EDITORIAL. 
ProFessor A. B. WILLMOTT, in a paper upon ‘“ The Nomen- 
clature of the Lake Superior Formations,” found in the present 
number of this JOURNAL, proposes several radical changes from 
the succession as held by those who have for many years labo- 
riously studied this region. At the present time I shall not dis- 
cuss Professor Willmott’s proposals. I merely wish to state 
that the evidence presented for them appears to me wholly 
inadequate, and I therefore record my dissent. At a later time 
I shall take up the modifications of the nomenclature of the 
Lake Superior Region which seem to me to follow from the 
recent work of the officers of the United States Geological 
Survey.
