on under Doctor Williams, and after the year 1876 no further sup- 

 port appears to have been extended to the work by the State. 



Expenses. — The total appropriations for the surveys of 1872-1874 

 amounted to $G0,000 and an additional $19,320 for printing. 



Publications. — Up to the time of Mr. Pumpelly's appointment very 

 little had been made public of the results of the surveys, and the 

 changes of management had necessarily retarded and weakened the 

 work. Under Pumpelly's management two reports were issued, both 

 in 1873, one of 323 pages, consisting entirely of county reports, and 

 the other of 655 pages, devoted largely to economic subjects. But 

 one report was issued by the Broadhead survey — this a large octavo 

 of over 700 pages, transmitted in August, 1874. Under Doctor 

 Williams one report — a small octavo of about 200 pages — was issued. 

 The cost of printing these reports is given in the final summation of 

 expenses at the end of this article. 



FOURTH SURVEY UNDER ARTHUR WINSLOW, C. R. KEYES, AND OTHERS, 



1889-1000. 



Organization. — After the suspension of the survey under Professor 

 Williams no public geological work was conducted until the year 

 1884, when topographic work was begun in the State by the United 

 States Geological Survey. This was continued until July, 1889, up 

 to which time about one-third of the State was mapped on sheets 

 of a scale of 2 miles to the inch and with contour intervals of 50 feet. 

 In addition, W. J. McGee was detailed in 1887 by the national survey 

 to make a brief study of the geology of a portion of Macon County. 



The law of May 13, 1889, was evidently framed upon the laws of 

 the preceding survey, though it differed somewhat in detail. The 

 most noticeable differences are the absence of a requirement to col- 

 lect specimens in triplicate and of a clause requiring county maps 

 and reports to be prepared. The State geologist was, however, di- 

 rected to complete any detail maps and reports of counties or dis- 

 tricts already prepared. The following is a transcript of this law : 



An act to provide for n biirrnu of geology and mines to complete geological and mlner- 

 alogical survey of the State of Missouri, 



Be it enacted by the General Asaembhj of the State of Missouri, as follows: 

 Section 1. There is hereby created and established a bureau of "geology and 

 mines" for the State of Missouri, which shall be under the direction and in 

 charge of a board of managers, which shall consist of the governor (who shall 

 be ex officio president of the board) and four citizens from the State at large, 

 who shall be appointed by the governor, by and with the consent of the senate, 

 and shall hold their office for a term of four years.
