, until at a depth of 40 feet
they are some 2 or 3 feet in thickness. In color the stone is light-reddish
or reddish-brown, and though, when first quarried, soft enough to work
readily, becomes most intensely hard on seasoning. It is very highly
silicious and is, without doubt, one of the most durable of all our sand-
stones. Owing to its hardness it has been as yet but little used for
general building purposes. Columbia College, in New York City, is
one of the most important buildings yet constructed from it. At Fort
Ann, in the same county, the stone is much lighter in color and com-
posed of almost pure silica, there being an almost entire absence of iron
oxides in the cementing material. The stone is, as a consequence, ex-
tremely hard, but tough and durable.
North Carolina.—The narrow belt of Triassic sandstone already men-
456 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
tioned as passing through this State furnishes fine, compact, ight and
dark reddish-brown stone of a quality not at all inferior to any of that in
the more Northern and Hastern States. Through the energy of the late
Professor Kerr the museum has received a very full assortment of these,
and we can speak of their qualities from a personal examination.
At Wadesborough, in Anson County, the stone lies in beds from
2 to 10 feet in thickness, which are inclined at an angle of about 25°
from the horizontal. It is of fine, even grain, quite massive, and of dark
brown and reddish colors. Heretofore it has been used chiefly for
railroad work and for steps and general trimming purposes in Charlotte
and Wilmington, but is worthy of a wider application. Within the
past year steps have been taken to introduce it into the markets of
Washington and other of our eastern cities. The chemical composition
and crushing strength are given in the tables.
The Sanford stone is of a brown color and is said to lie in the quar-
ries in nearly horizontal strata from 1 to 5 feet in thickness. The stone
from near Egypt is quite similar in appearance. Near Durham it be-
comes in part of a gray color, but otherwise is little different. This
stone has been used in Raleigh for upwards of thirty years and shows
itself to be strong and durable.
Ohio.—According t7 Professor Orton* those rocks of the sub-Carbon.
iferous period called by the Ohio Geological Survey the Waverly group,
are the most important as to production of building stone in the geo-
logical scale of this State. The following section shows the arrange-
ment of this formation:
1. Maxville limestones, in patches. 4. Berea shale.
2. Logan group. 5. Berea grit.
3. Cuyahoga shale. 6. Bedford shale.
Of these, number 1 occurs but seldom. Number 2 consists of fine-
grained sandstones overlying and alternating with massive conglomer-
ate in the central and southern part of the State. In thickness about
100 feet. The Waverly conglomerate is a member of this group. Number
3, about 300 feet in thickness, is a blue argillaceous shale in many
parts of the State, but in many places contains scattered courses of
sandstone of great value. Number 4 is from 10 to 30 feet thick, and
number 5 is the Berea grit, the great quarry rock of northern Uhio.
This formation is from 10 to 75 feet in thickness, and extends in a
belt from Williamsfield, in the southeastern corner of Ashtabula County,
westward into Erie County, and thence nearly directly southward in
Adams County to the Ohio River. The stratum of sandstone where it
is best developed consists of heavy sheets, with often a course at the
top of thin, broken layers, called shell rock, and of no value for building
stone. Number 6 is from 10 to 100 feet in thickness, and furnishes no
building stone, excepting in Cuyahoga County, where it yields the well-
known “Euclid bluestone.” .
* Report of the Geological Survey of Ohio, Vol. V, p. 578.
BUILDING AND ORNAMENTAL STONES. 457
The Berea grit, as quarried for building purposes, may be deseribed
as a fine-grained homogeneous sandstone, of a very light buff, gray, or
blue-gray color, and very evenly bedded, the individual sheets varying
from a few inches to 10 or more feet in thickness. In many places this
evenness of bedding is especially remarkable, as in some of the quar-
ries of Trumbull County, where blocks of stone 10 feet square and
only 14 inches thick have been extracted, and with surfaces so smooth
and straight that a straight-edge laid upon them would touch at every
point. Stabs but 1 or 2 inches in thickness are said to have such
strength that they go into general use without question. In one case
a strip 150 feet long, 5 feet wide, and but 3 inches thick was reported
as raised intact from the quarry bed. The various layers, although
closely compacted, are, however, perfectly distinct, adhering to one
another ‘scarcely more than sawn planks in a pile.”
Like many of the sandstones of this horizon, the Berea grits contain
but little cementing material, the various particles being held together
mainly by cohesion induced by the pressure to which they were sub-
jected at the time of their consolidation. They are, therefore, soft,
working readily in any direction, and are particularly sought forcarving.
This property also renders the stone of especial value for the manu-
facture of grindstones, since the presence of a cement will nearly al-
ways cause a stone to glaze and its cutting power be thereby nearly if
not quite destroyed. Unfortunately the Berea stone nearly always
contains more or less sulphide of iron (pyrite} and needs to be selected
with care. The best varieties will usually become yellowish on long
exposure, but this is not in all cases injurious. Indeed, this property
of ‘“imeilowing with age” is now claimed as one of the good qualities
of the stone. When, however, the pyrite occurs in such quantities as
to produce by its oxidation unsightly blotches its presence is, of course,
objectionable.
The principal quarries of the stone at present writing are situated in
the towns of Amherst, Berea, Kast Cleveland, Ilyria, and Independence
in Lorain and Cuyahoga Counties.
At Amherst the quarries are located in a series of ledges which were
once the shore cliffs of Lake Erie. The elevated position of the stones
is a great advantage, since the light and uniform color seems due to
the fact that this elevation produces a free drainage, and the stones
have been traversed by atmospheric waters to such a degree that all
processes of oxidation which are possible have been very nearly com-
pleted. The stone here as elsewhere varies considerably in character
and solidity within limited distances. The following section of one of
the Amherst quarries is given by Professor Orton:

458 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
Nearly all the quarries exhibit this diversity of material, although
the order of arrangement is not always the same. The colors are light
buff and bluish gray, the buff stone occurring above the line of perfect
drainage and extending down as far as the 2 feet of bridge stone, form-
jng a total thickness of 27 feet. In most of the Amherst quarries the
relative amount of buff stone is greater. Difference in color and text-
ure has given rise to various local names. which may be mentioned
here. The colors are denominated simply by “ blue” and “ buff.” The
regularly and evenly stratified stone is called “Split rock;” that in
which the stratification is irregular and marked by fine transverse and
wavy lines is ealled ‘Spider web,” and the homogeneous stone show-
ing little or no stratification is called “ Liver rock.”
As regards composition the stone contains usually about 95 per cent.
of silica with small amounts of lime, magnesia, iron, oxides, alumina,
and alkalies. Analysis has shown them to contain from 5.83 to 7.75 per
cent. of water when first taken from the quarry, and from 3.59 to 4.28
per cent. when dry. The quarries can be operated only about eight
months of the year owing to the injury caused by freezing when the
stone is full of its quarry water.
In the town of Berea nearly 40 acres of territory have been quarried
over to an average depth of 40 feet. The stratum is 65 to 75 feet in
thickness, the individual sheets varying from 2 inches to 10 feet. The
stone is as a rule a little darker than the Amherst bluestone. It is used
mostly for building purposes, though grindstones and whetstones are
also manufactured quite extensively.
Great care must be taken here in selection of material, as the sulphide
of iron is often present in such amount as to shortly disfigure the sur-
faces and even discolor the stone in the courses below.
The well known ‘ Euclid bluestone” is obtained from the Bedford
shale formation in Newburgh and Euclid, in Cuyahoga County. The
stone differs from the Berea in being of finer and more compact texture,
and of a deep blue gray color. Like the Berea stone, however, it un-
fortunately contains considerable quantities of pyrite, and, as a general
thing, is not a safe stone for other than bridge work and foundations or
flagging, for which last purpose it is eminently suited. Even when free
from pyrite it does not weather in uniform colors, and needs always to
be selected with great caution.
In the vicinity of Marietta and Constitution, in Washington County,
a fine grained buff and blue gray sandstone, belonging to the Upper
Coal measures series, is quite extensively quarried for grindstones and
building purposes. Different portions of the stratum furnish stone
of all varieties of texture for wet grinding, and the grindstones are
shipped to all manufacturing points in the United States. The princi-
pal market for the building-stone is in Marietta and various towns along
the Ohio River.
At Piketown there is quarried a very pretty, fine grained brown-

stone, soft and easy to work, and apparently fairly durable. It has
been used in some of the finest stone fronts in Columbus, in this
State.
According to Professor Orton,* however, the stone is brown only on
the outcrop, and a few feet from the surface assumes a dark blue-gray
color, and loses its value as an ornamental stone, since it contains a
large amount of soluble iron protoxide, which produces bad discolora-
tion on exposure. An analysis of this stone is given in the tables.
Oregon.—Two miles south of Oakland, Douglas County, in this State,
there occurs an extensive deposit of a fine, dark blue-gray sandstone,
which changes to a drab color on exposure. It occurs in layers of 17
to 36 inches in thickness, parted by shaly seams, and is readily quarried
by means of wedges. Quarries were opened in 1879, but have not been
extensively worked as yet. A fine-grained sandstone, said to be suita-
ble for either building or ornamental work, also occurs about 14 miles
from Portland, in Clackamas County. It has been quarried since 1866,
and used in some prominent structures in Portland.
Pennsylvania.—Vhe belt of Triassic sandstones passing through south-
western Pennsylvania is described as beginning at the west bank of the
Hudson River and extending in a broad belt from the Bay of New York
to the base of the first ledges of the Highlands, being bounded on the
northwest by this chain and its continuation. To the southwestward
it traverses New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and, in a somewhat
interrupted manner, Virginia and part of North Carolina, its total
length being not less than 500 miles, and of a width varying from 10 to
50 miles. The principal quarry in this formation in Pennsylvania is
situated on the south side of a hill in Hummelstown, Dauphin County,
the stone dipping to the north at an angle of about 40° and the ledge
being about 85 feet in thickness. The rock is evenly bedded, the courses
varying from 3 to 10 feet in thickness, the joints regular and from 4 to
40 feet apart, so that blocks of any practicable size can, it is said, be
obtained. The texture is about medium fineness, and the color a deep
Dluish brown, slightly purple. The topmost layers are, however, of a
reddish brown color, closely resembling the Portland stone. The stone
compares very favorably with any of the Triassic stones, its chief de-
fect, so far as the author has observed, being occasional clay holes,
which sometimes have an unpleasant way of making their presence
known in unexpected and undesirable places. The Hummelstown stone
iS now in very general use in all our principal Eastern cities.
Stone from the same formation and differing, if at all, only in slight
color and texture peculiarities is quarried more or lessin other towns
along the belt, particularly Goldsborough, Reading, Bridgeport, and
several towns in Bucks County.
The Carboniferous sandstones of Pennsylvania are little quarried
excepting for local use, although occasionally of good quality. Near
*Op. cit., p. 599.
460 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1886.
Pittsburgh and Allegheny, and other towns in Allegheny County, there
are many quarries which produce gray stone of medium texture of ap-
parently good quality. They are said, however, to weather unevenly,
owing to the presence of calcareous matter, and to be very sensitive to
frost when first quarried. In several places in Westmoreland County
the stones of this age are of a gray, reddish, or brownish color, fine
grained and of good quality. They are used to some extent for build-
ing and also for flagging and paving.
The sub-Carboniferous formation, so valuable in Ohio for the building
stone they supply, are in this State of little value, or at least up to date
have been but little quarried for purposes of construction. At Venango,
in Franklin County, a fine-grained, evenly-bedded buff stone, some-
what resembling the buff varieties of the Berea grit, is quarried for
sidewalks and buildings in the near vicinity. Other quarries are located
at Titusville, and also at Uniontown, Altoona, and Scranton.
Aside from the Triassic stones, the most important sandstones at
present quarried in the State are from the Devonian formations. In
several towns in Pike, Carbon, Luzerne, Wyoming, Susquehanna, and
other counties, stones belonging to this formation, of a fine, compact
texture and dark blue-gray color, are quite extensively quarried. So
far as can be judged from the material examined, this is one of the most
valuable stones in the State for building as well as for flagging pur-
poses. The Wyoming County stone is known to the trade as * Wy-
oming Valley stone,” and is in considerable demand. It agrees very
closely in general appearance with much of the New York bluestone
already described.
Tennessee.—Fine- grained light pink and coarse buff sandstones occur
at Sewanee, in this State, and coarse gray at Parksville. The museum
is in possession of no information regarding the extent to which these
are used or their weathering properties. }
Texas.—So far as is yet known this State produces but little of value
in the way of sandstones. In Burnet County there are coarse dark-
brown and red Lower Silurian (?) sandstones that may do for purposes of
rough construction in the near vicinity. ies eee eee | 15, 033. 71 14, 934. 15

(2) MODULUS OF ELASTICITY.
By the term modulus of elasticity is understood the amount of force in
pounds requisite to stretch a bar of any material 1inch square to twice
its original length, provided the rate of stretch could continue uniform
throughout the trial without the breaking of the material. The modulus
of rupture is the force requisite to break a similar bar 1 inch square
resting upon supports 1 inch apart, the load being applied in the mid-
dle.
So far as the writer has been able to learn, but few tests of this nature
have been made upon stone. The following are from the report of Mr.
T. H. Johnson.*
* Rep. State Geol. of Indiana, 1881, p. 45.

APPENDIX F.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS.
4Bolian rocks. Fragmental rocks composed of wind-drifted materials. The “drift
sand rock,” the common building stone of Bermuda, is a good example.
Argillaceous. Containing clayey matter.
Ashlar masonry. Cut stone laid in continuous courses.
Bardiglio. This is a favorite Italian marble obtained on Montalto, on the southern
borders of Tuscany. It is a gray or bluish color, traversed by dark veins.
In some specimens the veining assumes the appearance of flowers, when it is
known as Bardiglio fiorito. The name is now commonly applied to any mar-
ble having this color and veining.
Bastard granite. A somewhat indefinite name given by quarrymen to gneissic or
schistose rocks, resembling granites in a general way, but differing in structure,
The name is frequently applied by quarrymen to any vein or dike rock oceur-
ring in a granite quarry.
Bird’s-eye-marble. A term used in Iowa to designate a fossil coral (Acervularia
davidsonia), and used for making small ornaments.
Bituminous. Containing bitumen.
Breast. The face or wall of a quarry is sometimes called by this name.
Breccias. Fragmental stones, the individual particles of which are large and angular
in form,
Bluestone. In Maryland a gray gneiss; in Ohio a gray sandstone; in the District of
Columbia a mica schist; in New Yorka blue-gray sandstone; in Pennsylvania
a‘blue-gray sandstone. A popularterm; not sufficiently definite to be of value.
Butt. The butt ofa slate quarry is where the overlying rock comes in contact with
an inclined stratum of slate rock.
Calcareous. Containing lime.
Cavernous. Containing irregular cavities or pores, due in most cases to the removal
of some mineral, or in limestones of a fossil.
Cellular or vesicular. Containing cells or vesicles. This structure is very com-
mon in recent eruptive rocks, especially the glassy forms. Sometimes the stone
contains so many ceils that it will float on water, as is the case with common
pumice. These cells are inmany cases subsequently filled with other minerals,
and the rock is then called amygdaloidal. The Brighton melaphyr is the best
example of amygdaloidal structure found in our building stones.
Choncoidal fracture. When the surfaces of a chip broken off by a hammer are
curved like a bivalve moliusk the stone is said to have a choncoidal fracture.
Compact stozes, like lithographic limestones, obsidians, and flints, usually
break in this manner.
Clayholes. Cavities in stones which are usually filled with fine sand or clayey ma-
terial often of a lighter color than the stone itselfand so loosely coherent as to
fall away immediately or to weather out on exposure. They are especially
prevalent in many of our Triassic sandstones, and, besides being unsightly, are
elements of weakness and should always be avoided.

522 REPORT ON NATIONAL MUSEUM, 18386.
Concretionary. Made of concretions, or rounded particles formed by the collecting of
mineral matter around some center so as to form a rounded mass composed of con-
centric layers like the coatings of an onion. When the concretions are small,
like the roe of a fish, the structure is called odlitic, or if large as a pea, pisolitic.
The best examples of this structure in our building stones are the odlitic lime-
stones of Bedford, Ind., and other places. A rare structure in crystalline rocks.
Conglomerates. Fragmental stones composed of large, rounded fragments.
Coquina. The Spanish name for a shell limestone which occurs abundantly in Flor-
ida, composed simply of a mass of shells connected together.

Pozzuolana. Volcanic clay; employed with great success to give, when mixed with
lime not hydraulic or slightly hydraulic, the properties which the latter requires
for composing hydraulic mortars. Very abundant in St. Michaels,and explored
in great scale in the suburbs of Ponta Delgada for the buildings of the locality
and for exportation to the eontinent of Portugal. It is generally employed in
all the public works of the country. In constructions out of water, or in hy-
draulic works by tides orin fresh water, the masonry is made with mortar com-
posed of one part of lime and three parts of pozzuolana, using lime not hydraulic
for the first kind of works and slightly hydraulic for the second. For works
constantly exposed to the sea slightly hydraulic lime, pozzuolana, and coarse
sand are mixed together in equal parts. (Portuguese Centennial Catalogue,

EGYPT.
Onyx marbie. From quarries at Blad Recam, near ravine of Oned-Abdallah,
Egypt (?). Polished block, 8iby 7 by 7 inches. 25343.
This stone, the so-called Egyptian onyx, is composed principally of carbon-
ate of lime, and occurs in large beds among the Tertiary limestones of Blad
Recam (marble country), near the ravine of Oned-Abdallah. The old quar-
ries which supplied the inhabitants of Rome and Carthage with the fine
translucent marble used in the interior decorations of their houses and mon-
uments were here situated. These quarries were for over 1,000 years en-
tirely lost sight of, and it was not until the year 1849 that they were re-
discovered by aFrench gentleman, M. Delmonte. In ancient times the stone
was cut into small vases for holding precious ointments. It is now imported
in considerable quantities into Paris, where it is used in the manufacture
of time-pieces, small vases, candlesticks, and similar objects. (On Build-
ing and Ornamental Stones, by E. Hull, p. 149.)
Onyx marble. From quarries at Blad Recam, near ravine of Oned-Abdallah,
Egypt (?). Polished block, 18 by 8% by 7 inches.
This stone, popularly called Oriental alabaster, is another variety of mar-
ble derived from quarries in Egypt, and employed in works of art, except
statuary, both in ancient and medixwvaltimes. Its stalagmitie origin is at
once apparent upon inspection. The color is that of amber, or rich yellow-
ish brown, of various shades arranged in folds or wavy parallel bands;
sometimes itis beautifully iridescent. The mammillated structure so char-
acteristic of deposits due to filtration or percolation is also not infrequent.
This stone was largely employed by the ancient inhabitants of Egypt in
the formation of canopi (or jars surmounted by sculptured images of the
dog-headed god), in which were deposited the ashes of the dead. Besides
these smaller objects, large cinerary urns were formed of this material.
This stone is popularly called alabaster, but is entirely different from true
alabaster in composition. (On Building and Ornamental Stones, by E.
Hull, p. 150. See text, p. 475.)

Nummulitic limestone. A portion of one of the steps formerly leading to the obe-
lisk at Alexandria, Egypt, now in Central Park, New York. Alexandria. Com-
mander H. H. Gorringe, U. 8. Navy,1881. 26816.
Granite. A block of red hornblende biotite granite found in the débris at the foot of
the Egyptian obelisk at Alexandria by Commander Gorringe during the excava-
tions preparatory to itsremoval to New York. Thatthe fragment was originally
a portion of one of the obelisks now in New York and London is undoubted,
though of which can not with certainty be told. The specimen still shows the
original carving. Syene. Commander H. H. Gorringe, U.S. Navy, 1881. 26815.
—— Ablock of blue-gray hornblende mica granite, being a portion of a large col-
umn found in the débris at Alexandria during the excavations preparatory to
