BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



The bibliography of coal, even though limited to the United State?, would be enor- 

 mous. In all cases reference should be made to the publications of the various State 

 surveys, where such have existed. The few titles here given are of articles of general 

 interest' and, as a rule, not relating to the coals of one particular locality alone.
