498 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [May 16, 



knowledge will admit, I have carefully studied all the published 

 documents and the geological collections relating to the subject to 

 which I have been able to obtain access. And I have myself re- 

 sided for many years in various parts of the territory, which, I may 

 add, I have traversed from one extremity to the other, — from the 

 borders of the United States to the Arctic Ocean in one direction, and 

 from the frontiers of Russian America to Hudson's Bay in the other. 

 The titles of the publications to which I have referred are indicated 

 below, and may be considered as presenting a bibliographical view of 

 what is known of the geology of this part of America.
