of forest lands other than topographic maps 

 was transferred to the Bureau of Forestry 

 prior to July 1, 1906. The making of the 

 topographic maps of the reserves which are 

 part of the area covered by the general topo- 

 graphic map of the United States will be con- 

 tinued by the survey, and the maps will be 

 available for engineers, geologists, etc. 



The report also contains the interesting 

 information that the great Reclamation (Irri- 

 gation) Service was severed from the Geolog- 

 ical Survey on July 1, 1906, except that the 

 director of the survey continued to act as 

 director of that service. The report further 

 states that it is probable that an entire separa- 

 tion will occur at an early date, and we learn 

 informally that all connection wiU be termi- 

 nated between the two organizations before the 

 close of the present fiscal year. Public policy 

 demanded that the Eeclamation Service should 

 be organized under some strong existing bu- 

 reau. This was done, and the service, now 

 well organized, will soon be made an inde- 

 pendent bureau. 



Eighty-one members of fifty-one educational 

 institutions in the United States were con- 

 nected with the work of the survey in 1906, 

 and over $200,000 was expended in this co- 

 operative work. 



The amount of work done for the survey by 

 men connected with universities, colleges and 

 technical schools was not proportionately as 

 large as in the first decade of the existence of 

 the survey (1880-90), a condition explained 

 by the fact that it is the men who have been 

 trained at the univei-sities, colleges and tech- 

 nical schools who are now members of the 

 permanent staff of the survey. 



The publications of the survey are distrib- 

 uted without cost to 426 educational institu- 

 tions in the United States. Of this number 

 120 received the maps, folios and topographic 

 sheets.
