GEOLOGY OP THE LAKE CLEAR REGION 



(Parts of St Regis and Saranac quadrangles) 

 BY HAROLD L. ALLING 



Preface 



The chief purpose of this paper is to outline in popular language 

 the geological history of the region around Lake Clear, Franklin 

 county, N. Y. In order to do so, the general geology of the Adiron- 

 dack mountains as a whole has been discussed, in the course of which 

 many terms that may be new to the reader have been used, but in 

 each case they are defined or explained at the point of introduction 

 or shortly afterwards. 



The reader's attention is called to the topographic maps prepared 

 and for sale by the United States Geological Survey, which can be 

 secured from the Director of the United States Geological Survey, 

 Washington, D. Q., at 10 cents each. For naturalists, sportsmen, 

 campers and trampers they are almost indispensable. The maps 

 for this area are known as the "St Regis quadrangle " and the 

 " Saranac Lake quadrangle." The State also offers for sale a 

 series of bulletins that deal with the geology of the Adirondacks, 

 ranging from 20 cents to $1 each. A list of the bulletins can be 

 secured by writing the New York State Museum, Albany, N. Y. 

 The following bulletins deal more or less directly with the area 

 under consideration:
