NORTH CAROLINA GEOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC SURVEY JOSEPH HYDE PRATT, STATE GEOLOGIST BULLETIN NO. 18 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAROLINA GEOLOGY, MINERALOGY AND GEOGRAPHY WITH A LIST OF MAPS BY FRANCIS BAKER LANEY, PH. D. Assistant Curator of Geology in the U. S. National Museum LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL CHAPEL HILL, N. C., September 1, 1909. To His Excellency, HON. W. W. KITCHIN, Governor of North Carolina. Sir.-I have the honor to submit for publication as Bulletin 18 of the reports of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey, a bibliography of North Carolina Geology, Mineralogy, and Geography, with a list of maps which has been prepared by Dr. Francis B. Laney, Assistant Curator of Geology, United States National Museum, and Miss Katharine Hill Wood, under the supervision of the State Geologist. This Bulletin, by giving references to practically all articles published relating to the subjects mentioned above, will be of very great assistance to all students and investigators who are working on these or allied subjects. Yours very respectfully, JOSEPH HYDE PRATT, INTRODUCTION The following bibliography relating to North Carolina geology, mineralogy, geography and allied subjects, as paleontology, meteorology, petrology, etc., has been made just as complete as possible, although there are undoubtedly certain references left out that should be included. Over 200 periodicals have been examined, and in most cases complete files of these have been available. This list is given at the end of the bibliography, and those where complete files were not available are marked with an asterisk. Some articles relating to the subjects included in this bibliography were published privately, and certain of these have probably been omitted, as no record of them could be found in the libraries examined. The following libraries were visited: Yale University Library, New Haven, Connecticut; Library of Congress, United States Geological Survey, U. S. National Museum, Coast and Geodetic Survey, Department of Agriculture, and War Department Libraries, Washington, D. C.; Johns Hopkins University and Peabody Institute Libraries, Baltimore, Md.; Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia; North Carolina State Library, Raleigh, North Carolina; the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey, the University of North Carolina and the Kemp P. Battle Libraries, Chapel Hill, N. C.; Library of Stephen B. Weeks, of Trinity and Greensboro, North Carolina. To the librarians of all these libraries and to Mr. Stephen B. Weeks, the Geological Survey wishes to extend its sincere thanks for the many courtesies and personal assistance that was extended to those who were looking up the references. In the preparation of this bibliography the authors have been assisted by Miss Alice A. Wood, formerly of Yale University Library, and Professor L. C. Glenn, of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, to whom acknowledgments are due. The Bulletin is divided into two parts; part one containing the bibliography, and part two containing a list of maps relating to North Carolina. Any one making use of this bibliography who finds any errors in the references, or who knows of articles not included in the bibliography, will confer a favor upon the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey if they will note these errors and omissions, and send notice of same to the State Geologist.
