GEOLOGICAL MAP OF CONNECTICUT, 190.5 

 BY H. E. GREGORY 



[Abstract] 



A complete and remarkably accurate geological map of Connecticut by James 

 G. Percival was issued by the state in 1842. Since that date maps have ap- 

 peared in reports and text books — for example, Dana revised 1897, Le Conte 

 revised 1903, Brigham 1903, and McGee 1893— which represent the crystalline 

 rocks of Connecticut as largely granite and Archean in age. A preliminary 

 geological map of Connecticut by Herbert E. Gregory and H. H. Robinson is now 

 ready for publication. The map shows practically no granite or other 

 unmetamorphosed igneous rock except basalt and diabase. No rock of un- 

 doubted Archean age has been shown to occur within the borders of the state.

RESOLUTION OF THANKS 



The following resolution was offered by Professor S. Calvin and unani- 

 mously adopted: 



Resolved, That the Ottawa meeting of the Geological Society of America will 

 long be remembered as one of great profit and pleasure to all the Fellows of 

 the Society who had the good fortune to be present. For the success of the 

 meeting we recognize our indebtedness to local organizations and individuals 

 more in number than can here be named. We would especially mention the 

 Logan Club and the members generally of the staff of the Geological Survey 

 of the Dominion of Canada, whose thoughtful foresight and painstaking 

 arrangements for our accommodation and comfort left nothing to be desired; 

 Principal J. F. White, to whose generosity we are indebted for the use of com- 

 modious rooms in the Normal School building ; their Excellencies the Governor 

 General and the Countess Grey, and many citizens of Ottawa, who placed us 

 under lasting obligations for gracious courtesies and kindly expressions of 

 sympathy with the work for which our Society stands. To each and all who 

 have thus contributed to the success of our meeting we express sincere appre- 

 ciation and extend grateful thanks. 



President Pumpelly made brief remarks and declared the meeting 

 closed. 



No formal session of the Society was held in the evening, but the 

 customary annual dinner was given, at the Bussell House, at which His 

 Excellency the Governor General was present with other guests. 



Following the dinner a reception was given by the Logan Club in the 

 Russell House parlors.
