diatcly. Arrangements have also been made for editing and issuing the 

 volume of conchology, and a beginning made on the mammals. 



The Bay Map in two sheets, as mentioned above, has been in the 

 engraver's hands for more than a year, and is supposed to be on its way 

 out to California. It is intended to be sold separately, in various styles, 

 and also to form one of the series in the volume of maps, sections, and 

 illustrations. 



Both maps for the Yosemite Book are drawn, and one is engraved. 

 The illustrations are also prepared, and the work can go to press at an 

 early day. 



The finished sheet of the Central California Map will soon be sent to 

 the engraver. 



The preparation of the first volume of the Economical Geology will be 

 commenced as soon as favorable action has been had by the Legislature 

 on the question of the continuance of the survey. 



The plan of the "Yosemite Book/' in its two editions of the "Guide 

 Book " and " Gift Book/' will be found stated at length in the report of 

 the Yosemite Commissioners. It is intended that the " Gift Book" shall 

 be as elegant a volume as has ever been published in this country. 



10. ACCOUNTS AND EXPENDITURES. 



The accounts of the survey, and a complete statement of all expendi 

 tures in the different departments, will be submitted at an early date to 

 the committee of the Legislature to which the subject of the geological 

 survey may be referred. 



It may be stated, however, that our expenditures have overrun the 

 appropriation made for the survey. At the end of the current year I 

 shall have expended about eight thousand five hundred dollars more than 

 the total appropriation, as will be seen from the following concise state 

 ment :

$8,469 77 



Allowing that all the fieldwork is discontinued, and nothing done for 

 the next six months except to plot and write up the work already on 

 hand, it will require at least six thousand five hundred dollars to con 

 tinue the survey to the end of the current fiscal year, and I have to ask, 



#See Report of the Committee on Mines and Mining in the Assembly to the last Legislature, in 

 which our expenditures are tabulated in full to December thirty-first, eighteen hundred and 

 sixty-five.
