are successive limestones and shales, the whole aggregating a total 
thickness of 2750 feet. But the author states (p. 272) that probably 
no one place could be found where the thickness would be quite so 
much. 
Plate XX. represents this column. Plate XXI. is a semi-perspec- 
tive map of the east end of the state, on which is shown outcroppings 
of the principal limestone formations. 
The author divides the Kansas Coal Measures, in the second article, 
into two divisions, the Upper and the Lower, with the top of the 
Pleasanton shales serving for the division line. In the last article, the 
geologic and geographic position of each of the principal coal beds is 
given, with tables of analyses of the coals by Professor Bailey, and of 
the steam heating properties by Professor Blake. 
Annual Report of the State Geologist of New Jersey, for 1894. Part I. 
Surface Geology: 149 pp.and 4 plates. By ROLLIN D. SALIsBury. 
The titles of the several sections of the report are as follows: 
Sec. I. General Outline Sketch of the Drift Deposits of New Jersey 
North of the Moraine; Sec. II. The Glacial Strize of New Jersey (with 
map); Sec. III. Changes in Drainage Effected by the Drift; Sec. IV. 
Postglacial Changes in Drift Area; Sec. V. Beacon Hill Formation ; 
Sec. VI. Pensauken Formation; Sec. VII. Jamesburg Formation ; 
Sec. VIII. Post-Jamesburg Formations; Sec. 1X. Road Material; Sec. 
X. Explanation of Map of Surface Formations of Sheet 6, New Jersey 
Atlas. 
In Section I., in addition to the matters implied in the title, 
details and sections (Pl. 1) are given, showing the conditions under 
which the stratified drift of the valleys was deposited, and many 
details concerning the effect of stagnant ice on drift accumulations. 
In Section III., it is represented that while the ice effected many 
minor changes in the drainage in New Jersey, there were few of great 
extent outside the basin of the Passaic, and possibly the Raritan. The 
lakes of the state are classified with reference to the origin of their 
basins. In Section IV., emphasis is laid upon the trivial amount of 
erosion suffered by the northern part of the state since the drift was 
deposited. In Section V., the conclusion is reached that the Beacon 
Hill formation is of Miocene age; in Section VI., that the Pensauken 
is the equivalent of the Lafayette; and in Section VII., that the
