employed. In that year A. E. Seaman, who had previously served 

 as topographer and woodsman, became assistant geologist, and in 

 1888 A. C. Lane was added to the force as petrographer. In 1890 

 the force was further increased by the addition of H. B. Patton, and 

 in 1891 by L. L. Hubbard, all of the last three being petrographers 

 with European training. 



The expenses under Wadsworth's administration are given with 

 others on page 238. 



Doctor Wadsworth was succeeded in the oiEce of State geologist by 

 Lucius L. Hubbard, who held the position until 1899, when he re- 

 signed, to be succeeded in his turn by A. C. Lane. Both of the last 

 named, it will be noted, had served as petrographers and assistant 

 geologists under Doctor Wadsworth. 



Salaries and expenses. — The salaries of the State geologist and 

 others of the survey were by law left discretionary with the board 

 of directors, the State geologist himself, up to 1885, receiving $2,000 

 n year, the annual appropriation being $8,000 a j^ear, with the ex- 

 pectation that the expense of publication would be provided for by 

 special appropriation. As has been noted, this was not, however, 

 in all cases called for. The following table' shows the total appro- 

 priations and expenditures up to November, 1892.
