of Nebraska, Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Colorado, and it is but 
natural that I should read with great care and interest a publi- 
cation on the geology of any portion of that country emanating 
from any other source. It was on this account that an official . 
report on the Geology of Kansas by Prof. Swallow was hailed . 
with pleasure. In the summer of 1858 Mr. Meek and the wri- _ 
ter made a careful examination of a large portion of Kansas 
from Leavenworth City westward to Smoky Hill, and the results 
of that exploration were published in the Proceedings of the © 
emy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia, Jan. 1859. In ~ 
that paper opinions were advanced in regard to the relations of © 
the Permian to the Carboniferous rocks which were accepted by 
most of the geologists in this country and in Europe. In the 
report of Prof. Swallow, however, opinions have been expressed _ 
on some points opposite to those in the paper above referred to, 
and it is the object of this article to pass these Opinions under 
review. Mr. Meek has furnished some carefully prepared notes 
which form the substance of this article. [
