TOTALS OF BRANNER SURVEYS. 



I Doctor Branner writes that but .?10,700 of this amount was expended, the remainin<; 

 $4.:'.00 being carried over to the next survey. For the latter $17,380 was appropriated, 

 but $19,028 o-xpended. The extra $2,242 vvas presumably paid from the .sum carried over 

 as above. 



' As given in Professor Branuer's history of the Arkansas Survey, in the aeconrii 

 volume of the Journal of Geolojjy for 1894. 



■''About that amount. 



Engraving, printing, and binding are not included in the total for 

 the period 1887-1895. These items and the cost of fuel, lights, sta- 

 tionery, and postage would probably bring the total expenditures of 

 tlie Branner survey up to about $120,000, and the total cost of all the 

 State geological surveys up to $171,428. 



Concerning the voluines mentioned as in preparation. Professor 

 Branner furnishes the following information : 



1. The Zinc and Lead Re.£;ion.s of North Arkansas, by J. C. Branuer. Pp. 

 xiv+39.j and uthi.s. Little Rock, 1900. (This was finally called a part of the 

 report for 1892, because the active work was supposed to have ended in 1S02.) 



2. Report on the Coal Deposits of Arkansas, by Arthur Winslow, J. C. 

 Branner, and others. This report was prepared, but no appropriation was ever 

 made for publishing It. After much dolay I Anally asked the Uuited States 

 Geological Survey to publish it. The subsequent history appeared in Scieuce, 

 October 20, 1!)0G, volume 24, pages o32-5;57. and December 7, 1906, volume 24. 

 pages 722-728. * * * The results of subsequent \vork by members of the 

 United States (Jeologioal Survey staff appeared as Bulletin 326. My own raore 

 detailed rei)ort with large scale maps rem.-nns unpublished. 



3. Report on the Clays, Kaolins, and Bauxites, by J. C. Branner. The publi- 

 cation of this report was never provided for by the State. Part of it was pub- 

 lislied by the United States Geological Survey as Bulletin 351. 



4. The Geology of the Lower or Barren Coal Measures of Arkansas, by J. C. 

 Branner, J. H. Means, and G. H. Ashley. This report was likewise never pro- 

 vided for. Dr. Ashley'.s part on the region south of the novacnlite area I had
