PLANS FOR FUTURE WORK 

 /. Geology 



It may be said in general that there is need of more detailed 

 study in most parts of the state than has yet been accomplished. 

 The area of the state most thoroughly studied as regards the bed 

 rocks is that of the Triassic formation. The area where detailed 

 work is most lacking as yet is that of the eastern crystallines. 

 The geological work which has been done in much of eastern 

 Connecticut amounts to little more than a reconnoissance. The 

 Manual of Geology, and the Geological Map by which it is sup- 

 plemented, bear most eminently the character not of final reports, 

 but of reports of progress. Their publication was amply justified 

 by the need, on the part of teachers and others, for publications 

 which would set forth in convenient and intelligible form our 

 present knowledge of the geology of the state. But they certainly 

 will require very much of correction in detail. It is, moreover, 

 not unlikely that more detailed study will bring to light facts 

 which will lead to very important changes in the general con- 

 ception of the geological history which is recorded in our rocks. 



The necessity for more detailed study in various parts of the 

 state is even greater in regard to surface geology than in regard 

 to the geology of the underlying rocks. Professor Gregory and 

 Drs. Gulliver, Ward, and Harvey have made a beginning of such
