The Professional Papers, Bulletins, and Water-Supply Papers treat of a variety of subjects, and 

 the total number issued is large. They have therefore been classified into the following series: A. 

 Economic geology; B, Descriptive geology; C, Systematic geology and paleontology; D, Petrography 

 and mineralogy; E, Chemistry and physics; F, Geography; G, Miscellaneous; H, Forestry; I, Irriga- 

 tion; J, Water storage; K, Pumping water; L, Quality of water; M, General hydrographic investiga- 

 tions; N, Water power; O, Underground waters; P, Hydrographic progress reports. This paper 

 is the fifty-sixth in Series A, and the sixty-fifth in Series B, the complete lists of which follow.
