The excellent tables accompanying this memoir indicate the 

 advances made, from the time of Honeyman's first survey in 1864, 

 by Dawson (1868-1891), Fletcher (1886), Ami (1901), and Twenhofel 

 (1901). 



Williams introduces a few new formational names, and employs 

 the terms Pennsylvanian and Mississippian. The body of the report 

 is admirable in emphasizing type fossils and shows the influence of 

 Professor Schuchert of Yale in the attention paid to the conditions 

 of sedimentation. The more general of Williams' tables is given 

 below (in part) to indicate our present view of the Palaeozoic sequence 

 in this district.
