that I was in any way responsible for it, even 

 though lie had previously written, "I do not 

 wish to detract one iota from the work or to de- 

 prive you of any credit on account of changes 

 which may be made. " He wrote me October 30, 

 1895, stating that the publication was complete, 

 and saying : " Owing to your objections regard- 

 ing the introductory section, I thought it best not 

 to impose its authorship on you and conse- 

 quently I have assumed the responsibility of 

 this section, as it in no way covers the ground of 

 your first two chapters, except in the case of one or 

 two paragraphs. You can, of course, publish 

 these elsewhere if you so desire." (Italics are 

 mine.) 



Very naturally I felt that this was a bold case 

 of plagiarism, and wrote him on the subject 

 November 14th, in reply to which he wrote me 

 on the 15th : ' ' Altogether there are two and a 

 half or three pages which are taken from you, 

 as I have already stated" (earlier in this 

 letter). How the ' one or two paragraphs 



of October 80th could grow to ' two and a half or 

 three pages ' by November 15th, and this after 

 the publication was complete, is no more mys- 

 terious than other incidents which are of no in- 

 terest to the public. In the same letter of 

 November 15th, he wrote : ' ' More than one-half 

 of that section over which I ' hoisted ' my name 

 was written at the request of Mr. Winslow for 

 my chapter on Missouri stratigraphy to accom- 

 pany the Paleontology report, and this more 

 than three years ago. * * ^- . At least one- 

 fourth was written for Maryland granites at 

 Baltimore nearly five years ago. * * *. This 

 matter was taken bodily with no changes what- 

 ever except several locality names. ' ' How this 

 corresponds with his statement of September 

 23, 1894, regarding ' new material ' the reader 

 can judge. 



In order to show those interested the relation 

 between my original manuscript and the part 

 with his name to it, the following quotations are 

 made, portions in brackets being my comments.

 Geographical Distribution. 

 The massive crystalline rooks of Missouri are con- 

 fined to the southeastern part of the State. They oo- 

 cui in irregular masses and isolated hills extending 

 over an area 70 miles square, ■which is widely known 

 as the Iron Mountain country. 



(Then follow ten lines of dissimilar matter. ) 

 Pilot Knob is approximately the center of the crys- 

 talline district. For a distance of perh aps a dozen 

 miles in all directions from this point, the massive 

 crystallines form the greater portion of the surface 

 rook ; while in an easterly direction they are practi- 

 cally continuous for more than twice as far. 



(Which reaches Knob Lick and Frederioktown. ) 

 Beyond the large central field the exposures gradu- 

 ally become less and less frequent. To the north 

 they do not reach much beyond Bismarck. North- 

 eastward they are found in in Ste. Genevieve county, 

 30 miles from Pilot Knob. On the east, hills of simi- 

 lar rook are abundant as far as Castor Creek. To the 

 south they stretch away in large masses for many 

 miles, with occasional outcrops as far as the boundary 

 line of Butler county. To the southwest, they ex- 

 tend into Shannon county, and perhaps even beyond.

GEOGRAPHY OF THE CRYSTALLINE ROCKS. 

 a. Boundaries. 



The crystalline rooks of Missouri are irregularly 

 distributed over an area nearly seventy miles square. 

 The central portion of the area is in the vicinity of 

 Pilot Knob. Here for a distance of from six to ten 

 miles in all directions the Archsean rocks cover the 

 greater portion of the surface, and to the east they 

 are almost continuous for more than twenty miles, 

 reaching as far as Knob Lick and Frederioktown. 



Beyond this central area the crystalline exposures 

 continuously become smaller and farther apart. To 

 the north they reach beyond Bismarck, into township 

 36 N. On the northeast they are found in Ste. Gene- 

 vieve county nearly thirty miles from Pilot Knob. 

 On the east porphyry and granite hills are abundant 

 as far as range 8 east, or as far as to Castor creek. 

 To the south occasional exposures may be observed as 

 far as township 27 N. 



(Which is near the boundary of Butler county. ) 



To the southwest they extend into Shannon county, 

 and even then it is quite probable the limit is not 

 reached. * * *. To the west the area reaches in al- 

 most unbroken outlines to the East Fork of Black 

 River, is quite prevalent to the Middle Fork, and 

 numerous scattered hills have been found beyond; 

 while to the northwest porphyry hills are found as 

 far as Little Pilot Knob, * * in Washington county.
