This book is a timely answer to the widespread questioning 

 interest of investors as to what the geologist can do for the oil 

 and gas operators. 



It is the only American book giving a description and bibliog- 

 raphy of each American Oil and Gas Field. 



Includes a general discussion of the North American fields, 

 with a bibliography of each. The management of oil properties 

 is discussed, and some new graphic methods proposed.
