64 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF WISCONSIN. 



have many waters whose medicinal qualities are of great value, but 

 not yet known and appreciated. 



It will be seen that the work of the several parties has been so dis- 

 tributed over the state as to give the most general and correct view of 

 the several rock-formations, and prepare the way for greater progress 

 during the remainder of the time allotted to the survey. The most 

 recent rocks — the Drift, Devonian and Upper Silurian came under 

 the special consideration of Prof. Chamberlin; the Lower Silurian of 

 the Lead region and the country immediately north of it were inves- 

 tigated by Mr. Strong; while the more ancient (Archaean) has chiefly 

 received the attention of Prof. Irving and Maj. Brooks. 



The chemical analyses needed for the survey have been, as hereto- 

 fore, under the direction of Prof. W. W. Daniells, of the State Uni- 

 versity, who has made a great number of full analyses, and numerous 

 examinations, with a view to the determination of the value of cer- 

 tain mineral products. 



General Geological Map. — With this report is presented a copy 

 of Mr. Chapman's sectional map of the state, on a scale of six miles 

 to an inch, upon which is represented the geological features so far as 

 they are known up to the date of this report.
