REPORT OF PHOTOGRAPH COMMITTEE 701 



The photographs are now stored in glass cases in my office, in the build- 

 ing of the Geological Survey, Washington, convenient for reference. 

 Several members of the Society have obtained prints for use in reports 

 and text books, and it is believed that there ought to be a very much wider 

 use of the photographs for this purpose. It is expected that during the 

 coming year a large number of new photographs will be added to the 

 collection, selected from the vast number of views which have been taken 

 by members of the Geological Survey during the past few years. Contri- 

 butions for the collection are desired, but care should be taken that they 

 are views of general interest and illustrate geologic phenomena rather 

 than scenery. A high technical standard is also required. 



Eespectfully submitted.

Committee. 



The report was adopted, and the usual appropriation of $15 for the use 

 of the committee was voted.
