University of Virginia, he joined the

 In 1879 he became a topographer of the 

 U. S. Geological Survey, and from 1882 

 to 1884 was attached to the Northern 

 Transcontinental Survey as engineer and 

 topographer. In 1889 he was appointed 

 to the rank of geographer in the Geo- 

 logical Survey, and has had special 

 charge of the surveys in the Pacific 

 Coast States — California, Oregon, and
