TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 261 



A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF KANSAS GEOLOGY, 



WITH SOME ANNOTATIONS. 



BY ROBERT HAY. 



INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 

 When the idea of compiling this bibliography was becoming an intention, I 

 remember that Capt. Vogdes, of the Fifth U. S. Artillery, had told me that he 

 was collecting books on Kansas geology, and 1 therefore wrote asking him to 

 assist by giving me a list of the books he had, or knew about, bearing on the 

 subject. He very kindly complied and sent me a list of no less than seventy 

 titles, including nearly all the earlier works, and forming a very good start for 

 my somewhat lengthy talk. In the progress of the work I have had valuable 

 assistance from the librarians of the Academy of Science, State Historical So- 

 ciety, the State Library, and the State University, as well as from my honored 

 friend, Mrs. Mudge of Manhattart. It is possible that some important papers 

 may have escaped me, and I have purposely omitted newspaper articles, al- 

 though there are some of an interesting character. The order is that of Capt. 

 Vogdes's list. First come U. S. Government publications; then Kansas offi- 

 cial papers, and afterward reports of other states and societies, miscellaneous 

 magazines, etc. Text-books and maps arc at the end. I have thought it would 

 aid future investigators if they knew where, in Kansas, the books and pam- 

 phlets named might be consulted, and have therefore indicated their presence 

 in the Academy library by the letter A; in the Historical Society by H; State 

 Library by the letter S; and in the State University by U. The letter V indi- 

 cates the list of Capt. Vogdes. It is hoped the compilation will serve as a 

 valuable check-list, and I shall be obliged if friends will communicate to me 

 additional titles for future publication.
