104 C. D. WALCOTT — OUTLOOK OF THE GEOLOGIST IN AMEKICA 



in central Connecticut by Gregory and Ford. Woodworth continued 

 his studies of glacial phenomena and of Carboniferous strata in the 

 Norfolk area, and Taylor studied and mapped the glaciated features of 

 the Housatonic and Taconic districts. 



In southwestern New York, Glenn made detailed studies of Devonian 

 and Carboniferous strata with special reference to coal, oil, gas, and 

 clays. In the Adirondacks, Kemp continued the mapping of crystal- 

 line rocks. Ogilvie mapped in detail the formations of a tract near 

 Paradox lake, and Cushing of a tract north of Little Falls. Harris 

 mapped the region above Crown Point and North Balcon island, on 

 lake Champlain. Fairchild studied glacial deposits of the western part 

 of the state, and Woodworth worked on the Pleistocene history of the 

 Champlain-Hudson valley. Clarke conducted or supervised areal work 

 about Canandaigua and Seneca lakes and the Niagara river and studies 

 of the stratigraphy and life of the Rondout waterlimes, of the limestone 

 lenses in the Rochester shales, and of the pyritic bed occupying the 

 horizon of the Tully limestone west of Canandaigua. Beecher made 

 collections of fossils from Devonian and Silurian horizons at Sheldrake, 

 Hornellsville, and Rochester. 



In Pennsylvania, Campbell and his assistants made detailed exami- 

 nations of Carboniferous strata with special reference to the occurrence 

 of coal, oil, and gas. Girty continued a study of the relations of the 

 Lower Carboniferous strata and their faunas. Stose worked on areal 

 and economic geology in the vicinity of Mercersburg and Chambers- 

 burg, and Bascom in the vicinity of Philadelphia. Williams studied 

 the changing constitution of fossil faunas as traced westward from the 

 central eastern counties. 



In New Jersey, Ries continued the investigation of clay deposits ; 

 Ktimmel and Weller studied Paleozoic formations at the northwest, and 

 Woolman was occupied with the collection and correlation of data re- 

 garding artesian wells at the south. Wolff completed the study of a 

 pseudo-leucite dike near Beemerville. Salisbury and Shattuck studied 

 Pleistocene problems of the coastal plain region of New Jersey and 

 Delaware. 



Field work by the Geological Survey of Maryland included the map- 

 ping of Prince George, Harford, and Garrett counties, with local studies 

 of clay and iron deposits; and laboratory studies of coal and fossils were 

 prosecuted. 



In West Virginia, I. C. White was engaged in the preparation of a 

 report on the coals of the state. 



Watson made a petrographic study of a part of the Piedmont plateau 

 in Virginia and North Carolina.
