ber of this magazine, we have noted the salient points of Prof, 
Frazer's report on the geology of York county, Pa. We have 
now before us his complete report on that of Lancaster county, 
and understand that that relating to Chester county is in course 
of preparation. The maps of York and Lancaster counties ac-

mine of Bart township will attract attention. This industry, built
