JULES PNG 33) 5 SEI OVE TBP SUE oe a a a wn Ue Be ee 8 Cee Ue 82 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. Hon. J. J. CRAwrorp, State Mineralogist: I have the honor to submit this bibliography for publication by the State Mining Bureau, with the following brief remarks: The literature relating to the natural resources of California is widely scattered, and, to a great extent, inaccessible to any one but the specialist. The few descriptions of fossils printed in the State Geological Reports were issued nearly thirty years ago. Since that date a large number of papers on geology, paleontology, and descrip- tions of local mining regions have appeared, either in the trans- actions of learned societies or in special publications with but a limited distribution. In many cases these descriptions have been brief, and those of fossils without illustrations. Besides these, there are many articles incorporated in the official publications of the United States, and in volumes whose very existence is almost unknown to the general reader. I have labored to bring this mass of literature together and make it accessible to the student and general reader. Some may ask, What is the advantage of such a catalogue? But let them take up any special line of investigation, and the first thing wanted will be a list of books of reference to know what has been published on the subject. To the compiler such compilations are dry and laborious, and many think afterward I could do better; but let all those who think so, labor to improve this catalogue. The paleontologist has to deal with the different species under each genus, I have, therefore, included a full list of fossils under each reference, which will save the student many a weary vili Letter of Transmittal. hour of laborious research through many volumes and trans- actions of learned societies. The catalogue has been arranged under different heads, such as State geological reports, transactions of learned societies, etc., which will give the student a direct reference to the con- tents of different publications. The paleontology of California differs greatly from that of the Atlantic States in the existence of an extensive bed of the Tertiary formation, with but few of the older formations, indi- cating that the elevation of the Pacific Coast was chiefly made since the Mesozoic age, and a great part of it as late as the Quaternary. Nearly all the coast ranges and the low foothills of the Sierra Nevada are covered with thick beds which contain fossils identical with living species, with others extinct along the Californian shores, but living farther to the north or south. To make a complete catalogue, works on recent conchology of the Pacific Coast should be included, but the author has deemed it best to omit the most of them. Part IV of the catalogue contains an alphabetical list of miscellaneous publications. Many of them are references to early reports on gold and other minerals, including trips to the gold fields of California. All of these are not strictly geolog- ical reports, but now and then they contain valuable references to local geology. The author regrets that he has been unable to give many notes in this part, most of the works being inac- cessible. ANTHONY W. VOGDES. Fort Mason, San Francisco, Cal., September 1, 1896.

Besides these there are three or four species of bivalves and four of Gasteropods, undetermined, and one Brachipod. These fossils were collected from the cement stones and argillaceous shales ; all belong to one geological period, as the same species are found in each to some extent, though most are different.

Bull. Geol. Sci. of America, Vol. 5, pp. 485-464. April 12, 1894. The authors give the following conclusions: That the discovery of Coralliochama Orcutti, in the basal portion of the Chico beds, in the Sacramento Valley, demonstrates that the Wallala beds are only a phase of the Chico. The Shasta-Chico series is composed of the Knoxville, Horsetown, and Chico beds, which are each characterized by its own fauna. The fauna of adjacent beds, however, are so bound together by many common species that there is no palzontologic break. The Mariposa and Knoxville beds are faunally distinct and unconformable; the former Jurassic, and the latter Cretaceous. Geological sketch of Lower California; by 8S. F. Emmons and G. P. Merrill.

On page 187 the author states that although California is not classed as a lead- and zinc-producing State, it contains extensive deposits of lead-producing ores. These occur principally in Inyo and San Ber- nardino Counties, in the southwestern portion of the State. He gives the localities of the lead deppsits of San Bernardino County, near Kingston Mountain, in dolomitic limestone; near Denby, in the Old Woman Mountains. He mentions a large and extensive ledge of carbonate and galena in granite and slate formations. Other local- ities are mentioned, both in Inyo and San Bernardino Counties, on the authority of the Ninth Annual Report of the State Mineralogist ; 10th and 11th Census Reports. 82 A Bibliography of the Geology, etc., of California.

F. W. Beechey. London, 1831. 2 vols. In the volume on the zodlogy of Captain Beechey’s voyage (Lon- don, 1839, 4to), by Prof. Buckland, there are several references to the geology of the vicinity of San Francisco, prepared from the notes and collections of Lieutenant Belcher. A map of the headland, embracing San Francisco Bay, accom- panies this report. This is colored around the shores so as to indi- cate the several formations; serpentine, sandstone, and jasper rock are represented. Lieutenant Belcher collected specimens of serpen- tine on the west side of Angel Island. The occurrence of jasper rock is also noted. The author, on page 174, gives the following account of the geology of California, which was the first ever published; it is given in full, on account of its value: GEOLOGY, BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO. “The specimens collected in and near the Bay of San Francisco. consist of many varieties of common serpentine, bronzite, and asbes- tos; clay-slate and mica slate, chlorite slate, horn-stone, brown, green, and red jasper, and rolled blocks of glassy actynolite; grey sandstone, and imperfect wood-coal. The country near the port of San Fran- cisco is composed chiefly of sandstone, jasper, and serpentine. Wood- coal is found in slight seams on the north side of the entrance of the bay, and native salt near Santa Clara. Many of the summits of the hills are composed of jasper, forming enlongated ridges, of which the general direction is north and south. ‘This jasper is succeeded by sandstone, of a loose texture, not effervescing with acids, and dis- posed in every angle of stratification, occasionally it is hard and of a blue cast; it is frequently interrupted by abrupt masses of lami- nated jasper in wavy stratification. The appearance of the jasper, at its contact with the sandstone, is often very remarkable. The jasper appears not to have acted on or displaced the sandstone; its exterior, for eighteen inches or two feet, is usually rugged, and mixed with carbonate of lime, quartz, and indurated clay; its interior, however, presents a very beautiful wavy disposition of the component laminee, a remarkable example of which occurs at the Needle Rock, nearly opposite the fort. A view of it is engraved at Pl. III, Geology. It resembles an immense mass of sheets of paper, or bands of list, crumpled and contorted by lateral pressure. This contortion only occurs in the red jasper, the yellow being seldom (if at all) stratified, but generally separated by cracks into rhomboidal pieces. A mass of at least one hundred feet in thickness is beautifully stratified in short, wavy lines, opposite the fort near Punta Diavolo, and rests on sandstone. “Between Punta Boneta and Punta Diavolo the sandstone is of a bluish-grey colour, containing particles of coal. “The Island of Los Angelos is of very confused formation. Its eastern side is sandstone, with occasional jasper rocks; its western side exhibits sandstone, conglomerate, clay-slate, and serpentine; its south side, bluish earth, (apparently decomposed serpentine), and jasper beds containing red siliceous nodules, and much iron pyrites. Miscellaneous Publications. | 85 The superstratum of this island is almost entirely composed of the débris of sandstone and jasper rocks, a little slate and bluish earth, and betrays appearances of violence. It is about 900 feet above the level of the sea.—B. “The cliffs of the main land, opposite the northwest shore of the Island of Los Angelos afford masses of actynolite and beds of mica slate and talc slate. “The Island of Molate, about four miles north of Los Angelos, appears at a distance to be of a red colour, and contains much red jasper, and in a small portion of the cliff black ferruginous slate.—C. “In the Island of Yerba Buena, the perpendicular cliffs west of the bay are formed of clay-slate at their base, whilst the superincumbent rock is sandstone, for the’ most part in angular masses, and. without distinct stratification. The clay-slate is much contorted, arched, and wavy, assuming an east and west direction, and dipping chiefly to the south at a considerable angle. The sandstone shows itself in the point that forms the eastern part of the bay. “The rounded hills of the peninsula on which the Presidio of San Francisco is placed, are variously formed of sandstone, loose sand, serpentine, flinty slate, and jasper. The westernmost hill, which rises from the sea between the fort and the Punta di los Lobos, is serpentine. The north declivity, on which the quadrangle of the Presidio is built, is sandstone. To the eastward of this the serpen- tine again forms a hill of equal if not greater height. The hill to the westward of the Mission is serpentine. That which rises to the south of it exposes a bare and scarped brow of flinty slate and jasper. Rocks of a similar nature protrude through the surface of the soil of the hills which separate San Francisco from the extensive valley of Santa Clara (Las Salinas), about six leagues to the southward. These hills are called Sierras di los Samburnos, and terminate on the north in a rocky prominence, in the harbour east of the inlet of the Mission. “The range of mountains, Las Sierras del Sur, which bound the above valley to the south, expose flinty slate approaching to jasper, a little northwest of Las Pulgas, and about eighteen miles east-south- east of the Mission of San Francisco. Between the Missions of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz, these mountains form four parallel ranges, the two middle ones highest (about 1,500 feet), with steep declivities; the first two valleys are narrow; the third is more extensive, leading to the fourth range, which is considerably lower than the others. The first two ridges are composed of serpentine and a jaspery rock, the third principally of sandstone and occasionally jasper, and the fourth, that nearest Santa Cruz, entirely of sandstone, the upper part being mostly decomposed into loose sand. Petrified bones of a cylindrical form were found in this cliff of sand or loose sandstone in 1827. “Where this range approaches the road from Santa Clara to San Juan, nearly half-way, the northern declivity is covered with frag- ments of serpentine, and a little farther on is sandstone and flinty slate. “Tn the neighbourhood of the Mission of San Juan is a sandstone conglomerate, and on the road crossing from San Juan to the plain of Monterey, is sandstone. From the interior of the range between San Juan and Monterey, the inhabitants of Las Animas had brought compact basalt, containing particles of magnetic iron ore, which 4 86 A Bibliography of the Geology, etc., of California. encouraged the delusive hope of rich mines. A few miles down the — river Paxaros, from where the road to San Juan crosses it, there are thermal springs, and sulphur in their neighbourhood. On the Santa Cruz side, near the Mission, there is said to be coal, but it has never been mined. Along the east shore of the Bay of San Francisco, for thirty-five miles east-southeast, from beyond the Island of Molate, towards San Josef and Santa Clara, the harbour is bounded gener- ally by low alluvial soil, and only in a few places do low and rocky cliffs protrude. Near the Mission of San Josef there are some hot springs in the plain, surrounded by a verdant covering. Earthquakes are rather common, and one in 1806 so shook the building of the Mission of Santa Clara, that a new one was obliged to be erected. A few years ago,a boat belonging to a whale ship, when lying in several feet water, was suddenly thrown on the beach and left dry, and a vessel in the Bay of Monterey was suddenly and severely tossed about by the sea, and the shock was felt on the shore at the same time. At ten o’clock on the 26th December, 1827, a slight shock was felt at San Josef. The shocks are said to come along the coast from the northward, and when they are also felt at Monterey it is some minutes later. “One was perceived at the Presidio of San Francisco in the month of April, 1827. It continued a short time, but the shaking was so slight that it injured nothing.—C.” Betu, Witt1am A. New tracks in North America.

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

According to De Mofras, the gold of the San Francisquito Rancho was first explored by M. Charles Baric. He gives its distance in the mountains as six leagues to the northward of the Mission of San Fernando, and fifteen leagues from Los Angeles. He further states: “This vein has an extent of six leagues, following the direction of the ravine where it issituated. The gold is found near the surface of the soil, and some pieces weighed two or three drachms.” This descrip- tion would lead one to the opinion that the deposit was a placer one and not a vein, although he uses the word jfilon. According to De Mofras, silver ores occur about two leagues north- west of Cahuenga Rancho, and were not worked for want of mercury. He further observes that the Indians often bring in from the moun- tains, grains of copper, fragments of opal, and pieces of galena. Mines of gold and silver are also said to have been found about fourteen leagues from San Diego. They were once worked by a man from Guanajuata. There is a notice of the bitumen near Los Angeles on p. 337, vol. 2. The author states: “Two leagues to the southeast of Los Angeles there are four great sources of asphaltum, situated on a level with the earth in a vast prairie. These springs open in the middle of little pools of cold water, while the bitumen possesses a higher tem- perature. This water has a mineral taste, which, however, does not prevent animals from drinking it. At sunrise the orifices of these springs are covered by enormous bubbles of asphaltum, often being more than a yard high, and looking like soap bubbles.” Motiror, A. P. Essay on California gold.

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