  Forty-seventh 
  Report 
  on 
  the 
  

  

  first 
  of 
  July. 
  Mr. 
  Dart 
  on 
  will 
  retain 
  his 
  position 
  as 
  assistant 
  on 
  

   the 
  United 
  states 
  Geological 
  Survey, 
  his 
  salary 
  being 
  paid 
  at 
  

   Washington, 
  while 
  we 
  incur 
  only 
  his 
  traveling 
  and 
  field 
  expenses. 
  

  

  Major 
  Powell 
  has 
  likewise 
  directed 
  Prof. 
  W. 
  B. 
  D 
  wight, 
  of 
  

   Yassar 
  College, 
  to 
  turn 
  over 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  his 
  work, 
  which 
  have 
  

   been 
  made 
  under 
  the 
  auspices 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  Geological 
  

   Survey 
  for 
  some 
  years 
  past, 
  for 
  use 
  in 
  our 
  geologic 
  map. 
  

  

  Prof. 
  Kemp, 
  of 
  Columbia 
  College, 
  who 
  had 
  already 
  been 
  

   working 
  in 
  Essex 
  county, 
  has 
  agreed 
  to 
  work 
  up 
  that 
  portion 
  of 
  

   country 
  and 
  prepare 
  it 
  for 
  the 
  geologic 
  map 
  by 
  being 
  paid 
  field 
  

   expenses 
  for 
  himself 
  and 
  assistants. 
  

  

  Prof. 
  C. 
  H. 
  Smyth, 
  of 
  Hamilton 
  College, 
  will 
  also 
  work 
  out 
  

   the 
  Huronian 
  and 
  the 
  hematite 
  areas 
  in 
  St. 
  Lawrence 
  and 
  

   Jefferson 
  counties. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  F. 
  A. 
  Pandall 
  is 
  working 
  in 
  the 
  southwestern 
  counties 
  in 
  

   tracing 
  the 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  carboniferous 
  rocks 
  of 
  Penn- 
  

   sylvania 
  into 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  New 
  York, 
  and 
  expects 
  to 
  complete 
  

   his 
  work 
  before 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  season. 
  

  

  No 
  results 
  of 
  field 
  work 
  upon 
  the 
  geologic 
  map, 
  for 
  1893, 
  can 
  

   be 
  communicated 
  at 
  this 
  time, 
  as 
  every 
  one 
  engaged 
  upon 
  the 
  

   work 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  field. 
  

  

  Prof. 
  J. 
  M. 
  Clarke 
  will 
  spend 
  his 
  vacation 
  in 
  the 
  field 
  in 
  

   central 
  and 
  western 
  New 
  York 
  in 
  tracing 
  the 
  continuation 
  of 
  

   the 
  Catskill 
  and 
  Oneonta 
  sandstones, 
  and 
  their 
  mergence 
  into 
  the 
  

   Portage 
  and 
  Chemung 
  groups, 
  with 
  a 
  view 
  to 
  determining 
  the 
  

   limits 
  between 
  these 
  formations. 
  This 
  work 
  can 
  only 
  be 
  done 
  

   by 
  a 
  man 
  having 
  acquaintance 
  with 
  fossils. 
  

  

  I 
  expect 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  the 
  field 
  during 
  the 
  early 
  part 
  of 
  July 
  and 
  

   most 
  of 
  the 
  time 
  after 
  the 
  month 
  of 
  August 
  ; 
  joining 
  Mr. 
  Darton 
  

   in 
  the 
  first 
  place 
  in 
  w 
  T 
  ork 
  along' 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  Valley; 
  thence 
  

   northward 
  through 
  Saratoga 
  and 
  Washington 
  counties. 
  At 
  a 
  

   later 
  date 
  I 
  shall 
  join 
  him 
  in 
  the 
  w^ork 
  in 
  Oneida, 
  Lewis 
  and 
  

   Jefferson 
  counties, 
  and 
  thence 
  to 
  Allegany, 
  Cattaraugus 
  and 
  

   Chautauqua 
  counties 
  to 
  verify 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Randall. 
  I 
  expect 
  

   also 
  to 
  join 
  Prof. 
  D 
  wight 
  in 
  Dutchess 
  county, 
  and 
  we 
  will 
  extend 
  

   our 
  observations 
  into 
  Columbia 
  county, 
  of 
  which 
  we 
  have 
  com- 
  

   paratively 
  little 
  critical 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  geologic 
  structure.
