Summary of Previous Work. — An account of new observations 

 made in such a district as that of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, 

 already well studied by the explorers of our western surveys, naturally 

 lavs more emphasis on novel interpretations of former observations or 

 on subordinate matters newly observed, than on the great structural 

 features of the region or on the principal events of its history. But 

 whatever of novelty is now to be gleaned in that marvellous region must 

 rest so immediately on the work that has been already done there that 

 1 wish at the outset to express the great indebtedness that all of our 

 party felt to the pioneer work of Newberry, Powell, Gilbert, Dutton, 

 and Holmes, whose labors have transformed a desert wilderness into 

 classic ground for the geologist, and whose reports are quoted whenever 

 it is desired to illustrate all that is marvellous in the way of displace- 



1 Trumbull spring is on the slope of the mountain several hundred feet above 

 its base : at the time of our visit it gave very little water. The place is not to be 

 recommended as a camping ground. Oak spring, four miles further south, is 

 much better.
