Administration. — Under the act of May 12, Prof. John C. Smock 

 was appointed State geologist, in which capacity he continued to 

 serve until July 1, 1901. The assistants during 1890 were F. L. Nason 

 and I. S. Upson, as before, and C. W. Coman. In 1891 and 1892 the 

 force of assistants consisted of Messrs. Upson, Vermeule, and Coman, 

 with the addition of Prof. R. D. Salisbury. During 1893 and 1894 

 the number was reduced to Upson and Salisbury, though the latter 

 was assisted by H. B. Kiimmel, Charles E. Peet, and G. N. Knapp. 

 A. H. Chester served as chemist to the survey. In 1895 Lewis Wool- 

 man took charge of investigations relative to artesian wells. The 

 force thus constituted served until 1898, when Gilford Pinchot was 

 added as forester. In 1889 Mr. Kiimmel, hitherto Professor Salis- 

 bury's assistant, was appointed on the survey staif, and Mr. Stuart 

 Weller Avas placed in charge of the paleozoic investigations. Profes- 

 sor Smock continued as State geologist until tTuly 1, 1901, when he 

 resigned and was succeeded by PTenry B. Kiimmel. 



Results. — The results of the various surA^eys as detailed in the 

 final and special reports, are as follows : 



The work of the early surveys was chiefly economic and the atten- 

 tion and effort were concentrated on the preparation of a report 

 Tspon the geology and a geological map of the State. These were 

 published in 1868. This report Avas in great demand, as it gave the
