1849. White, George. Statistics of the State of Georgia. 624 + 77 pp. 

 and map. Savannah. 



1855. White, George. Historical Collections of Georgia. 745 pp 

 New York. 

 The most valuable features of these two works are the detailed descrip- 

 tions of the counties. The supplement of the former contains 

 among other things an alleged state flora, but as no localities are 

 given for any of the species it has no obvious connection with that 

 part of the state under consideration. 



1876. Janes, Thomas P. Handbook of Georgia, vii + 256 pp. and map. 



Atlanta (published by the state agricultural department). 

 A descriptive work, somewhat similar in scope to the preceding. Con- 

 tains a list of woody plants, prepared by State Geologist George 

 Little, but there is no evidence that any of these were observed in the 

 Altamaha Grit region. 



1881. Hilgard, E. W. The later Tertiary of the Gulf of Mexico. Am. 

 Jour. Sci. III. 22:58-65. pi. j (map). 

 The map shows an area of "Miocene (?) sandstone" in Georgia, corres- 

 ponding approximately with the present known area of the Altamaha 

 Grit, but there is no reference to it in the text. It was probably 

 inserted on the authority of Dr. Loughridge (see next title). 



1884. Loughridge, R. H. Report on the cotton production of the state 

 of Georgia. Tenth Census U. S., 6:259-450. Map. 



A valuable compendium of the geological, geographical, and agricultural 

 features of the state, which has scarcely been surpassed since. The 

 boundaries of the Altamaha Grit are located fairly accurately, ex- 

 cept toward the west, and some outcrops of the rock are described. 

 A bottomless "lime-sink" (see page 24 of this work) is mentioned 

 in the description of Bulloch County. 



1885. Henderson, J. T. The Commonwealth of Georgia, pp. i-viii, 

 3-184, 184a, 184b, 185-379. 15 colored double-page maps and 13 

 text figures. Atlanta. (Constitutes part 2 of vol. 11 of Publications 

 of Georgia Department of Agriculture.) 



This also contains many notes on the geology, geography, and agri- 

 culture of the state, largely copied from the preceding. 



1892. Dall, W. H., & Harris, G. D. Correlation papers. — Neocene. 

 Bull. 84, U. S. Geol. Surv. 



Altamaha Grit described on pages 81 and 82, with references to some 

 previous literature on the subject. 



1893. Foerste, Aug. F. Studies on the Chipola Miocene of Bainbridge, 

 Georgia, and of Alum Bluff, Florida, with an attempt at correlation 

 of certain Grand Gulf Group beds with marine Miocene beds eastward. 

 Am. Jour. Sci. III. 46:244-254. Oct. 1893.
