Structural Geology. 



Many of the most prominent geologists and educators of the 

 United ^--tates have testified to toe u efalness in imparting the 

 facts and phenomena of tbis acieuce of the 



Ives Strata Map, 



Which graphically exhibits superposition, denudation, and out- 

 crop of strata, with the phenomena of escarpments, outliers, 

 inliers, dip, strike, conformability, etc., while the cards may be 

 bent to show synclinal or a iticlinal folds. 



A copy having been purchased for use in Johns Hopkins Uni- 

 versity, President D. C. Oilman wrote to the author: "Wherever 

 American geology ia taught your map should be part of the ap- 

 paratus." 



Another having been purchased by Vassar College, Prof. Wm. 



B. Dwight wTit'^s ; "It represents visually, and far more vividly 

 than words can do it, the cruslal development of a large part of 

 the United States through the typical ages of geological history." 



It consists of a series of ten Superposed Maps, representing the 

 QeoJogiial Systems of the country, colored as recommended by 

 the International Congress of Geologists, portions being cut away 

 agreeably with the distribution of the peveral systems in nature. 

 The Cardboard Maps are hinged together to admit of examina- 

 tion in detail, wtiile the Archean foundation and the superposed 

 strata are embossed so as to bring all to a plane surface. 



These Maps may be had in atlas form, handsomely half bound 

 in morocco, with gold lines and lettering; or n ounted under 

 glazed oak frame, as shown in illustration. The pnce, in either 

 form, is $17.50, and the size over frame Is 30" x 2-1". 



The method of construction was invented, and the scientific 

 data have been most carefully compiled from government and 

 other reliable sources of information, by James T. B. Ives, F.G.S. 



The Topography of the 

 United States 



T.s impressively exhibited by a novel combination of the two 

 methods commonly employed, viz.: The use of distinctive colors 

 to represent snccessive levels, and actual embossing, in the 



Ives Altitude Map. 



This is an original device by the same inventor and baaed like 

 the Strata Map upon data of undoubted authority. 



In reference to the nsefulness of this man, as well as the Strata 

 Map, the author has received the following, among other testi- 

 monials: 



Price, S1T.50. 



Prof. E. D. Cope, of the University of Pennsylvania, writes: 

 "Useful to the student of topography and geology. The map 

 ii dicating elevations in relief is an impor ant aid to the strati- 

 graphic map ; both together elucidate the structure to the eye of 

 the student." 



President J. E. Talmage, of the University of Utah, writes : " I 

 consider your ' Strata and Altitude Maps,' whicOi I have the pleas, 

 nre of examining with care, and of which I have purchased cop- 

 ies, excellent aids for class instruction. * * * Your plan is surely 

 an excellent one and the Maps will doubtless be appreciated by 

 all active teachers of geology." 



Diploma and medal awarded for this also at the World's Colum- 

 bian Exposition. It is beautifully got en up, varnished and 

 framedin oak. Light and unbreakable. Size,3B"x23''.
