fossils. The section in northern Alaska indicates two anticlinal axes, with 

 sharp flexures and faulting, separated by a broad syncline. In the southern 

 anticline the basal schists and a Silurian limestone are exposed. The structure 

 in the northern anticline is complicated by extensive faults. These Paleozoic 

 rocks are succeeded by gently folded Cretaceous rocks on both flanks of the 

 range. On the north the horizontal Tertiary sediments rest on the Cretaceous 

 beds.

SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PHOTOGRAPHS 



During the year 1905 there has been but little change in the collection 

 of photographs belonging to the Society. No new views have been ob- 

 tained, but through the kindness of the Director of the Geological Survey 

 about 100 old prints have been replaced by new ones, which are printed 

 in a superior manner and mounted on muslin. By this means the bulk of 

 the collection has been considerably diminished.
